My Problems Need Problems

MY PROBLEMS NEED PROBLEMS [SPOKEN INTRO] Man… I done been through so much, my problems need problems. You bring me an obstacle? Cool. Get in line. [VERSE 1] My problems need problems, they ain’t built for the pressure, Life sent me a challenge, I sent it a lecture, Said, “You picked the wrong one,” with a smile and a blessing, I’ve been through worse—this ain’t even an impressive investment. Had storms in my forecast, still walked through the weather, Had days falling apart, somehow pulled it together, Now trouble show up thinking it’s about to intimidate, I look at it like, “Brother, you about five years late.” I done wrestled with doubt, had anxiety boxing, Had doors slammed shut while opportunity watched me, Had plans fall apart like a cheap folding table, Still found a way forward—apparently I’m pretty capable. So don’t bring me pressure like pressure is new, I’ve been carrying mountains while pretending they’re shoes, You call that a setback? That’s adorable, my dude, I’ve survived things that would’ve made your problems quit too. [HOOK] My problems need problems, My trouble need training, Life keep throwing punches, I keep rearranging. You thought you could break me? That’s funny—try again. My problems need problems, And their problems need friends. [VERSE 2] I got confidence now, but it came with receipts, Had to walk through the valley just to learn how to breathe, Every loss left a lesson, every scar left a map, Now I see an obstacle and start looking for the gap. I don’t panic when the plan doesn’t go like I planned, God already knows the route, so I’m good where I stand, I might bend for a second, but I don’t break at the knees, Roots got stronger every time life shook the trees. I done had some bad days that deserved their own therapist, Some problems walked in looking like they needed a specialist, I said, “I got this,” they said, “You sure?” I said, “I’ve survived myself— what could you possibly do?” That’s the joke about struggle: it builds you in secret, You don’t notice the strength till the moment you need it, Now every new obstacle gets greeted with laughter, ‘Cause I’ve already survived the stuff that came after. [HOOK] My problems need problems, My trouble need training, Life keep throwing punches, I keep rearranging. You thought you could break me? That’s funny—try again. My problems need problems, And their problems need friends. [VERSE 3] I don’t claim I’m invincible, I just know I’m resilient, Had to become my own witness when nobody was listening, God kept me standing when I thought I was finished, Now every new mountain look like part of the fitness. I’m laughing at the pressure ‘cause I’ve seen what it’s hiding, Sometimes the biggest obstacle is where the blessing’s residing, So I don’t curse the struggle, I study the assignment, If life gives me resistance, I increase the alignment. New problem at the door? Tell it, “Come on inside.” I’ve got faith in the kitchen and experience outside, Got wisdom in the closet, got patience in the drawer, And a whole lot of lessons sitting underneath the floor. So bring me the impossible, bring me whatever you got, Bring the locked door, the long road, the impossible plot, I’ve already been tested in places you forgot— And if this is supposed to break me… You seriously need a better plan than that. [FINAL HOOK] My problems need problems, My trouble need training, Life keep throwing punches, I keep rearranging. You thought you could break me? That’s funny—try again. My problems need problems, And their problems need friends. [SPOKEN OUTRO] At some point… you stop asking, “Why me?” And start saying… “Is that all you got?” Because I’ve already survived the version of me that thought I couldn’t.
