Feelings of a Sinner

[Harp Instrumental] [Verse 1] Thoughts come and go like the tune of a song, I want to be good, but everything I do is wrong. I roll another joint, knowing I won't quit, I'll keep sinning even if armageddon hits. My hands are moving fast as here I sit, A pen on the page tells everything I writ. [Verse 2] Enemies that come, enemies that go, Friends that have died, and backstabbing hoes. That's how we live, repeating the same almanac, Everybody wants the world but it doesn't want them back. [Verse 3] Everything in this world comes with a price, We were born to die or die to be reborn, We're children of the Devil or we're children of the Christ. Choices demand decisions, decisions beget outcomes, But whatever happens was ours to choose from, One way or another, the power's in our hands, The image of God splattered with the blood, Of his lamb. [Verse 4] We all want the riches, we all want the treasure, We all want the good times, the fun, and the pleasure, We all want what's best, for our sons and daughters, We all want the car and the mansion on the water, We all want the benjamins, the diamonds, and the bling, We all want the everyday buffet of the kings. [Verse 5] If only we never had to drink water for survival, If you don't understand, then here is my revisal, Everyone wants to dream and no one wants reality, Even I don't want to come face to face with my mortality, I want to keep dreaming until it becomes an actuality, I want to work hard, and change my life in its totality, That's why I make the melodies that erupt from my plight, And whoever tries to stop me I'll send into that good night. [saxophone solo] [Verse 6] I've already screwed up, enough to find myself at the bottom of this well, So just like Joseph, I'm sorry Lord that I failed. Forgive me in advance for doing what I'll do, Protect me from above, because down here I'll care for you. [Bridge] I am a man of the flesh, I am not perfect, but I tried, You wrote my destiny, but I don't want to abide, I don't want to be a prophet, I want silver and gold, To travel the world and have my name sung everywhere I stroll, For those who humiliated me to see me as a dragon, I can't turn back, this path is my passion, I want to serve my Lord, but I want to be someone, I can never deny you, though, because I'm your son, If you return and I am left behind, I will understand and concede, I just want you to know I still remember every night I prayed for you as I plead: [Chorus] Forgive me Lord, forgive me Lord, For I know not what I do, I wish to do right, but by evil I'm induced. I recognize that I am wrong and lead a life full of sin, I want to give my soul to you in Heaven in hopes that I'll be let in, Down here they're judging me already. Down here they're judging me already. [Ending] Forgive me Lord, forgive me Lord, For I know not what I do, I wish to do right, but by evil I'm induced. I recognize that I am wrong and lead a life full of sin, I want to give my soul to you in Heaven in hopes that I'll be let in, Down here they're judging me already. Down here they're judging me already. [End]
