[00:00.06]When you're weary, feelin small
[00:09.35]And tears are in your eyes
[00:17.06]I will dry them all
[00:22.26]I am by your side
[00:28.08]When times get tough
[00:33.72]And friends just can't be found
[00:41.20]Like a bridge over troubled water
[00:51.33]I will lay me down
[00:54.77]Like a bridge
[01:22.27]Yeah
[01:23.11]Since ain't nobody rappin, I had to buss out the pen
[01:26.10]Who needs passion, they happily follow trends
[01:28.79]While they take it easy, I'm battlin thoughts within
[01:31.49]God give me strength to tackle the odds and ends
[01:34.20]Did the work to get on track, then ya fall again
[01:36.91]Devil want ya soul and ya back to the wall again
[01:39.81]Plottin my escape, if not now, then when
[01:42.54]I took my faith to heart, and it cost me friends
[01:45.31]Do they really love you, the fact is it all depends
[01:48.09]Rather play it safe and assume that they all pretend
[01:50.83]Rather not set myself up for them to disappoint
[01:53.63]You ont wanna hear me talk that talk, you better skip the joint
[01:56.44]Claim to do it for God, but wanna be pretty boys
[01:59.63]Debatin who the hottest in the city boys
[02:02.28]I ont have any bars, but let me hop in this car
[02:05.13]And hit the town to try and show em how I'm litty boys
[02:08.84]That's not gon get it done
[02:10.31]Don't get it twisted, we on two different missions son
[02:12.96]More than a few from out ya crew that went missin son
[02:15.75]Did the damage, keep it movin like a hit and run, yuh
[02:20.03]I always keep fightin
[02:21.31]You need the moral support, look at ya team hypin
[02:24.07]Talkin slick, but don't ever forget
[02:26.35]Oil and water don't mix, yall the definition of grease lightnin
[02:30.62]Out here causin a scene
[02:32.15]Every song ya drop, another marketing scheme
[02:34.79]Another campaign, another album to roll out
[02:37.58]Ya thought it was a game, but looked up and it's a blowout
[02:40.44]Took the high road when so many took the low route
[02:43.07]Guess them tours and merch ain't the only thing that sold out
[02:46.10]I got people that owe me splits and still ain't pay me
[02:48.97]Signed a lease with the homies, both of em did me crazy
[02:52.48]And then fell off the grid, maybe it was somethin that I did
[02:56.90]But I ain't livin rich, I ain't cop me no big chain
[02:59.80]Never knew you'd have such disdain for the kid, yuh
[03:03.70]Suddenly you avoidin friends
[03:06.20]Disappear till they makin noise again
[03:09.19]Guess it's the way it goes, we met the end of the road
[03:11.85]Even that ain't turnin you boys to men
[03:14.27]Caught up in a circle full of opportunists
[03:16.62]Tried to play it cool, but they was not the smoothest
[03:19.71]I ran outta room for yall on my to do list
[03:22.03]Seen a lil bit of Jesus, seen a lotta Judas
[03:24.76]Still made it through every kind of season
[03:27.88]Without any rhyme or reason, had to find a reason
[03:30.52]Even now I'm lookin for another line to squeeze in
[03:33.07]And yall thought that I was givin yall the silent treatment
[03:37.20]Not at all brother, gotta be careful wit who you call brother
[03:41.56]I know that pride come before the fall brother
[03:44.01]So Ima keep it mellow even when I ball brother
[03:47.22]Speak now or forever hold ya peace
[03:49.86]I've been known to preach over the coldest beats
[03:52.77]But I never needed you to notice me
[03:55.49]I'm just here to give you what was owed to me
[03:58.56]Every test, every trial
[04:00.01]Never flex for the crowd, they invested in now
[04:02.71]But I bet they couldn't even make it stretch for a mile
[04:05.42]Promise I would never keep it nothin less than a thou
[04:08.20]Dear Lord
[04:09.58]I was stressed, I was down
[04:10.96]I was pressed, nearly crushed, see the sweat from the brow
[04:13.78]I got lost in the maze, in the flesh, runnin wild
[04:16.60]Swallowed by the waves, outta breath, in denial
[04:19.22]Now I honor every promise I confessed wit my vows
[04:21.97]I got blessed wit a wife, blessed wit a child
[04:24.71]I got blessed wit His life, cleansed by His stripes
[04:27.65]What was mine from the start, I accepted it now
[04:30.21]Every step that I took, one for the books
[04:33.08]All sixty six, ask God how I look
[04:35.70]Not a pawn, not a rook, but a king wit a crown
[04:38.51]Any giant tryna run up on the team hit the ground, that's that
[04:46.23]Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
