Dagnabbit I got the same bad habits my dad had as a lad/ I get mad at myself sittin in the back of a cab feelin wack as a whip on the back of a slave on a ship back in the days at times waking up is slap in the face/ but the passion of one whose flesh was torn away by the cat of 9 tails an pierced by one spear and 3 nails/ has saved my soul but there's still times I get weak and there's still times I get beat/ and sometimes I write rhymes way to ill to repeat and I don't want to be another hypocrite on a beat/ but sometimes when the sun shines I wish I could sleep it away but today I woke up with some strength counted a couple of blessings and stepped out in the street/ and the sweet smell of victory put my mind at ease and the breeze told the tree's to whisper something to me/ and they told me don't worry I told the devil u was with me.
Jesus loves me this I know for the bible tells me so little ones to him belong They are weak but he is strong
Those who trespass allow me to forgive I wasn't dealt the hand they got lives they got to live/ besides they don't answer to me I'm not you and we've all made mistakes and known not what to do/ it's true see if I hurt you that hurts me I'm not entitled to the lord's tender mercy/ till I drop down on my knee's and say please put me into your solution and free me of this disease/ I won't make it one more step unless u take this load I tote with my soul I'll just break and won't wait one second longer than I must or bond with anyone stronger than this trust so/ the only thing to do is lean on you and not be lead astray by what the demon do.

Don't try to be the best man be the best that u can/ cause number 1 ain't nothing but the opinion of man and man loves death, hate, crime, and pain/ his kids are into theft, long lines of cane/ insanity profanity ecstasy and blasphemy but as for me I'm just tryin to maintain and it's a damn shame our brains have been trained to crazy and lazy scared to make change in these hard times I try to be a role model but I ain't gonna lie y'all I still battle the bottle and that's my biggest struggle/ I ain't the one to follow sometimes I get the urge to leave a 12 pack hollow/ just writing some inner-sentiments ain't none of us innocent from mansions to tenements whether male or feminine all of us are guilty of showing a little ignorance being resentful, envious, and belligerent/ one day maybe we can figure it out but till then I guess I'll just pull this cigarette out pull up a chair and open a brew, sit down on the porch and do what I do
Jesus loves me this I know for the bible tells me so little ones to him belong They are weak but he is strong
