The Hurt

they looking at me like he never gonna make it gave me a barrier I'm destined to break it I'll take it give me the good with the bad i had worse they say he not all the way there well at first i was susceptible to my environment that's one requirement the other is to see where I'm at and seek no higher than that stay ignorant to the facts just cause I'm black don't mean I gotta struggle don't even gotta hustle just use my mind and then contract my muscles that's how it work and that is what I must do become a diamond under pressure never let them crush you I gotta stand for something even if my knees may buckle cause they expected me to fail but i will prevail become the head and not the tail on my mama ima climb up despite the ones who tryna pull me down and wear me out like a designer im trying heart of a lion i triumph i gotta do it for my brother in the pin my mother in a grave my brother who in sin my pops work like a slave my sis who can't enjoy money that she getting paid my bro who in the army hope he don't lose his life cause I don't know that in his heart if he accepted Christ my life is like a movie you wanna see this drama remember swat was at my house and had the gun to mama remember I was in a drive by but i was the driver remember free lunch everyday but that soup was good tho I'm from the hood tho like really really from the hood tho we all they same so why am I misunderstood for I'm glad I changed all the glory goes to the LORD cause all that pain had the kid just going insane I lost my brain but JESUS brought me back to reality up out that fallacy that all a nigga good for is killing selling drugs fighting being cocky and stealing but now I'm willing to accept what he's instilling in me been through the fire came out clean and all i felt was debris came out them chains a modern day slave now I'm free still they discourage but I got courage they try to kill me with their words instead nourish still I flourished from all the dirt they threw on the kid don't ask them why just wondering if I can live without the negativity that's stripping me of my morality I know I got flaws but we all fall as a formality not giving an excuse for me to practice some carnality it's sad to see my majesty is as filthy as them Pharisees i gotta make it for the LORD cause he became a casualty carried his cross now im asking him to carry me my spirit willing but my flesh weak when I reach my peak and sitting at the top I'd like to talk to God and know it wasn't all for naught he paid the price for me I know it must've cost alot I could've been enslaved in a grave or in a cot I could've been got shot I could've been convicted but thank the LORD I never starved or even got evicted I can't complain cause plenty people got it worse i think I said enough y'all don't need another verse ..the hurt!
