So it Begins.......
It’s been a hard week
And she’s really weak
So when it comes to Friday
Its time to release
Unsure of how to do it right
See she had already convinced herself
She left that life, but see maybe Satan didn’t hear you
Or maybe he did he just tuned you out
Because last time you tried to change
You changed again and said I want out
So he laughs,
While you cry
Immediately interrupted by friends
Who say they have plans for the weekend
Ignoring the renewed state of mind
She finds in Gods presence
The carnal brain takes dominion
And drains
Convincing herself this time
Will be the last that this lifestyle
Will finally be a part of the past
But not so fast
The grips of tradition don’t loosen
Because you tell it to
It’s trained to trap you
So tired of convictions
Wavering in her spirit
Knowing if she doesn’t go
She’s really going to hear it
Allowing the flesh to speed
Past the spirit with ease
And have the nerve to roll
Down the window and wave
It’s always been bold
Never having to compete
Its compelled to expand substantially
Recognizing a foreign light in its darkness
Not strong enough to stand up
So she sits down
And gets ready
Down the street her heels hit the pavement
Making deals with the Lord
As if it’ll be some type of repayment
But please
She knows this night all to well to pretend
I mean its like re-administering a drug into your soul
You swore you quit cold
Unaware of the grasp and its entire hold
So she prays
Prays for the mercy she’s getting anyway
See her flesh didn’t know any better
And she thought I accepted Christ
So it’s supposed to get better
Not knowing that this decision
Would be a process
Instead of the instant change she anticipated
Her intentions were right
But her flesh kept going left
And the two directions can’t function
Simultaneously in her body
So she is at war
And I hope she knows what she's fighting for
