Stress Relief
Can I say what’s on my mind tonight?
Cuz what I’m feeling just ain’t right.
Constantly pushing it to the back won’t cut it.
Cuz when I look down at my wrist I think “cut it”.
No not for real, but life without me has been reeled across my mind like “Breaking News”, I need attention.
Not the “I’m proud” and screaming loud, “That’s my baby” from the crowd.
Guess if I ain’t get it then, I don’t need it now.
Wow, you can hear my hurt through those words
You can tell I’m perturbed by my past situations which morphed into mental commotions
But I don’t show it. I can’t cuz I’m too busy to the express, deal with, or settle my emotions,
God help
He hears me and I know it,
Not that his response will be as quick as my plea, but geez… patience is key
Unfortunately, it’s not the only key we need for these many locked doors we so seek.
I’m just saying we all want what we don’t got
So why even try to go through that door if it’s locked?
Well for me, I gotta fine these keys, cuz if I don’t get what I don’t have, it’s gonna be pretty sad I’m doing all this for nothing.
God sees me and I trust him.
He’s pulled me through all that then and still pulling right now, I’m glad somebody’s proud
If it wasn’t for him, I’d have no hope
Honestly, I couldn’t cope with what’s being thrown at me.
I’m not prepared enough to dodge these hits, but I can hear God saying up there, “She got this’”
So I’m not worried
At least that’s what I tell myself
But I think it’s true
Cuz all the time I’m thinking out the blue, “Can’t wait to see what I’m gonna do”
And it’s gonna be great, cuz God’s gonna guide me that way
And about that he definitely won’t be late.
Then I’m gonna say, (I’m sure this is cliché), but I’m glad God set up my life this way.
