Tell you whats the truth regardless if its versus feelings
Any empty philosophies don't compute with spirit fillin
Appreciate support but praise I don't recommend it
If you know me long enough its guaranteed you'll get offended look
Call me a critic but don't speak for your approval
All eyes on me don't mean the truth will get removed my dude
Been shaped like clay, days in the womb made for me
Though sometimes I do complain my pain ain here to stay
Ay, I'm no longer resigned to how some view me from the outside
Have a timeline of hurts I hide I
Am not the hardest, don't stress what I've been through
And I know I'm not the strongest put my confidence in truth God
This flesh has often failed me and it never gives me love
Same for all my logic, my intelligence is dust
Jeremiah 17:5 show the truths above
On down thru Philippians its foolish choosin us
Loss of all our knowledge when we lose the fear of God
And its hard, recognizing how they thinkn when you play your part and before
Some folk seen me as lame, others like yu cool
Submitted to my elders, and done modelled for the youth
Yet still attacked and prone to act on if my day is smooth
Man, its the lil things my heart decides to take a hold of
Like despite people prophesyin over my life
I still carried bein called ugly couple times
And some think its only jokin when you throw about them words
But that death is ever present when yo tongue is loosely girdled
Ay I know sum glanced at me and thought I was nothin
And I know sum uplift with intent
I'm gone give em sumthin
None are for me
But on this line, it brings pride got me trying to flirt with dimes
Guess it was that feelin when she said I was a cute guy
love to make em laugh
Some called me sexy and I smirked inside
All while knowin I have no plans to provide or nourish one as a wife
Well
Its just that knowin I could make what my eye desires mine
Treasures in my heart dig til I find
It ain jus self-esteem im tryn be the God of my life
Its all cool, thru my faults and at the cross I learnEd forgiveness
When folk seeN my different when I'm spittin before thought me insignificant
Like hey
Ain kno you rap
Ye its a fact
At first held back but awkward convos benefit my tact
They be like where you been at?
ShooT I been right here
Prolly ain always as outgoing as I ought to be
I prefer sit back observe and choose my counsel carefully
Still it leads me to seeds planted and at that rejoice
Keeping watch that I don't fall to please the people's voice
Don't care no longer if I be the last people's choice
Yo
The perspective is different when I take an honest look into my inner workings
I've never been an athletic star nor the popular person
I don't care about your social class, caste systems
Is ancient I lay down the truth to the black white asian
racists bigots and haters
the geek alone at the table
the biggest football player
bring me out to a gangster
pregnant teenager
The gospel I been graced with
don't know names or status
Only the command to take it to the generation preserved before creation
to be saved but declaration is the mission that He laid
I don't know who is lost, but direction I'll display
And its definitely not by my efforts that I pray to see a change
Christ showin eyes they blind by the current age
I just gotta be faithful, ain't out for conversions
And if you countn who YOU'VE saved, then they may not be converted
Everything from the beginning of repentance to the remission of sins
Is a miraculous and mysterious event of grace's intervention
And I'm a walking witness, even in this state of incompletion I'm completing the commission
