Lyrics
A story to tell, on every syllable
About how pitiful we are, so it's hard to keep it minimal
This track's a prayer ... studio's my confession box
Mic's da thin line dat represents, da connection spot
x3
(Dear god n almighty above ...
I've caused so many sins ...
Dunno where ta begin ...
But i'll take da first step ...
Ta confess ...
Dat I havn't been at my best ...)
VERSE 1
========
I've crossed da line of good n evil at da point of no return
Credits i've earned as a child's gone, forcing my soul ta burn
As i mature, i realised i'm dyin' slowly
Try n show me how i can amend dis devine story
U've probably caught da moment of crime like kodak
Even wit remorse n regrets, i realise i can't go back
Hatin' dis situation, sin dat is procreatin'
Believin' there is no satan, dats devil's true sensation
Da truth is hedious, at least i face it
Da damage has been done, and i know i can't replace it
I'm tryin' my hardest ta redeem n harness
Regardless of obstacles set in my dream dat seems scarless
It's sad ta see doings dat seem bad ta me
Thruout centuries, ya name's been ruined by blasphme
It's ridiculous, how my views aren't unamimous
Shit's scandalous it's disgusting like scarred tarantulas
Chorus
======
Pride, jealousy, lust and wrath
Covetousness, envy, locked in our acts
Arrogance, gluttony, sloth in my path
Headin' foward but i feel da devil knockin da back
As my youth wears away, i'm becoming more of a man
But tears stay forever, collected in da core of my hand
The truth hurts ...
VERSE 2
=======
I try and fix things, even though, i was set up (By da devil)
It's not how u fall, but it's how u get up
So i'm puttin' da guards down n start confessin'
Tellin' good n evil apart is my hardest lesson
I'm not wat i used ta be, but i'm wat i choose ta be
Confession is da mystery dat puts me out-my mysery
Stage is da temple ... Audience are disciples
My life of hip hop is wat resembles da bible
Hip hop's da simple cycle dat never stops
I swear dat my vital soul will never drop
But u better top wat you promised and improve dis world
People are crude throughout, so remove da pearls
Money intrudes the walls, within' da devil's level
I feel like a magnet caught between da metal's rebel
Filled wit da force of evil, dat makes me feel remorse
Now i'm payin' for my sins, makin' me kill da course
Chorus
======
Pride, jealousy, lust and wrath
Covetousness, envy, locked in our acts
Arrogance, gluttony, sloth in my path
Headin' foward but i feel da devil knockin da back
As my youth wears away, i'm becoming more of a man
But tears stay forever, collected in da core of my hand
The truth hurts ...
VERSE 3
=======
Can u hear me lord? Help me capture da essence
Check in da future to see if it matches da directions
Of my, dreams dat i dream, on da daily
I'll endeavour forever hopin' it better trails me
Tell me, how i can ease dis brutality
I wish i had ta power ta, cease da reality
People's apathy's makin' me breath in da agony
Seein' families continue breedin' insanity
To meet my fantasy, i take my first step
Hopin' u'll accept my words, dat'll help, get me to my target
A restless, heartless individual
Hopin' these cathartic lyrics, will help me reach my pinnacle
My life's a play, so please start, craftin' my set
Juss, promise me a world of happiness, after my death
Juss, promise me a world of happiness, after my death
Juss, promise me a world of happiness, after my death
Chorus
======
Pride, jealousy, lust and wrath
Covetousness, envy, locked in our acts
Arrogance, gluttony, sloth in my path
Headin' foward but i feel da devil knockin da back
As my youth wears away, i'm becoming more of a man
But tears stay forever, collected in da core of my hand
The truth hurts ...
