I made this song a loooong time ago, but it sucked, so I redid it, now its better i think
Basically its a story where I get some of the powers of God for a day, kinda like a Bruce Almighty thing
Been making music since late 2005, been doing a lot of the positive vibed stuff lately, things that I feel are actually worth talking about
Lyrics
Yo…you ever wonder what it’d be like to have all the powers you’ve ever dreamed of?
Could you handle it?
A weary night as I rested my head too fixed on amendments
Bent on conditions afflicting myself ambitions were ended
My hope was lost as I thought to myself our state of defiance
Reliance on drugs were the norm, trust me it’s not rocket science
Tethered in to these inhibitions enlisting in different missions
nothing to but just sit here, turn the news on and listen
I prayed for help and assistance, ability to make a difference
See I was finished, I didn’t care, I thought that life aint worth livin
That’s the beginning, from that moment the story picks up the pace
It’s not no tortoise hare race, I woke up blessed with God’s grace
chorus 1.5x
Took me a moment at first, my thirst for power was quenched
I had this given gift from God, in game I’m no longer benched/
Could I live up to my values, follow law and abide?
Could I divvy up my attributes, just throw the bad aside?
Starting at minimal increments I tested this skill
Then I wondered if the world could live if no-one got killed
Overpopulation became a factor, disgraced in my thinking
The power to change, but to not, to what abase am I sinking?
Started off with the petty crimes things I myself did
Saw other people commiting, responsibility kicked in
I harbored a haven in my heart, for all commiters of sin
I’d never felt this love before, before I’d never give in
The finite can never know the infinites nature
I could never be God, not even compared in his stature
I struggled to maintain composure, this is not what I wanted
All of this exposure to crime was just too much I cant stop it
The world was crushing my soldiers, it’s just too much for one man
Theres just no way to change the world when I myself couldn’t stand
chorus 2x
As hours passed desperation defeated aggression
As it clicked in my head what God had meant in this lesson
Defeated by will of my own I just want off of this throne
I didnt think before I jumped in like dogs running for bones
I grasped the key to your life tight in the palm of my hand
My instincts say you’re a threat but you’ll continue to stand
Every choice that I make has opportunity costs
And every moment I wait your opportunity drops
I wonder in question is this something I can quit or retire?
Sounds doubtful it’s not a job with a sign thats for hire
chorus 2x
I layed my head down to rest on that same heavenly night
I was scared of this gift I knew that I would not do it right
When I woke up the next morning, feeling the comfort of self
I knew that God had heard my prayer all I asked for was help
As the days went along, back in my clothing, my skin/
I thought about that day a lot of what the world could have been
I could have screwed it all up, truth is that’s probably truth
The world in confusion a state of delusion from a youth
In retrospect I remember, reminiscing that day
The mistakes that I made as I slowly sat down to pray
Chorus
These are the nights we pray
These are the things we say
These are the times we make
As we go through every day
These are places we ache
These are the risks we take
These are the pacts we break
These are the choices we make
