Lyrics

Can you tell me what it feel like
to see the light in your dim life?
when you’re looking in the mirror in the morning does it feel right?
peek into your own eyes
what you see there?
is everything square?
or do you wish that you would go blind?
all I see’s fear
a man impaired
scared to speak his own mind
tryna find where I went wrong everything feels off
but time rolls on
what it cost for me to get lost?
think I’m bout to peel off
find me a new song
growth
it really hurt to leave my people behind
but I don’t seek to resign behind a line defined
by any other mind except mine I’m fine
so I sit with the divine and talk from time to time (uh)
but what we speaking for?
sometimes I didn’t know
maybe seeking different doors
a way for me to go
way to sew my seed in this earth sit back and watch it grow
found what I need is rebirth to seek a different goal
so I’m letting go
of all the evil no
it wont take ahold
of me the King is close
he slayed my demons so
I’m redeemed and chose
to preach of peace and hope
and let the people know

It’s time to get to work
no more hurt no more dirt
get your boots and your shirt
give it a good heave ho
let the good king know
that your soul’s his home
It’s time to get to work
no more hurt no more dirt
get your boots and your shirt
give it a good heave ho
let the good king know
that your soul’s his home
No more pain from your past
no more thinking you’re last
No more chains holding back
No more strain no more slack
No more saying you’re a hack
just pursue his path
like the Lord God asks
No more pain from your past
no more thinking you’re last
No more chains holding back
No more strain no more slack
No more saying you’re a hack
just pursue his path
like the Lord God asks


Truth
I thought I found it here in this booth
but whatever I’d do
I was aching for proof
that my life had turned a corner but the change was aloof
I became a recluse
I started eyeing the noose
Jesus caught me at my lowest showing me the abuse
I induce myself and then I use to excuse
loose lips that produce actions so abstruse
until he showed me the point
like I’m peeping a spruce (uh)
the world pushes lies
let em in my mind
prey to the design
the Deceiver stole my shine
taking what was mine
crossed a line
I was dying
til God gave me a sign
now my faith refined
so we back in business
I’m on the come up so come and witness
a dumb one who’s run the limits
a bum who deserves a penance
a heathen turned saint proficient in verbal fitness
who fell down in repentance
and was gifted God’s forgiveness (uh)


It’s time to get to work
no more hurt no more dirt
get your boots and your shirt
give it a good heave ho
let the good king know
that your soul’s his home
It’s time to get to work
no more hurt no more dirt
get your boots and your shirt
give it a good heave ho
let the good king know
that your soul’s his home
No more pain from your past
no more thinking you’re last
No more chains holding back
No more strain no more slack
No more saying you’re a hack
just pursue his path
like the Lord God asks
No more pain from your past
no more thinking you’re last
No more chains holding back
No more strain no more slack
No more saying you’re a hack
just pursue his path
like the Lord God asks

if you’re looking in the mirror
(no) you’re not perfect
may be a little lost in the search for your purpose
but there’s light there promise that the struggle is worth it
all you gotta do is get up get to putting the work in
if you’re looking in the mirror
(no) you’re not perfect
may be a little lost in the search for your purpose
but there’s light there promise that the struggle is worth it
all you gotta do is get up get to putting the work in
