My spirit was hangin on by a thread
So I was thinkin maybe you could raise me from the dead too
Know ya prolly thinkin, know how many times I blessed you
Not to mention that you made me strong enough to press through
Pressure busts pipes but without it ain't no diamond ring
Can't get the wrinkles out without the heat from the ironing
Learned so many lessons plenty of em were the hard way
You were right beside me but it felt like you were far away
All day, stewin, the devil inside he keep brewin
Leave ruins, shattered it all but imma keep gluein
Keep movin, remember the promises of the father
- to keep ready baby ya gotta be like the water
Baby, malleable, and never underestimate what's valuable
If only everything was fixable with throwin capital
And I ain't see that catapult comin forever thanking you
I prolly woulda waited forever so I could make a move
- it ain't an easy life - and that's the whole point
- Found a little piece of Heaven while I roll joints
In the wee hours it's cloudy can't even see outta
And the tree sour you look so good I could de-vour
I screamed louder than ever that was the Holy Ghost
And imma try to pull you inside me when you say hold me close
Ain't gettin back those days we took for granted but dammit
Know they can't keep me out this time I just step on it and ram it
Ain't notin preciouser to me than time wit you when it's candid
And I still kiss the ground and thank the lord every time I land it
I'm still in awe when I look around I see how we expanded
No longer feel like a cast away I can't really be stranded
On a new road, this one is harder I move on two toes
Like ballet dancers, I'm Mike - not Kukoc
I don't know how much I can stomach and still save face
Now I know why I keep on runnin and in same place
I ain't gettin started wit notin until I say grace
- it's complicated, prices on a case base
- - I was just floating out in them murky waters
Clear as a bell now, - so I know that you heard me father
I don't do the dash anymore, I just escaped a crash
Reminiscing thinkin bout you, forgot to shake the ash
You forever queen of my world, and you don't need a sash
Use me how you need me I'm here, I'm finally free alas
