lyrics

Verse 1
Peculiar dude of radical thought and action
Bruised to groom fanatical walk a path which
Verifies claims of a better way ain’t smoke
It’s why he can’t flow just to entertain folk
Graffiti Bridge Kid rhyming to a handful
Writing for the damsels tired of getting trampled
The thieves, the fiends, the wannabe coke lords
Hunting for something to believe in and hope for
A God fearer in the mood for drawls
Soul bearing in the nude for all with apologies
Mixing theology with spit from the heart and he
Confesses to stress perfect we ain’t gotta be
(‘cause) all are under construction,
What’s to covering up when in end utter destruction
Of flesh only happens when clock stops ticking
Still when his body rot ain’t trying to rot with it so he’s

Chorus
Just trying to do Lord’s will for real
Never mind what he might think or feel
Unsure if he’ll ever be sure still
If/when God says go he sure will x 2

Verse 2
A born loner introverted and soft spoken
Least promising prospect to draw folks in
With that given he’s quick to ask is it
In his best interest just to pack it in
He swore for Master’s sake he would have to take
A lasting gaze at rapping then back away
Still hasn’t settled that completely
So he’s inclined to want to peddle raps discreetly
But, gone from oddity to hot commodity
From not to probably to gotta be God it seems
Nudged doors open thus more focused
Mama n’em saying it’s because son’s chosen but
He feels only spitting stories for God’s glory
Will eventually get corny or boring
Though ambivalent all he wants dearest
Is to be a ventriloquist doll for God’s spirit so he’s

Chorus

Verse 3
He still steps to, work in his dress suit
Stressed ‘cause he’s yet to stencil his next move
He's hoping to press through leaving no debts due
In the next few own a crib with a fresh view
Couple guest rooms, brother’s easily pleased
Isn’t seeking something others gotta see to believe
But, you see what is key to him having a chance
Is his mapping a plan and he hasn’t or can’t
He’s Impassioned but lacking, focus was hoping,
Skies would divide exposing a notice
But no still elusive so, choosing to do him
Becomes tempting, then he runs venting
To own head begging it to think up schemes
Where he can earn from out the crib and just live unseen
Little comes of it but a few laughs but through that
The dude has clarity to view where shoes at then
Reminded every time scene seems bleak
By and by in the sky light beams he sees
So figures that when his withering ends ain’t meeting
The figures will bend provision will lend safe keeping
And that’s, the faith needed for one starving to know
Where to go to be shown in which garden to sow
Which is on every convert, and it’s hard work
But he’s taught that his life isn’t his any longer so he's

Chorus
