[00:20.40]Check it out yo yo yo, check it out
[00:24.16]Yo, so here I am again. My scalpel is a pen
[00:27.82]I'm dissecting every sentence to unravel what's within
[00:30.33]This battle never ends, and I've been grappling ever since
[00:33.34]There were days I "couldn't walk" as if my tassel never switched
[00:36.33]And now I figure that the mission's only bigger
[00:38.74]I'm fixed upon the vision, but division's only bitter
[00:41.60]I drifted then I slipped into the fissure of my prison
[00:44.45]But before I even hit it, He delivered my forgiveness
[00:47.75]I took the train and made my way into the city
[00:50.04]Cause the traffic makes me think more than I want to
[00:52.61]I'm waiting for a stranger that will be my revelation
[00:55.65]Cause my brain is too dishonest for its own good
[00:58.45]Look, I'm twenty three, still naive to the procedures
[01:01.53]Like asking for a show of hands to seats of open bleachers
[01:04.66]I'm hardly confident, at least, I'm only eager
[01:07.17]To trying to make a leader out this heap of broken features
[01:12.15]I say that I'm trying to make a leader
[01:15.50]Look, every time I played and tangled with the slavery
[01:18.87]I always faked a way to set examples with my bravery
[01:21.63]I'm so ashamed, chains generate so painfully
[01:24.08]Father, take the yeast, father take it out my bakery
[01:27.20]I want strength, now I'm chasing with relentless
[01:29.64]Effort that will desolate my selfish independence
[01:32.48]Made it on my own, but I know I could've grown
[01:35.16]Into the man that he wanted but I chose to be alone
[01:37.91]My will to be corrected is like the Spring without the daisies
[01:40.86]The will in my reflection's like a swing without a base hit
[01:43.80]At twenty-three I never thought I'd stumble while I've aimlessly
[01:46.83]Spilled my recollection of the things I'd never say to me
[01:49.40]I find it's cutest how deluded you've produced conclusions
[01:52.35]Think you're rooted yet obscure with your secluded movements
[01:55.32]You're pretty stupid looking thinking that you're "suited"
[01:57.72]But your "seven deuce" is useless on the "river," (and you're fruitless)
[02:00.77]Who you fooling? Who you kidding? Why you trying to lie?
[02:03.71]Where you looking? What's your mission? What you trying to hide?
[02:06.46]And from the start I knew these words were never mine
[02:08.98]And from the heart, I knew these rhymes were... "never mind" (never mine)
[02:11.93]Broken like the fixture of silver that trimmed the mirror
[02:14.50]When the fear of my interior split it into its slivers
[02:17.28]More than just a battle, truly every waking movement's
[02:20.38]Like the blues and every wavelength vaguely adjacent to it
[02:23.34]I know it's foolish, but expecting takes practice
[02:26.20]I took upon my faith, equipped, and dispatched it
[02:29.39]God granted passage in seas for thick masses
[02:31.90](So I'm) Wishing for a spectrum in the midst of pitch blackness
[02:35.15]Former sense of preparation turns illusion
[02:37.40]When the milestones are too large to lift than they used to
[02:40.51]Can't live without you, my God, I want to face You...
[02:43.13]Twenty-three prayers from a kid who longs to break through
[02:46.11]Father, please forgive me for the arrogance that scars me
[02:49.00]And bear within me fruit on every terrace of my heartbeat
[02:51.72]Take my selfish, turn it into selfless
[02:54.72]And show me the true meaning of repentance
[02:56.54]I want to give praise to Your name, but distracted by praises of others
[03:00.62]Change my aim, lens, focus, and shutter
[03:02.74]Please forgive the fact at times my faith is trapped in the gutter
[03:05.44]Please forbid the acts of sin and all its powerful clutches
[03:08.32]Please heal the broken baggage that I carry voluntarily
[03:11.37]And bury all its merit and the weight that be impairing me
[03:14.14]Purify my heart dismiss the clutches of the briar
[03:16.91]Melt away my sickness... I trust in the Messiah
[03:19.77]So take away my craving for the lust and the desire
[03:22.53]And toss it in the furnace make it bust within the fire
[03:25.31]Speak to me Your Will, and Father teach me how to be in it
[03:28.12]Take from me my all for you say there is no median
[03:31.03]Place me on the narrow path for when I stray in deviance
[03:33.89]And take away whatever if it keeps me in obedience
[03:37.05]Forgive my anger, impatience, and pride
[03:39.65]Forgive those anchors that lay deep inside
[03:42.81]I want to be the man You called me to be
[03:45.39]And experience the freedom- how you bought it for me
[03:48.24]Talking is cheap. So Father, put your arms around me
[03:50.80]So I could show em through my life of how you're conscious of me
[03:53.90]Bless my family, fans, and all my friends
[03:56.98]And show Yourself again and again..hey man
[04:00.68]And Amen
