GIFT RAP 12/13/18

Life

When I hear the beat drop it got me thinking bout my life,

How I ain’t got a real career, some kids, or a wife!

How it seems I’m living my days on the edge of a knife,

Balancing the weight on my back looking down from the heights!

The heights of foolishness and hope down into the depths of depression,

So I’m using this beat and my pen for a therapy session!

I’ve failed so many times trying that you’d think I’d learned my lesson,

But really I’d never have made it without the Lord’s blessings!

Letting me fall on my face so I know how it feels to fall,

Letting me get back up on my own so I could stand tall!

Letting me fight so I would know what to do in a brawl,

Putting me back up on my feet when all I could do was crawl!

Looking back on my life I can see the footprints in the sand,

Running through the crashing waves has made me a better man!

As I read the book of Job and consider my life’s span,

I realize all I can really do is trust God’s plan!
