Honestly, I strive to be
Just like the son, but I need more guide in me
Lord, just be with me as I go
Guide my path and put angels where I stroll
Though I try, I try, I try
To push and get right
Calling up to God through my big eyes
I try, I try to fight the evil killing all my flesh and show my people
Wassup with Uncle Twin, heard that he a preacher now
Better tell 'em I don't want it if it's evil now
I'm still a soulja, ain't no weakness in my meekness now
I live for Jesus, I refuse to let my people down
God must lovе my tears because Hе bottled mine
He wrote' em down on paper when He see me cryin'
God must love my head cuz He numbered them
Every detail of my life, every one of them
Made a covernet with my eyes, a covernet with my ears
Some things I refuse to see, some things I refuse to hear
A covernet with my mouth, won't speak the things that decay
Some things I refuse to do, some things I refuse to say, aye
Take my bible out, read it and apply it
Lord, I thank you for your promise every day that you supply, aye
Hands to Heaven as I look up to the sky
I know that I'll regret it if I never fully try
Honestly, I strive to be
Just like the son
But I need more guide in me
Lord, just be with me as I go
Guide my path and put angels where I stroll
Though I try, I try, I try
To push and get right
Calling up to God through my big eyes
I try, I try to fight the evil killing all my flesh and show my people
I told my nephew hope you grow to be a godly man
Find a godly woman, have a godly fam
Don't be like me and have your children scattered everywhere
Different pieces of my heart I planted everywhere
If you married there, you'd be buried there
Happily every after, not only man in the fairytales
Focus on the step, don't look at the stairs
Take it one day at a time, talk to God and prayer
Study yourself to be improved, to show you well prepared
Life can be unfair, but you know Jesus cares
Man, yo daddy would be proud to see you overcome
The man that you become, I love you man like you my son
You see this weight that I carry, come help me carry this
Everything I have before I leave, you will inherit this
Hands to Heaven as I look up to the sky
Both of us gon' regret it if we never fully try I strive to be
Honestly, I strive to be
Just like the son, but I need more guide in me
Lord, just be with me as I go
Guide my path and put angels where I stroll
Though I try, I try, I try
To push and get right
Calling up to God through my big eyes
I try, I try to fight the evil killing all my flesh and show my people
Hands to Heaven as I look up to the sky
I know that I'll regret it if I never fully try
