Poem Title:
Poem
I use to drink to kill the pain, I'd overeat to kill the pain. But I couldn't explain why I couldn't maintain, outta my mainframe And I couldn't reboot at the push of a button for nothin' I kept trying but my mind was holding back from somethin' Heart was stuntin' a million miles, but where was it going. Like becoming blind at the end of a book, I was never knowing. The end of my story, my destiny and no glory, God before me Screaming from dusk till morning but the world ignored me. Poor me, sorely being muted without my tale being told. Feeling so old had a bitter heart gone Cold, mouth didn't hold. Outta Control, but yo, now I'm ready to spit this venom. I'm betting the world will go silent when I speak his lessons This blessin' that he gave me, a talent to twist up my speech In a way that each with blasphemy can hear me teach I don't preach, I hope I reach, cause this real talk should be heard His word is the truest literature we can put to work. For what it's worth I ain't never been a Bible thumper But it's saved me from going crazy in the midst of a slumber Now I know my number, where it is that he's got me headed, In debted, he's prepared a room for me and I won't forget it. I get it, that times get hard, but oh my Lord I'm holding on. Keep me moving along when my mind is gone keep me strong. Cause along I'll come amongst those vipers and serpents Not deservent to be his servants, I'm a move with the currents Move with a purpose cause I'm hurtin' to be what he made me Thanks be for me to be a child of God, call me his baby. It's Biblical safety that he gave me, to be walking on gold And oh, the gates made of a single pearl as he told, So behold the glory that nonbelievers can't comprehend For all of them, trust in science that changes without end Amen. God's words consistent and science can't disprove it. Call us dumb cause they don't understand how to use it. They refuse it, the power of the Holy Spirit when it thrives. They can say that we're fake but my faith won't be denied Catching vapors off this paper, high off the Holy Scriptures Painting a vivid picture, you'll feel his gospel when it hits Ya. Did it getcha, I pray that it did, there's reason behind it Cause it's not for the pure at heart, but those in sin. And let the church say "Amen"
