Can I Taste the Fruits of Paradise

Earthly treasures drag me down
Pleasures and short term comforts
All my heart's desires 
feels like i cant stand a chance
but my eyes are open wide
and getting off the way is my choice

Sitting all by myself
end times signs l see
fear of death and hell covers me with a strong shivering
noway to escape for i am so blinded
looking at these beautiful and sexy girls
walking half naked, cant vent

wish i could hold a hundred grand
to spend with haws and bitches
enjoying life dearth is coming
feels like after dearth comes cipher
with no treasures to hold

Life is supernatural, metaphysical
we all came from something
and we are going somewhere
will i stand the taste of time 
with these useless short term desires
Cover me Lord

The treasures that l hold
the beaut that i posses
they are stealing my time
Lord, would you take me as i am
show me the right way to live
and make me taste the fruits of paradise
