Making My Way

I’m feeling that feeling I felt in the beginning Times flying by my minds still spinning I think I’m losing ground And my patience is thinning Getting tangled up in the webs Life’s spinning Further from where I’ve been But no closer to winning It’s the bottom of the ninth And there’s still another inning I’m taking no prisoners I’m coming out swinging I have dirt on my hands And I gotta keep digging Gotta keep praying to make my way Gotta keep writing To keep the dark at bay Gotta keep fighting To keep the light of day Gotta keep writing my life to a page I’m a slave to a grave I’m a beast when enraged Like a lion in a cage So I rage to a page Like the blast of a gauge Until my last breath And this world fades away Reality and I are Really out of reach I’m off the chain running Like a dog off his leash We don’t see each other there’s no need for the speech I gave you what you asked for I’m no longer in your reach the time may have passed But the past doesn’t last last impression that you made Is the one that will last But there’s sunshine in my future like a weather forecast (So) my faith stays strong And my feet steadfast Gotta keep praying to make my way Gotta keep writing To keep the dark at bay Gotta keep fighting To keep the light of day Gotta keep writing my life to a page The day I picked a pen up I started crafting on my art I’m an artist at heart And this writing plays it part In the story of my life I remember where it starts I bleed this ink It’s the blood in my heart But Lord forgive me For the feelings I feel Cause right now This feelings too real I’ve had time to heal But I’m still trying to deal Do I have a heart of gold Or a heart of cold steel I’m quietly behind the scenes Writing towards my dream Walking this path Is harder than it seems This life is tough And this road is rough Some days I’ve just had enough I don’t need conversation That leads to confrontation enough aggravation To fuel my frustration My hearts still straining I’m patiently waiting For the day that I’m escaping Because the sky stays raining My focus is refined And I’m hitting where I’m aiming These lines lights fires My word game is flaming But times slipping by I can feel the reaper gaining many years in this fight Endurance is my Family Crest chances went by moments unaddressed Weights getting heavy I feel it crushing on my chest I’m trying to endure I try to give it my best I can’t fail the lesson And expect to pass the test This life is a quest there’s no treasure chest The real treasure comes When the truth is confessed It becomes manifest And the Lord says your Blessed Gotta keep praying to make my way Gotta keep writing to keep the dark at bay Gotta keep fighting to keep the light of day Gotta keep writing my life to a page I’m striking like lightning Cause I’m quick with my verbs My mind is a book Overflowing with words I’ve had my share of standing on curbs Went from living in the hood To living in the burbs I’m living proof that success occurs Every pro was once amateurs I’ve developed a taste for writing I’m a word connoisseur Within these lines My place is reserved If I ever leave earth I hope my time had worth I know life’s work But I’m gonna make it work Gotta keep praying to make my way Gotta keep writing to keep the dark at bay Gotta keep fighting to keep the light of day Gotta keep writing my life to a page My life to a page My life to a page
