Meaning of Life
Looking around
Darkness cousume's
Not a sound
Why keep coming this way?
Wondering confused
dont feel right in this place
Asking praying lord please show the way
Been here before
Many times
Trying to find a way out and the meaning of life
Its not suppose to be this hard?
People wonder why many keep up there guard
They wear the Whole! Armour of the Lord
Plenty snakes they lurk and wait
People stare while gossip about you in your face
Years pass and still judge by your race
They say
Black is just poverty for a generation
What a disgrace
Use to be whites that was killing blacks
Now they watch
While blacks kill blacks
Thats a fact
No not racist just this place
A world full of hate
Wasnt born with it but taught
Wanna run away
Cant find a safe place
Keep calling on Jesus
Seems he doesnt hear your cries
Like he's turned the other way
The devil wants you to lose faith
But nope! Just be patient, sit here pray and wait
This life is a maze
Some find a way out some trap in its space
Many give up and some just lose faith
Is this the meaning of life
Its a battle, a fight
Trying to live right
But seeems no matter what you do
Not enough it gets rough
Your already down many try to keep you there
Thats when they barely come around
Are show there old face
Hate to see you blessed
But we got to keep faith
This life is only a test
As for the rest god has a plan
For eveything done accordingly
To man done with his hand
So stand in that place
God put you there for a reason
Its only for a season
pray for mercy and grace
Seeking, searching
dont give up dont lose your mind
This to shall pass away like time
One day youll find your way
And know the meaning of life.
