Reaching the Pinnacle
There’s a lot I don’t talk about
So there’s a lot that you don’t know.
I write to release emotional pressure
Every time i script a flow
The pain eats away my sunshine
Until I’m left in shadow
Fighting to regain my place in the Light
Is the hardest fight I know
Been learning new techniques
To Freak these lined sheets
You can ask about me
But you won’t hear about me
on any of these streets
I stay completely off the radar
Been dealing with emotional issues
With the dark side like I’m Vader
There’s a time to go hard and pray hard
And wait until the times right
Pray thru the dark times the hardest
And know that after night
Comes the sunlight..
You should stand for what You believe in
Even if sometimes that’s a hard fight.
I sit down to write these verses and
My hands Strike the surface of the table
I’m Ready willing and spiritually able
I know A man can only succeed if his foundation is stable
Standing on two legs is good
But there’s 4 to a good table
I’ve learned to never eat with my enemies
I keep my heart upon my Fam
And although sometimes I fall and crawl
Falling down is part of learning how to stand
Trusting too many is the downfall to any man
But finding God is the only way
For a man to truly understand
That The Lord tests a man
to improve the quality of his mind.
Withstand the testings
To learn the lessons
The blessings come in time
Hotter forges make stronger steel
Solid faith makes faith stronger still
Wether or not someone believes
Good God!
The Lord is always real!
Contemplation of this and more
is always how I feel
Bible Study and baptism
Have been Part of my soul searching
Reaching for a higher pinnacle
knowing that life ending
Is for certain
And when the show is over
And the Lord starts lowering my curtain
I want to be free
And in a place that puts an end to all my hurting
There’s a higher pinnacle that I can reach
I hear of it every time
I hear my Pastor preach
And He’s only repeating what it was that
Jesus would teach
Heaven is so real
It’s just a little bit out of reach...
The race is not given to the swift or the strong
But to those that endure
The world is spiritually sick
and The Good Lord is the cure.
The Lord is to be magnified
In all that we do.
Neither angels or demons
Or powers of darkness
Can topple what He can do.
I know the Lord has been Good to me
And I want to share what He has done
The truth of Life
Is Jesus Christ
Lord may Your Will be done.
I Love You Father.
