Real Talk

Let the water run
And let the feeling go numb.
I got stronger words than a guy on rum.
Im on cloud 9 but no smoke in my lungs.
My energy I won't give you some.
I might of came but my heart won't come.
I'm going to die on them.
Put my shoes on them
And tell me if they are the same when sin falls on them.
I don't care what you feed her.
Because she see the big picture.
I know in this christian life im just a beginner.
They look at me like they never saw a sinner.
Its like every time they talk about.
It start with do you remember.
He is a bad gifted like a cold black December.
I have a trust issue.
I dont know who to trust when im having my dinner.
Because one Jesus's disciple betrayed him.
Colder than any winter.
Its like everybody wants to be a winner.
But im cool having last place and yall can be the contender-Mario Perez
