Strenght For the Journey

I asked for strength for the journey But its in the journey I find the strength I hear lost souls cry out These are more than just words that I think Yeah I'm on the brink of disaster Lady Luck I'll come by and see you later But at this time I'm ending the game I only got like ten minutes But actually I'm running five minutes late Yeah! its kinda like my life story Yep, the red foe is crushed now Sure, I'm just like lightning that is struck down Like the beginning of wisdom, is to distinguish the differences I face my fears, I continue in the face of resistance Because the path of least resistance is what makes both men and rivers crooked If I have another hearing the judge will throw the book at me And last night, Oh my GOD why did you forsake me I got on my knees and prayed for guidance through this darkness I went back to where it started: and I walked away, took away the threat and became the target Of course I'm more than just a product of my environment I'm entirely> Aware that there are 2 kinds of conspiracy The conspiracy of the government and the conspiracy of the devil My soul is here just to show you, you must dig deeper inside yourself I've reached way past the point where it seems hopeless Every door in Sweetwater is closed to me So I close the door to hell and open the door to heaven It was God who said everything my hand touched would prosper And my hand has touched this keyboard And my voice is just screaming out to touch that microphone "Get your microphone and make it pretty; Put a skull around it for this city"
