The Message

Maybe he's wondering if I'll
get the message, thinking maybe 
I'll pay attention to the signs or even
just do what I used to do and leave
it in his hands, man! sometimes I 
hate being who I am, I mean imma
Cancer, emotional needy at times,
loyal, affectionate always counting
my blessings but its hard being me
why did I have to be so different
it's a gift and a curse emotionally 
my feelings are hurt... then I think
back like why did me & my 1st 
have to break up, then I think
she was only in my life for 
that season but then I'm like 
whats the reason, why can't I find
true happiness but he's like yea you do
but I guess the way I worship you
just isn't enough, imma jealous God
and you got to give it all, who was 
there for you when ya back was against the wall
all I've seen you thru you better give me
the glory and praise I'm the reason you
always wake up seeing a better day 
but I'm like to God be the glory Lord 
I need your help ever since I left 
the military spiritually I ain't been myself
and he says that is you! But I had to 
test you to see if you was strong and
you were but you gotta understand
that you was living kinda wreckless,
you know my word why ain't you living
it? Live it. That’s The Message
