Brave Face

Time and time And time and time again I've wasted time and money And abandoned several friends Ignored advice Lacking in some common sense Let me put you up on game Don't have the cents for the trends Cried out to God in my misery Dear God help me in my time of need Oh God please show me mercy Just knowing imma do the same thing next week Forgiveness is a virtue that we all should have Stuck a knife in several backs Praying I could take it back Loud when I should be quiet Quiet when I should be loud Times when I don't make a peep Busy bee No time for the sleep Rather run around the streets wit my head up Don't be giving heads up Wit my actions I am fed up Where can I go To who can i turn Ignorant black myself true lessons that I've never learned Yearn for the finer things in life Pray if I make thru the night Wake up to morning light That Jah will save me from my plight Tryna break free Can't be spinning in cycles What sense in reading the Bible If I do not apply it I'm in the fight for my life Just fighting my desires Desiring the truth But in cahoots wit the liars Tryna break free Can't be spinning in cycles Desiring the truth But in cahoots wit the liars I'm just a man who is stuck in his ways Just tryna get ready Cuz we all face the grave This is my Brave face This is me just tryna save face I am black and beautiful Through the help of the Lord Education And those who loved me I freed myself from the sentence of worthless I became a minister A doctor A lawyer And teacher I became a better person than what was expected of me I have the title of mister Truly I am black and beautiful I'm just a man who is stuck in his ways Just tryna get ready Cuz we all face the grave This is my Brave face This is me just tryna save face
