Lyrics
Have you ever had the strangest feeling that you're losing control Oh God expecting these heathens to strike a chord Standing here between help me Jesus and thank you Lord Cuz livin ain't all that it seems Touchin a million without dealin ain't all but a dream And lately I've been overshadowed by some strange thoughts But mamma said their ain't no barriers I can't cross The Lord knows that I done had it up to head high And all day I gat a red eye so much pressure I'm just gettin dead high Nobody sees my struggle Nobody knows my pain They ask me how I'm doin Tell em I can't complain Nobody listens Pretend to be concerned but they just wanna know ya business I'm sippin on that syrup and dat Hennessy Tryin to drown my sorrows in the bottle like it's no tomorrow Although I know it ain't the remedy my heart is hollow I just don't wanna feel no pain I'm suffocating What I won't do to breath again Have you ever had the strangest feelin that you're losing control - control I'm just tryin to live a better life it's like I'm losing control - control I'm losin control Get on my knees and pray I thank the Lord fa life Ask Him fa health and strength Cuz I ain't walkin right I'm leaning to the left lookin fa trouble Confused I used to go to church lookin for sumthin I ain't neva found My heart is broken by the time I try to settle down Cried me a river so my heart is cold as ever now Just tryin to focus on dem dollars But loss after loss less money more problems Chance after chance risk my freedom for a profit But I could hardly seem to see it Momma beggin me to stop it Bills gettin higher now rent's overdue S*** cable and wireless is down Tryin to get this foo f*** It ain't no rules to this game and such Cuz your loss could be somebody else's gain It sucks And I'm just lyin here Pennin my feelings to a verse Talking to myself wondering if things get any worse In my time of trouble in those moments of despair All others lend a deaf ear Truth is you know my heart My hands ain't clean So I ask - I pray do not remember the sins of my youth Nor my transgressions According you your mercy remember me for you goodness sake oh God For the burdens of my heart have been large Bring me out of my despair Look on my affliction and pain Forgive me
