Lyrics : Chains
Tell me why, tell me why
Oh, ooh, ooh
It's levels to this
It's God's plan, but the devil won't let me execute it
I can hear him in my ear tellin' me I won't ever do this
Looked in the mirror, had to tell myself I'm never losin'
Let go of the past, 'cause when I'm looking back I pay for that
Stopped being selfish, everything He gave, I gave it back
No more consequences, I done had my taste of that
So much guilt, I felt it in my rear, like baby back
I prayed on that
I think they wanna see my demise, they laughing in my face
So much disaster in my life, I can't evacuate
Teachin' me patience, so either way I'm gon' have to wait
How come this lesson take so long when I'm gon' graduate?
I see so many rainy days, I value seeing sunlight
Financial issues, can't worry 'bout what my funds like
I need my purpose to balance out with my love life
Can't let mistakes that I'm makin' affect my son's life
That I rise above in a plane
And part of that risin' above is me elevatin' myself to a higher dimension
And the plane that I was operating in
God don't want me there no more
He wants me to take it up a notch
I gotta take it up a notch, I'm too comfortable in my spot
They be waitin' like the cops for this music, I gotta drop
Feel like I'm close to the top, I get distracted, I'm gon' flop
If I'm not humble, it's gon' stop, I give thanks when they give me props
I say it's God-written, don't take no credit at all
For the reason I been spittin'
Been doin' this for over ten years, and I think they finally listen
'Cause it wasn't moving at all, 'till the day that I committed
Until I repented
Every time I let my anger ride, I feel conviction
Them demons on the prowl, I moved 'em out, that's an eviction
I often can't control my lust, would you call that addiction?
'Cause when I fall into it I no longer see the vision
I be so blind when I'm in sin that I can't see myself
I feel like God believe in me, but I still need some help
Locked in them chains, I can't explain all of the things I felt
The only way to break these chains is if I free myself
That's where we get in trouble, right?
Is when we operate in the flesh
And we lookin' to satisfy that need for adulation or anger, or whatever it may be
I can't get pulled into that
Oh, ooh, ooh
It's levels to this
It's God's plan, but the devil won't let me execute it
I can hear him in my ear tellin' me I won't ever do this
Looked in the mirror, had to tell myself I'm never losin'
Let go of the past, 'cause when I'm looking back I pay for that
Stopped being selfish, everything He gave, I gave it back
No more consequences, I done had my taste of that
So much guilt, I felt it in my rear, like baby back
