I used to hop picket fences. drop into the next crib
dodge speedin' benzes to get to where to my friends lived
now it's pullin' out whips from the crib
tryna shine. mad problems when everything's so expensive
my life. i'm tryna find a way to live it
surrounded by bullshit. deal with it every minute
'cause homies'll hate you, but they'll never admit it
i'm just tryna find the straight path leading to the finish
it's hard to find something worth believing in these days
troubles got me thinkin' of returning to thief ways
night terrors always making me sleep late
maybe all the drama is the reason that we blaze
cops claim permission to use light force
put your face on the pavement, your new white forces
covered in mud. a mom's tears thicker than blood
I guess even in the midst of darkness, there's good. huh
[VERSE 2]
I remember holdin' onto crushes. tryna be sweet
I used to stumble on my words whenever that girl speak
and so i'd put it down in letters on some looseleaf sheets
I would've traded anything for just a kiss on the cheek
and now. bigger dreams. tryna get on tv
but even with exposure, will the right girl see me?
the nice kind of girl, they don't ever believe me
and the other type of chick give it up way too easy
but get caught up, you get slowed down
I need a lady raisin' me up, and holdin' me down
it's hard to find something genuine now
instead of momentary passions happening when you're in town
I'm sick of kisses that are less intimate than a hug
they lack sentiment. kinda like the stems of a bud
but every once in a while, it feel the way that it should
I guess even in the midst of nothing, there's love. huh
[VERSE 3]
I seen light in this tunnel. shining mad bright
but the shining's gone dim and i been stuck in that night
illumination gave me vision. let me see what was right
but now illumination's missing and i've lost my sight
a little lost in this darkness. needing some changing
I had sight then i lost it. but His grace is amazing
still i'm struck with guilt at times. the feeling is ancient
don't know how much longer i can say that this doesn't faze me
after introspection i can see why they blame me
looking back i wonder if it's really the same me
and certain insecurities are picking me daily
man, i've hurt so many girls. pissed 'cause this one played me
homies betrayed me. left me for good
so i'm shaky. what's faker than a false brotherhood?
only Jesus can save me. need help from above
I know even in the midst of hate, God is love. what
[CHORUS]
what's the meaning of life, if there aint love
and nobody to trust when u need it
there are many things, in the world u see
but it just aint what it seems
so i keep on fighting for my dreams
take a step with my feet
following my heartbeat
praise the one for the life, love and faith
