Lyrics and translation
Original
Okay.
I've been dealing with anxiety, yeah. I've been practicing sobriety, yeah.
I've been channeling the higher me. Somebody lied to me when I was young. Told me that
I couldn't be who I am now. Boy was they wrong 'cause I'm the man now.
Know they all jelly and I make the jams now. Fuck sittin' 'round, bitch, I had to stand out.
They reachin', comin' at me with their hands out.
I'm reapin' what I sow, life panned out. Granny asked me what's wrong and seen stress.
It's not a secret that I need a reset. Recently, I grew a love for beaches.
These days, I just wanna be where the peace is. 'Cause I'm broken inside, pickin' up the pieces.
Know my vulnerability is not a weakness, it's a strength.
Still, I been standin' right on the fence. Tryna wash away my sins, I repent.
Countin' my blessings, know I said been sendin'. Always make dollars, Lord make cents.
Gotta pay attention, take a look within. It's the time well spent, it's all up to Him.
Center my attention anytime I can. Lord knows I've been tryna be a better man.
Lord knows I've been tryna be a better man. Mm.
I'm just tryna play my part. Even though sometimes it get hard.
But I can't get lost in the dark. Long as I'm following my heart. I'm just tryna play my part.
Even though sometimes it get hard. But I can't get lost in the dark.
Long as I'm following, I'm following my heart. Put my trust in God, know He lead the way.
Noise get loud, know you need to pray. Can't give up, this could be the day.
'Cause sometimes that gold three feet away. Put your trust in God, know He lead the way.
When the noise get loud, know you need a break.
Can't give up, this could be the day. 'Cause sometimes that gold three feet away, three feet away.
Okay.
My mind is like a web browser, got way too many tabs open.
Voices in my head been gettin' louder. Tellin' me to stop, but I keep goin'.
Gotta keep my energy in motion. Can't be blinded by my emotion. Got three eyes that I keep open.
Tunnel vision how I keep focused. Gotta give Him my full devotion.
'Cause disbelief lead to corrosion. Count me out, but I know I'm chosen.
Can't be a swimming pool, I'm an ocean. Won't be the fool no more. I found beauty in my flaws.
Know I gotta give Him my all. Till the day my name get called. I'm just tryna play my part.
Even though sometimes it get hard. But I can't get lost in the dark.
Long as I'm following my heart. I'm just tryna play my part. Even though sometimes it get hard.
But I can't get lost in the dark. Long as I'm following, I'm following my heart.
Put my trust in God, know He lead the way. Noise get loud, know you need to pray.
Can't give up, this could be the day. 'Cause sometimes that gold three feet away.
Put your trust in God, know He lead the way.
When the noise get loud, know you need a break. Can't give up, this could be the day.
'Cause sometimes that gold three feet away, three feet away.
