lyrics

(chorus)

Take my hand & you can lead the way
Making sure we always kneel to pray (x4)

Verse one

See I was told that persecutions are only cool to the one holding the hammer & nails
Which explains why people have issues hammering details from their past out
Passed out from the exhaustion of carrying their own cross
And see, throwing in YOUR two cents
Doesn't mean you paid the cost to put yourself inside of my insoles
If you've been through anything, leave now
This ain't for you
This ain't for sometimey-ass folk who scream on Sundays between pews
Then view you like your shit ain't perfect
Quick to turn habits into Facebook statuses
But can't face themselves when it's time for action
I write line to provide sunshine for those with "Help Wanted" signs on their lives...
Is that you?

(chorus)

Verse Two

Somebody right now is too afraid to look at themselves in the mirror for fear of having so much shame
They may let the razor slip on purpose while shaving
I'm trying to save THEM
People wanna remind you where your shortcomings lay
As if they forget there's no exception except Him
When it comes to being less than perfect
But rather ignore their faults & focus on yours on purpose
Purposely searching for imperfections to rest your head at night
'cause your head ain't right if your shortcomings don't feel protected
So if you need somebody to clown on
You can look up to me to look down on
View my situations that you may frown on
But you don't realize that I went through my own hell in order to find home, so...

(chorus)
