Lord Knows

LORD knows, they've taken me down before

They've taken me down like a fool, like a fool

LORD knows, I'm skating right out that door

Away from you, away from you

All these faces in the crowd, got my thoughts getting loud

LORD knows what I'm about, why they tryin' to bring me down

I'm just tryin' to advance, change up my circumstances

Gotta take a couple chances, keep on looking for them answers

But they don't come easy, I'm praying for solutions

Puttin' forth restitution, because of some decisions

Now I'm movin' with precision, had to lose the old me

Yeah... personal eviction, had to trust my intuition

And now it's been tougher, I lost my grandmother

So I'm coping with that loss, and I'm feeling kinda lost

I just feel I'm kinda off, so I'm tryin' to turn it on

Do everything I want, before a young brotha gone

And so I must contribute, to what my purpose is

Gotta do it for the LORD, gotta do it for my kids

I do it for the wifey, even if they don't like me

I continue writing, LORD knows, I keep fighting

Now I'm away from you, but you be calling me

Telling me, everything, that you be going through

Why you treat me like a fool, I ain't wanting all that stress

I got plans to be the greatest, but I'm working for the best

See, I know about the levels, I gotta take my time

Y'all be bringing me that bull, are you trying to take my mind

If being different is a crime, then go 'n lock me up

If you want to talk about success, we can gonna chop it up

Can't settle for nothing less, keeping my standards up

Keeping my chin up, when I make it, then what

I done a little strategizing, but I can't even call it

Just know that I ain't falling, whatever you wanna call it

Even when I know I'm failing, trust me, I'm never bailing

I promise in due time, I gotta be prevailing

LORD knows, the struggle coming, I tell ya I'm never running

LORD knows, my time coming, LORD knows, my time coming
