Catch 22

'Cause why would he leave me in a catch 22

(Chorus)

(Verse 4)

Yo kid ya gotta live to get fed up

Ev'ry-thing's kinda sped up

You got's to come head up

And just don't let up

I know life's been bangin', boomin', hittin'

You can't catch a break so you're thinkin' 'bout quittin'

But listen, the life lesson is in launchin' out into the deep

Yo you gotta keep fishin'. Theres one who controls who you are and be

Which is a slight definition of the Almighty

But don't get it twisted, He's faithful and cares

And won't allow you to go through more than you can bear

But with all your temptation, He'll give you an escape

So whether you've been molested or whether you've been raped

Or born in the ghetto in a cold water flat

Blind, or deaf, handi- or capped

Hold on deliverance is nigh

'Cause you can get you piece of the pie

In the 'twinkling of an eye'

And God can't lie, it's a test, a plan

So will you still hold on when you can't understand?

Will you hold on so that God can get the glory?

You'll get the reward - He'll tell the story

About a person that had a hard life

The stress and the strife

And nothin' went right

And so much pain, didn't know what to do...

But still serve God despite the catch 22

(Chorus)

(Tonic Extended Chorus:)

Indeed for real

We tryin'a say, catch 22, catch, catch 22

You catch it if you don't, you catch it if you do

Catch 22, catch, catch 22, but the catch 22 ain't true. Ya!

Catch 22, catch, catch 22, you catch it if you don't, you catch it if you do

Catch 22, catch, catch 22, but the catch 22 ain't true - for real. Word life

To my man Tubb, thanks for the phat track

We be The Gift. With my man Earthquake, ya, and I be the Tonic
