23 Prayers-Elyonbeats

[00:20.40]Check it out yo yo yo, check it out [00:24.16]Yo, so here I am again. My scalpel is a pen [00:27.82]I'm dissecting every sentence to unravel what's within [00:30.33]This battle never ends, and I've been grappling ever since [00:33.34]There were days I "couldn't walk" as if my tassel never switched [00:36.33]And now I figure that the mission's only bigger [00:38.74]I'm fixed upon the vision, but division's only bitter [00:41.60]I drifted then I slipped into the fissure of my prison [00:44.45]But before I even hit it, He delivered my forgiveness [00:47.75]I took the train and made my way into the city [00:50.04]Cause the traffic makes me think more than I want to [00:52.61]I'm waiting for a stranger that will be my revelation [00:55.65]Cause my brain is too dishonest for its own good [00:58.45]Look, I'm twenty three, still naive to the procedures [01:01.53]Like asking for a show of hands to seats of open bleachers [01:04.66]I'm hardly confident, at least, I'm only eager [01:07.17]To trying to make a leader out this heap of broken features [01:12.15]I say that I'm trying to make a leader [01:15.50]Look, every time I played and tangled with the slavery [01:18.87]I always faked a way to set examples with my bravery [01:21.63]I'm so ashamed, chains generate so painfully [01:24.08]Father, take the yeast, father take it out my bakery [01:27.20]I want strength, now I'm chasing with relentless [01:29.64]Effort that will desolate my selfish independence [01:32.48]Made it on my own, but I know I could've grown [01:35.16]Into the man that he wanted but I chose to be alone [01:37.91]My will to be corrected is like the Spring without the daisies [01:40.86]The will in my reflection's like a swing without a base hit [01:43.80]At twenty-three I never thought I'd stumble while I've aimlessly [01:46.83]Spilled my recollection of the things I'd never say to me [01:49.40]I find it's cutest how deluded you've produced conclusions [01:52.35]Think you're rooted yet obscure with your secluded movements [01:55.32]You're pretty stupid looking thinking that you're "suited" [01:57.72]But your "seven deuce" is useless on the "river," (and you're fruitless) [02:00.77]Who you fooling? Who you kidding? Why you trying to lie? [02:03.71]Where you looking? What's your mission? What you trying to hide? [02:06.46]And from the start I knew these words were never mine [02:08.98]And from the heart, I knew these rhymes were... "never mind" (never mine) [02:11.93]Broken like the fixture of silver that trimmed the mirror [02:14.50]When the fear of my interior split it into its slivers [02:17.28]More than just a battle, truly every waking movement's [02:20.38]Like the blues and every wavelength vaguely adjacent to it [02:23.34]I know it's foolish, but expecting takes practice [02:26.20]I took upon my faith, equipped, and dispatched it [02:29.39]God granted passage in seas for thick masses [02:31.90](So I'm) Wishing for a spectrum in the midst of pitch blackness [02:35.15]Former sense of preparation turns illusion [02:37.40]When the milestones are too large to lift than they used to [02:40.51]Can't live without you, my God, I want to face You... [02:43.13]Twenty-three prayers from a kid who longs to break through [02:46.11]Father, please forgive me for the arrogance that scars me [02:49.00]And bear within me fruit on every terrace of my heartbeat [02:51.72]Take my selfish, turn it into selfless [02:54.72]And show me the true meaning of repentance [02:56.54]I want to give praise to Your name, but distracted by praises of others [03:00.62]Change my aim, lens, focus, and shutter [03:02.74]Please forgive the fact at times my faith is trapped in the gutter [03:05.44]Please forbid the acts of sin and all its powerful clutches [03:08.32]Please heal the broken baggage that I carry voluntarily [03:11.37]And bury all its merit and the weight that be impairing me [03:14.14]Purify my heart dismiss the clutches of the briar [03:16.91]Melt away my sickness... I trust in the Messiah [03:19.77]So take away my craving for the lust and the desire [03:22.53]And toss it in the furnace make it bust within the fire [03:25.31]Speak to me Your Will, and Father teach me how to be in it [03:28.12]Take from me my all for you say there is no median [03:31.03]Place me on the narrow path for when I stray in deviance [03:33.89]And take away whatever if it keeps me in obedience [03:37.05]Forgive my anger, impatience, and pride [03:39.65]Forgive those anchors that lay deep inside [03:42.81]I want to be the man You called me to be [03:45.39]And experience the freedom- how you bought it for me [03:48.24]Talking is cheap. So Father, put your arms around me [03:50.80]So I could show em through my life of how you're conscious of me [03:53.90]Bless my family, fans, and all my friends [03:56.98]And show Yourself again and again..hey man [04:00.68]And Amen
