Lyrics:
A sharpening of the mind when trying to rewind the time,
Memories don’t define what’s left walking this straight and narrow timeline,
I’m my own own best encouragement sometimes,
because I can’t shake the echo of my resounding rhymes/
I can’t get my own voice and lyrics out of my head,
I try to sleep my feet tap to beats while I toss and turn in bed.
If only those feet, while well meaning were put to the street,
intentions pave that street to where the devil will know defeat
I want to do what I don’t do and it’s true
that I do what I don’t want to do because intentions are empty shoes
Footwear is the embodiment of a tool
Intending to take the runner on a journey but there are rules
Because without the first step or action to follow through
The best laced up and perfect shoes are useless unless used
Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks
So I internalize the Word so they become verbs that teach
My tongue holds weight simply swallowing scrolls,
Following the sayings of Jesus, honestly honoring what He told,
Bold standing bearing barrages of attacks plentiful,
Words fall flat lacking action, so obedience in my reticle
Ready to run but willing to stand still,
I’ll readily stand steady knowing to Him mountains are like ant hills
And you can’t kill what’s already dead
So I strive to die daily because my flesh screams to be fed
What’s been said about those gone past before us?
As time passes what lasts is the legacy in memory stored up
I spit bars so my children will swing from them
Like learning exercise flexing strength on learning jungle gyms,
I run to Him who created the sun, the sky, the heavens
Praise the creator of my tendons for gripping this pen to write a sentence
I’ll remain relentless and resisting temptation,
Placing myself below the throne of He who stands alone – All Praise Him!
