"6 PM Discernment" lyrics
Readin' Proverbs, and I finally get it now
Every verse is tellin' me to watch who I'm hangin' 'round
No names mentioned, like a case with a missin' file
Even see myself when I read it and break it down
I tried to save 'em from theyself, they ain't wanna be saved
I had to realize some people don't wanna change
It's like I'm tryna hit the gas and they hittin' the brake
That's why I gotta go and fast for a minute and pray
I'm tryna watch the way I speak to the people I love
I had to stop the power that be in the word of the tongue
I had to go and look at Jesus and see how it was
He showed authority, but still kept the peace like a dove
It's takin' more of me to get to the place that I was
I can't keep pourin' me when I got the emptiest cup
Yeah, I need more of You, Lord, it's never enough
Still waitin' for the sorry I never received
Everybody wanna call when you got what they need
Everybody wanna call when you give it for free
Put up boundaries, it feel like they payin' a fee
I've been competin' with myself, and it's settin' me free
But some people feel like they competin' with me
The only enemy is you when you look in a mirror
If you don't know that that's the truth, then you bein' decieved
They say that poor communication can ruin a marriage
But most of our communication we learn from our parents
We still in the therapy if I'm bein' transparent
Just goin' out to get that help is a product of carin'
How you tryna make disciples, you not a disciple
They don't wanna go to church, but they want a revival
No, you can't save souls at the top of the Eiffel
Know it's easier to fall when you stuck on the ice, oh
Lot of bitterness and envy I see in this space
A lot of hurt, a lot of pain, I see in this space
A lot of false expectations, I see in this space
So many dotted lines signed and futures erased
I said it ninety-nine times, and I'm blue in the face
When people want a quick name, they do what it take
You can bring 'em to the water, but can't make 'em drink
Good things take time, I'm lovin' the wait
I've seen talent and great minds, but numb in the face
'Cause they could never see the signs that's right in they face
Your talent could take you far, but if character breaks
You gon' fall out of the sky like a comet in space
They whisperin' my success, but they scream the mistakes
They really talk behind my back and look dead in my face
It's people really got my number, could give me a call
But they'd rather get online and say what they say
I almost forgot the plot at the end of the day
Chasin' things on this Earth that will wither away
Like awards, billboards, and the frivolous things
I'd rather just spend time givin' Him praise, givin' Him glory
He the highest, I'm a passenger, and He the pilot
You said if I seek, then I'm gon' find it
Study how you speak, and keep alignment
Every day struggle, people dyin', so many wars, people cryin'
Lord, we need You more, can You refine it?
Father, You the author, You designed it, yeah, yeah
Father, You the author, You designed it, yeah, yeah
And if the shoe fits, wear it, and if the shoe fits, wear it
I went from a child to a husband to a parent, yeah, mm
If the truth sets us free, I'ma air it
Ayy, 2000, E-S-T
That's that O-C-O-E-E
Yeah
Every verse is tellin' me to watch who I'm hangin' 'round
No names mentioned, like a case with a missin' file
Even see myself when I read it and break it down
I tried to save 'em from theyself, they ain't wanna be saved
I had to realize some people don't wanna change
It's like I'm tryna hit the gas and they hittin' the brake
