Im writing wrongs while im writing songs
And im working through the pain
I promise once i get my chance
Things will never be the same
Ive made mistakes and lost some friends
But thats life and ive lived the only thing
I cant live without is liz and my seven kids
Eviction notice on my door man ive been here before
Light bill past due where that money come from i dont know
Cant even tell i be stressing put on one hell of a show
But where that money coming from i really dont know
Id give my whole heart and soul plus a little bit more
Lord knows id die for them all before id ever let go
But where that money coming from man i really dont know
But i refuse to hit a lick or pick up bricks to hustle
Selling out my family name for a little bit of change
For some stranger to know my name
But they aint sharing in my pain
Tell me is it worth my soul if the world is to gain
And if i make the wrong choice tell me who is to blame

This life is fickle but we all got a choice
We all got a voice make a stand
Be a man have a plan for your fam
They need you man they really need you
Fickle but we all got a choice
We all got a voice make a stand
Be a man have a plan for your fam
They need you man they really need you

Theres just some things i could never take back i mean
Times a thing you never have back yeah
Situations ive been in where you could never look back
Ski masks and bats all for a little crack
How dumb does that sound my daughter her mother
I was nowhere to be found i was tweaking and geeking
I couldve caught a round if i didnt get around
So i really got around and im telling you now
That ive really been found i really been found yeah
You hear this sound you feel this now
My father came down he picked me up and he pulled me out
So without a doubt you know hes real
So heres the real you see me begging and pleading
I was dripping and bleeding had no purpose or reason
But what your hearing and what youre seeing
I got a voice i got a choice i got a father
He told me go and be a father heres your daughter
For him i stand he took the boy and made me a man
And im following his plan i love you fam

But we all got a choice
We all got a voice make a stand
Be a man have a plan for your fam
They need you man they really need you
Fickle but we all got a choice
We all got a voice make a stand
Be a man have a plan for your fam
They need you man they really need you

I grew up broke and my excuses arent going to change what it is
I said i do too many times divorces hurt all my kids
What i didnt know is that they were watching when i did what i did
It really hurts to see them struggle when i found out a fix
We were born into this sin we didnt know about hope
I tried to reach out tried to teach them about the path they should go
They shut me out like i did mom it was a punch to my throat
The Bible is true dont be deceived a man will reap what he sows
So ive been leaning on the lord oh my lord i feel im drowning
Need your love to touch me change up my surroundings
A second chance and some brand new eyes
Clear my thinking sin is creeping in my brand new life
Its not easy theres no fronting man my hood need some hope
Weve been living in this curse too long its time to go
Time to step out on the water so im leaving the boat
And im stepping out of comfort time to stop being broke
This life is fickle

But we all got a choice
We all got a voice make a stand
Be a man have a plan for your fam
They need you man they really need you
Fickle but we all got a choice
We all got a voice make a stand
Be a man have a plan for your fam
They need you man they really need you
