Intro (spoken)

Yeah, let me do some soul searching.

Yeah.

Verse 1

Our Father, you mind if I take a few moments

and thank you for the time that you helped me stay focused.

Not been talking to you as much you noticed,

but still walk with you until my feet swollen.

You know me. I'm outspoken, hard headed.

Never bite my tongue, for no one.

that's a gift, I try to look further to question a question

hold an opinion, not an answer.

As for church, attendance gets lower,

I find a mixed message when alone... I'm closer.

Hate the cult thing you must do as you see.

No offense to them, but it's just not me.

This is me. Only me can change me,

upon delivery is how you made me.

proud of the second name that you gave me.

Loving parents that raised me, siblings that embrace me,

learn that love is the only thing that drives me,

feeds so nicely,..... keeps a positive eye v,

try not to be led by the franchise of greed.

Money it spreads. Money a human disease.

Money. I need now. How ironic is that

I can't survive without it. I need it in mass.

I'm confused here. Please tell me the math

I'm not the perfect man by definition. What's that?

Chorus x2

i'm only trying to do the best i can,

so show me, show me, make me understand

cause i'm me, and i'll be, can only be me

walk with me make me seeeee

i'm only trying to do the best i can,

so show me, show me, make me understand

cause i'm me, and i'll be, can only be me

walk with me make me seeeee

Verse 2

I think and ponder with madness that happens today,

how the Bible is the only thing that teaches you ways

one question. So everything we see you create,

but others want to debate.

So you only speak through a book. I don't buy that

because it's always the case.

My environment guide me more than a pastor can say.

I speak to the Father, conversate, but never pray

you love all. So why would I be on my knees like a slave,

dry skin, tatter, torn and grazed,

image of oneself. You share my agony on my face.

.....Don't get it twisted. I've been through pain.

I learned most of my lessons through that pain.

I know that pain, but take it. It's here to stay.

The world would die if it never had that rain

cause me, it taught to swim, prepare and maintain

I keep my head above before the Flood came.

(deep breath) I'm blessed to breathe the breath you gave

and don't waste oxygen to words to translate,

to words to stimulate, reach others. In mind state

to words that focus on the message. I commentate

image I can't replicate. It's yours. In fact

I stay wide awake. I keep my own intact,

strive my own way, but I found my facts.

I'm not the perfect man, but I'm at peace with that.

Bridge (female singer)

lift me up when the light gets low

help me find what I need to know

I’ve been running through the shadows slow

now I’m ready just to let it go

show me paths I ain’t seen before

open hearts like an open door

if I fall I’ll rise once more

walking with you, I’m aiming for more

Final Chorus x2

i'm only trying to do the best i can,

so show me, show me, make me understand

cause i'm me, and i'll be, can only be me

walk with me make me seeeee

i'm only trying to do the best i can,

so show me, show me, make me understand

cause i'm me, and i'll be, can only be me

walk with me make me seeeee
