[Interlude: John Givez]
Listen to my soul cry
Listen to my soul cry
[Intro: Brvndon P]
I been feeling like a bullets at my throat
Trying to take life up out of me
There's a battle going on
It's deep inside I admit, yeah I'm struggling
It's true I'm just a man, doing what I can
But I guess we learn along the way
My heart is torn apart, it wasn't like this from the start
I pray I see another day
[Verse 1: Brvndon P]
I've been wrestling with my mind and the words to say
I question who I am and do I have the faith
I'm on this crooked path I need to make it straight
But reality, it always seems to tempt faith
Six girls texting me, all of them want to be next to me
I know I shouldn't but I want to, can you relate to me
I want to do it, I want to touch it, I want to go and find it
"No I don't", "yes you do", it's a struggle inside me
I want to talk to somebody without them judging me
Help me out, don't look at BK look at BrvndonP
It's a long walk in this valley of death
I need your strength to prepare me for whatever's next
[Chorus: John Givez]
Mama never warned me about these things
Papa always told me I'm gon' need faith
And it's a war out there for my soul
I said it's a war out there for my soul
Listen to my soul cry
[Bridge: BrvndonP]
All I really wanted was to be a grown up
Sitting back in that lac' with that money rolled up
Playing myself, idolizing something else
I can gain the whole world but then my soul would need help
My money getting lower, temptation getting stronger
My faith is getting tested cause these tests are getting longer
I'm right here, can you see me
[Verse 2: BrvndonP]
But I don't really think you see, but can you hear me
And do really know me
Time after time I messed up but you still love me, why
Am I so attracted to what's bad for me
Out with this cornered heart and replace with your spirit
Eyes closed praying that this would just be over
And I get closer to know who I am and what's my purpose
This world's the coldest, cooler than the AC and the fan with the blower
Please take this boulder off my shoulder
Cause you said that you got me, you will never forsake me
Tell me why right now I feel like I'm alone in this valley
Lord I can solve all my problems at your feet
Cause that's the only way I'll be free
[Chorus: John Givez]
Mama never warned me about these things
Papa always told me I'm gon' need faith
And it's a war out there for my soul
I said it's a war out there for my soul
Listen to my soul cry
[Bridge: John Givez]
There'll be crying in the night
Oh but joy comes in the morning
There'll be crying in the night
Oh but joy comes in the morning
There'll be crying in the night
Oh but joy comes in the morning
There'll be crying in the night
Oh but joy comes in the morning
There'll be crying in the night
Oh but joy comes in the morning
[Chorus: John Givez]
Mama never warned me about these things
Papa always told me I'm gon' need faith
And it's a war out there for my soul
I said it's a war out there for my soul
Listen to my soul cry
