Redemption

History repeats but made mine an exception

Couldn't go back I just needed redemption

Gave you my heart, I gave it all in

Lord have mercy you know of all of my sins

Had a heart but I broke mine in half

I gave you a part and I kept the other half

Lately when I go to sleep I can never feel rest

Guess some are so poor money is all that they have

There's something so addictive about all of these things

I'm tryna get sober from all of these pains

There's a higher power watching, I can feel it over me

Yeah If I got you, then they got nothing on me

Cause Lord I know

I know you always listen

Things will be better God willing

High hopes, high ambitions

Lord forgive me for what I've become

I'm not proud of it all

I'm ashamed of it all

I'm ashamed of it all

I got beads in my hand and faith in my heart

I'm making little changes with every salawat

I'm thankful for this chance to get up and restart

The graves are silent but they really say a lot

There's more on the line with every word I say

I send a message off and it forever replays

The devil's working overtime to get me off my lane

Sought refuge in Allah now he's out of my way

I was given a book it's been sitting on my shelf

I've been busy in my life, I've been busy with myself

Can't get caught up in this world, asking God for some help

Forehead on the floor, forgot how it felt

Forgot how it felt

Forgot how it felt

Mmmm

Cause Lord I know

I know you always listen

Things will be better God willing

High hopes, high ambitions

Lord forgive me for what I've become

I'm not proud of it all

I'm ashamed of it all

I'm ashamed of it all
