Lord Knows

Lord knows I've tried to be good
But I know that ain't enough
What is enough is that you gave your blood
For all my brokenness you paid the cost
Lord knows I've tried to be good
But I know that ain't enough
What is enough is that you gave your blood
For all my brokenness you paid the cost

Crossing cities search of his own serenity
man and his dreams of success and a big ol money trees
been dreaming about how to make it out here,
Ruthless pursuits to prove he a man without fear

Flippin dimes and dubs since he was teen
Acting tough fighting to be loved heard and seen
You could look him in the eye and see
His young innocent mind lost corrupted and deceived

Ask him what he wants to be,or what's he believes
He begins to stutter, don't know how to answer,
Yes he's clenched in the lions jaw
As her sets forward in search of his destiny

He Don't know at all, trap laid before to expect his fall
No looking back there is no returning at all
Not looking back, hit voicemail, no answer to the call
And what should the man be expecting

Walking like a blind man feeling like Matt Murdock
Leaving a cold trail of bodies outlined with white chalk

This some conscious stuff,
know I'm getting deep
But whatever man, I'm deep,

God gave us a deep soul, but we lost sheep
Sheep without a Shepard, wither away like a leper
Ours heart is just craving for attention
A little love and acceptance
I'm praying to the Lord I'm stressing
please rain down on me with all your good blessings

Lord knows I've tried to be good
But I know that ain't enough
What is enough is that you gave your blood
For all my brokenness you paid the cost
Lord knows I've tried to be good
But I know that ain't enough
What is enough is that you gave your blood
For all my brokenness you paid the cost

Back in the day I was living a pretender
Back in the day when all I could afford was a dollar burger
Back in the day when all I did was smoke weed and chill
Back in the day when all that mattered was getting it in with some girl

Man those were the days I keep thinking back to
Cuz I look at my life compared to now, man I was such a fool
Rolling rolling the dice on this precious thing called life
Taking for granted the one who gave me this soul alive

But are we so alive? Am I so alive?
Looking at the mirror at my blood shot eyes
And I'm seeing all of these masks, this disguise
And I'll ask myself why do I continue to hide?

Cuz Lords know he want you to come to the light
Especially when you know you ain't feeling alright
Because ain't nobody right in their mind today
Ain't we all either the wolves, lost sheep, shepard and prey
