The Sand

Hey Madea
I could really use your courage right now
Been reaching out my ears to heaven
Could use your words right now
Look I've been trying to talk to god but I don't think he hear me
And I've tried talking my friends but they don't hear me clearly
This may be to strange to ask but
I could use some advice
I'm not sure if you've noticed
But I've been stressing bout my life
Past few years or so
I just been losing track of my identity
This my be hard to tell
Cuz I embodied the character so well
But I'm not the man that I pretend to be
I'm covered in lies
In the form of flies
And they won't get off of me
I'm not what everybody thought of me
Madea I'm not sure who I am now
I don't know what makes me special
And I don't know what makes me
stand out
I feel helpless
People tell me be myself
But I don't know who myself is

Hey Auntie Sandra
How ya been
Been reaching out my arm to heaven
I could use a hand
To get me out this sand
That I've been drowning in
The sins keep piling in
I just been Swimming in
All my sorrows and emotions
My past is chocking me
My regrets coming back and haunting me
Reminding me there's something wrong with me
Lately I just been hurting
And Auntie I could use your hand
To help me guide my way to the surface
Cause without it I'll increase the distance
I really need your assistance
Everyone else I've alerted won't listen
I wish they paid more attention
To the cry for helps that I've been giving
Or the things that I'd always mention
But nobody's ever there to answer the phone
Now I'm on my own
All alone
Buried in my sins

Hey there baby
Wow It's been a while
Since I've last words from my second oldest grandchild
Now I got your message saying
That you needed some advice
It was something along of the lines of you
Stressing bout your life
Or at least in regards to the fact that
You don't know who you are
And we'll I've known you since a baby
So let me think where I should start
Breon you are someone who can lighten
Anyones mood on any giving day
You are special in your own way
Don't think about what other children say
Cuz you always got a smile on yo ur face
No matter what you been going thru
And you always there to help someone in need
Even if they don't notice that you
Going thru those issues too
And that's the thing that's been killing
Don't alter the person you are just so
You can please someone else
Cuz the person your should be aiming to please
Is to please yourself

Hey there nephew
I'm glad I get the chance to speak to you
I got a question
Why do you keep letting your
conscience eat at you
Breon listen to me
I've been watching you from the clouds
I know how bad it's been getting
Nephew I think you really need to stop reflecting on your past decisions
Cuz those regrets you made are set in stone
With no way that you could fix it
And there's a future that your missing
Full of success
But you too busy thinking
About all your regrets
Stop reflecting on your sins
go ahead and stop looking back
And start looking forward while you can
I want you start the plan to be
That boy turned to a teen turned that to done turned into man
And as a soon as you get a chance
Look up and take a glance
Here's my hand
Get up out that sand
