The Painter Tony - A Tough Read for Most

Crying tears like Lord lift my soul up
Sad days showed up I was like sho nuff
Lift my soul up
Crying tears like Lord lift my soul up
Sad days showed up I was like sho nuff
Sho nuff sho nuff
Crying loud in the country tore my shirt up
Winds beating on my body I just worship

Before I dozed off and slept a many nights
I remember crying Lord take my life
While my bed empty my daughter out of sight
While looking at the wicked prosper
And they ain't living right
I know nighas that never took care of their kids yea
And I ain't talkin bout just no money yea
I know boys that bumped their gums but never lived that yea
I know a woman that called me weak can't comprehend strength yea
I long suffer long long like my brushes length bars
Step to my canvas baby I can paint a simp super facts
I go crazy on these beats but I stay low low low low low
I saw what fame and money did to some people
Lost their soul soul but mine still glow

Crying tears like Lord lift my soul up
Sad days showed up I was like sho nuff
Sho nuff sho nuff
Crying loud in the country tore my shirt up
Tore my shirt up like Job
Winds beating on my body I just worship

People try to hide what they did to me
Like the Lord not bout to show me in my dreams
I'm like a living walking talking test strip
Put me anywhere I'll tell you if that's pure
When you touched as a kid and they sponsor all them vids
I can show y'all just how perversion slid
When I look at my life and I look at other men
I can tell y'all who ain't close their eyelids
I had too many opportunities to steal and kill
But that ain't how my momma raised me that ain't how I live
I went to war with demons while they shopped at Neiman
I'm tall in the spirit realm my enemies beneath me
And they can't defeat me so they can't beat me
They cannot censor real content they can't beep me
God made only one me so they can't be me
Why would they wanna be me anyway I took so many beatings
This take real love this take real strength
Anybody tryna touch me hehe they got me bent
I keep my head in my yard no over neighbors fence
Boys envious and jealous for what they ain't get
I walk around and feel the vibes I got discernment
And when demons speak through other people I discern it
It's natural like my hair ain't no perm here
And I don't fear nann tier God overturn tiers

Things go on a lot that I can't comprehend
Where I have to rely and lean on God
Again and again like biblical characters
And it always ends with Thy will be done
Every time every time
