G0nz0 - Hills and Valleys

Yeah, walking through valleys
How many lost count of my tallies
Tryna give praise to the Son, but I cannot see him while stuck in the alleys
Maybe I can but I've been hurt badly
I only praise him when I'm feeling happy
Maybe if I had just stuck to your word
I'd have more fire than forests in Cali
Have you ever met a good group of people that you thought you'd call your friends
Y'all having fun making plans the world eating out of the palm of your hand
Till all of a sudden they drop you with no explanation you alone again
Eight years of friendship man someone please tell me I don't understand
Walking through valleys. Walking through valleys, man
Walking through valleys. Walking through valleys
Man I can barely just see down the path
I keep on tripping on things of the past
Things that I'll never let go cause they left a hole that's really gon' last
Am I still worth it pouring my heart out in all of the churches
Just for those people to say I have purpose
How are those comments gon' help me in life if I don't believe I deserve it
Have you ever been sleeping and having some dreams while laying in bed at the crib
And your daddy come in and tell you say bye to your grandma she might not live
But she made it you try to go see her but now it turns out that you got the VID
And she ends up passing without a goodbye while you quarantine at the crib
Walking through valleys. Walking through valleys man
Walking through valleys. Walking through valleys
I do not mean to get negative but y'all are just hearing my life
I know I'm sounding repetitive but none of these valleys are light
Sometimes I wish I could find me a sedative numb all the pain of the night
But I'm refusing to die to this pain and if I do I'm going out with a fight
Send up a flare
Lord can you hear me I know that you're there
I have been stuck in this valley for years drowning in tears
It honestly feels like I never repair
All of the pain and all of the hurt that I have endured what was the point
Then he said "Son I think that it's time that you sat and quieted down all the noise"
Listen to me, listen your father been trying to speak
Tell me exactly where in my word it says that valleys ain't something you'll see
Said when you walk you won't fear the evil that's trying to keep you from getting your peace
Down in the valleys you still can be free, now take my hand there's something I want you to see
See man, the valleys are tough, but Imma teach y'all how to walk on the hills now. Ay let the drums drop
I said let me teach you bout the hills now
Yeah that feeling when you paid up all your bills now
When you making beats you know that got the ill sound
Got the faith that make both fathers feel proud
Yeah, it's a feeling that you've been waiting on. Ain't it rookie?
Y'all been playing hooky.
Skipping work then get mad you ain't get a cookie
Then when you get it it's a blessing that you never gon forget
God brought you to the top but there's a lot that you regret
Like making that decision or writing that description
Cause now your bars mad hot, boiling in the kitchen
But all them cold nights always got you reminiscing
Man, how far would I be if I just read my word and listened
But you gotta understand it's the valleys that build you
You wouldn't even be here if they hadn't killed you
Had to strip you of your pride, your arrogant ways
So you could fly on the hills not a bird in a cage
Yeah there's certain mistakes that turn your sorrow to strength
Turn your pain into joy. Fill your void with terrain
But that's a choice that you make to simply not be destroyed
By all of the labels that tend to make a lot of noise
Yeah, they tell you your purpose
Boy, you know you're worthless
Girl, you ain't pretty if you don't cake up all your surface with the makeup that you purchase
Tell me, is it worth it?
To spend all of your days listening to labels chirping?
I'm cutting it off along with Satan's cell phone
That's a double kill, two birds, one stone
Imma sling it like I'm David
All of my Goliaths gonna wish I wasn't praying
It's a new day, so stop stressing
Life that we live in is pretty short, but there's two important things that you better not ignore
As you go up, you gon' learn how to soar. But as you go down, man, you gon' learn a lot more
