Toke Wright - Scorpions

This is my life not just something I write
I've been working on this since two thousand eleven
Released my first song in two thousand and ten
Got saved two thousand and twelve
I've been through hell
Not all these songs are gonna be perfect
Some of the songs, they might make you nervous
Might seem wrong, but it's not for the churches
Waiting for the verdict as you overlook the purpose
This for the people that yell
Cause they can't figure out what to do with their life
I don't want to get ahead of myself
But on this journey there's been many times that I failed
There was many times I was feeling alone
Sitting at home sipping Patron
I would sit on my thoughts and just zone as my mind roam
Depressed, I would feel like I'm all gone
As I see people smiling I'm thinking of dying
Throwing my hands to the sky and I'm crying
Screaming out why am I here
I'm not gonna sugarcoat it
I'm not gonna water it down
I was living with sorrow
With fear of tomorrow
I thought I might drown
Suicide on my brain with drugs in my veins
How do I cope with the pain
Yeah, how do I cope with the pain
I felt like when people looked into my eyes
They could see all of my sin
So how could I live for a God
How could I even pretend
And you could smell the weed up on me
As soon as I enter into the room
Teachers asking what is happening
Knowing my life is filled and consumed
With drugs and thugs
Forget about getting a buzz
I would just shrug it off
Lost, not knowing the cost
Anger just filling me up
One little thing I go off
I couldn't even smile
I promise I didn't know how
So this is the journey
Turning from what I was then to who I am now
And I can't say I'm perfect
No, not even close
But through this life I've gained a new hope
Still struggle a lot, but God fix what is broke
And He still loved me at the end of my rope
You don't have to be good to follow Jesus
That's a perception the world made
He takes all of your broken pieces
And loves you regardless
You heard me
And you can be whole
You're not alone
The snakes and the scorpions have no control
You have authority to overcome the battle of life
When habits are sliced
Confess them to God
I know that it's odd, but what can you lose
You may have worries
Feeling bruised and confused
This life isn't easy
I'm speaking with truth
Welcome to the struggle of seeking the proof
But with the doubt I'm throwing the deuce
My faith building up
No ceiling, no roof
I know that you're real and I'm trusting in you
Who
Wait, no
I got rid of you
Get away from me
Stop
Oh, God
Help me
I need you
Stop it
