Jacob Bell - Anxiety

I remember being 13 when my mama had anxiety
With the way we had been living we couldn't gain no notoriety
In society
It was violently
Gripping blocking locking all her self-esteem
But when I look back at you mama I'm so thankful you're redeemed
Remember grocery stores
Those were the worst yeah we hated it
Couldn't walk inside cuz of what no explain'n it
But the devil knew
Took a hold of both your shoes
You had to take 'em off and
Place them at the feet of Jesus' Holy Cross
The exhaust
Was unbearable at times
But the wisdom that we gained
I wouldn't trade it for a dime

If you're feeling ill equipped for the day
Remember that it's not too late to pray
Because of Christ anxiety won't stay
You've gotta take the plunge and start today
You've gotta take the plunge and start today
You've gotta take the...

I remember being 12 when my dada took four shots
With the trauma that it brought us I could barely think a thought
He was a cop
Laying down his life for those he didn't didn't know
But the aftermath of danger was an avalanche of snow
How could we grow
And learn to cope
With the actions of one man
It took us out the sun and put us in the frying pan
Testing our faith with the heat of deep anxiety
My feelings had to go I let the spirit live inside of me
It's a mental game when you're dealing with the devil and your doubts
Flex your faith and put that lying demon down for the count
Once you bend your knees the peace of Christ to come into your heart
Guarding you from evil as a shield blocks fiery darts

If you're feeling ill equipped for the day
Remember that it's not too late to pray
Because of Christ anxiety won't stay
You've gotta take the plunge and start today
You've gotta take the plunge and start today
You've gotta take the...

Back in my younger days little me could brush off all the pain
Back in the hunger games all my minor problems I could slay
Now that I'm older how
Could I see the challenge as opportunity
All I see is stress
Change the lens
Fix the focus here and show me what to do in the disunity
The will of mind and body have been splitting right through in me
Exploding all my feelings and emotions into actions
Actions I don't want to take
Taking me away from what I love
I need some help from above!
My skin is feeling foreign
I can't get away
Oh please oh stop today
My life is being changed
Not for the better but for the worse
Please make a change
Oh Lord please have your way
