5:16 - Deep Breath

Yeah, Faith is being sure what ya hope for and certain of what you don't see
Success never came without failed attempts!
I take a deep breath in and let it out real slow (Yeah)
The next decision I make determines how my life's gonna go (Go)
I've been up for days thinking of ways to get myself out of this game (Game)
But every time I ended up high putting myself closer to the grave
Stressing my dad to the max he feared that call on the phone (Phone)
Saying his son just died and I would never come home (Yeah)
My closets full of bones I wrote this song to air them out
God change my heart so it's is truth that I can't live without
These were the thoughts of a man with a broken mind (Mind)
Who lost his self along the way so Christ he tries to find (Yeah)
There's no clock in the world to give him back the time
Or change the many insecurities that he feels inside (Yeah)
Control issues and I know that my patience is
Running out like I did in my relationships
I was a lone wolf with a cold heart but I loved my kids (Kids)
A short fuse but couldn't stand my aggressiveness
This life is hard without God this world can crumble you
My vision was never prison listen his name will humble you (Humble you yeah)
How would you feel if you never understood your life (Life)
And things that happen in the past they keep you up at night
Normal response to these things is either fight or flight
Battlefield of the mind when you rest your head at night (Rest ya head)
You shouldn't give advice if you can't take your own homie (Yeah)
Yeah I refuse to let this unhumble pride own me
If I could shine a beam of light in the darkest of times
To pick you up tell you I love you man that can save lives
Tell you that I understand cause I've been at the bottom
I've been served lies and dope you best believe that I bought em (I bought them man)
Covered emotions with the drugs I wore a mask in the past (Yeah)
Back then I never had no chance my morals parked in the back
I had extensive oppositions in this drug coalition
Lived off conditions and commissions in the street proposition (Yeah)
Stole from my family and my friends lost some years with my kids
Being high is the only way that I thought I could live (That's what I thought man)
I've been through trials and tribulations and I'm still standing
God picked me up so I will never question where I'm landing
(Yeah) Looking around and I'm surrounded by the same things (Ugh)
Contemplating situations that go through my brain (My brain)
It took a long time to get over the past pain
That I used to mask with a needle digging in my veins (Veins)
Being numb is what I chased and that feeling is (Yeah)
Worse than the feeling of being addicted in
The drug game one in the same trying to make up this name
Because it seems my whole life is only filled with shame
I've been a thug, been an attic, even been to prison
But I refuse to let my past me from his mission (Yeah)
I had to walk by faith and God gave me a vision (Yeah)
See he's the only one that heard me when nobody listened
