Poetic Lace - Unconcealed (feat. Nova)

I'm looking for the right direction

Poetically I'm trapped in an enigma
I'm drunk in my mind but this ain't coming from no liquor
Intoxicating thoughts got me stuck in memories
Reminiscing on the pain from childhood catastrophes
I saw my best friend molest my best friend
Now the question
Why is Lace stressing
I'm only eight giving Grand ma diabetes shots every single day
Grand pa needs my help I can't play today
I got to change these diapers
I got to give them they food
My child is gone so depression is my mood
I wish I had a dad to protect me from this rain
But farewell I hear suicide calling my name
I took a blade
I put it deep in my chest
I felt a lot of pain but it didn't give me rest
It led me to my knees
I'm begging the Lord please
Just save me
He saved me
He heard me when I said

I'm looking for the right direction
I'm searching for the road to salvation
Lord So that I may fly away
I'm looking for the right direction
I'm searching for the road to salvation
Lord So that I may fly away

Unconcealed no longer hiding the truth
I use to be ashamed of having these crooked teeth
I use to be ashamed of being skinny and poor
My mama said she love me but honestly I needed more
I hated seeing mirrors because of my forehead
Being insecure just kept my soul dead
I'm so shy, hoping they don't even realize
The flaws on my face cause they'll make my heart cry
I was homeless, sick
Horrified by this flick
Accused of attempted murder made me lose a scholarship
I tried selling drugs but it left me hopeless
My brother's doing time so it left me bro-less
But God, He changed my whole life
The power of His Spirit gave me strength to live twice
The one they canceled out is alive and doing well
I own my own business cause God heard me when I said

I'm looking for the right direction
I'm searching for the road to salvation
Lord So that I may fly away
I'm looking for the right direction
I'm searching for the road to salvation
Lord So that I may fly away

Thank You God
I never would have made it
I'm looking back at the times and saying I wouldn't change em'
The good
The bad
The happy
The sad
Every single moment has brought me to where I am
So I lift my hands
And I raise my voice
And I praise the Lord
Cause its all from choice
You're the Alpha Omega Jehovah Jireh
My Daddy my Keeper Jesus Provider
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I shall fear no evil for Your Spirit is with me
And if Your wrath against me
Then please forgive me
I hate to sin against the one that can heal me
Cause You are God
The only one that's true
I proudly tell my peers that they need to cling to You
God so loved the world He gave His only Son
So we can have eternal life with Him
Now say it with me

I'm looking for the right direction
I'm searching for the road to salvation
Lord So that I may fly away
I'm looking for the right direction
I'm searching for the road to salvation
Lord So that I may fly away
