Deep Thought
At the fork in the road, which direction to choose
As if it really fuckin’ matters, I was born to lose
More than blues, feels like, I’m trapped in darkness
The only light I see is from a BIC when I spark this
And the hardest thing about it is the times that I’m alone
Hit the streets on my own, kinda wanna go home
My minds in the zone, take a couple more hits
Think back to all the times that I just couldn’t commit
And all the times that I quit, guess this is what I get
And the more I think about it, the more I wanna spit
And the more that I spit, the more I wanna fly
And apply my talent, to take me to the sky
Ask me why, it ain’t too hard to see
I finally met God and now he walks with me
And talks with me, as we journey down the path
God plus me equals victory man, you do the math
Many a days, spent in Deep Thought
Reminiscing about, all the things that I’ve been taught
The console that I sought and the ass whoopin’s that I caught
But through it all I still stood there, fists up and fought
I ought to have given up, but that just ain’t me
From His teachin’s I have learned that happiness ain’t free
It takes hard work and passion, not lies or money
And from the direction I was headin’, that’s exactly what’s comin’ from me
And sunny, is how tomorrow is lookin’ from here
I pray to him every morning, to wipe away the tears
And sincere is the only way that I pray
Cause without an honest heart I’ll be seeing rainy days
And whatever he may say, I will be there to obey
I read* his book and a reflection of him I will portray
To this day, that’s how, I live my life
And with the Lord’s blessing I’ll survive another night
On two knees in my room, starin’ at the ceilin’
Tryin’ to clear my mind, digest all that I’ve been hearin’
And pearin’ through the window, I look to the stars
Clearin’ my conscience as I write these bars
Look at my scars, how much I’ve been through
Not physically but mentally, and I’ve still stayed true
I’ve paid my dues and stuck with you like glue
And through success, you have said thank you
I knew that you were always there for me to console
And since you really cared, I’m offering you my soul
Now my spirits full and I’m ready to rejoice
I’ll try to spread your word with the power of my voice
And the choice of right or wrong has become an easier one
I want to set an example cause one day I’ll have a son
And any dirt I’ve done it can never be undone
You’ve really touched me Lord, the change has begun
