I Stand Corrected Lyrics

The goal is growth

Admittedly my pride

Won't let me concede without a fight

It's only cause I know the ropes

Naturally I'm comfy

With my back against them

Blow for blow

To have you winning

Only makes me hungrier

To close the show

Not that I come with bad intentions

But I own it though

I'm no longer apprehensive

Tryna control The Hulk

Being this vulnerable

For better or worse

Is why judgment will not affect me

If we ever converse

I get the why it's

It's just the way we're living

It's a given

It's why I grew up

Refusing to step in the church

Would criticize it

For all the committed inside it

Criticizing

Not only was I

A hypocrite I accepted the perks

Gladly

Anytime a blessing would work

Was switching sides and

The minute I'd get

Pressed with a verse

Would get defiant

Especially if the lesson would hurt

Couldn't admit it I

Instead would rather

Question its worth

Took some time to sit in private

Came to the realization

I'm taking the most blatant

Example of negativity and

Calling it justification

For my hatred

All cause I couldn't

Deal with my spirit aching

I stand corrected

Music's always been my therapy

Never thought I actually needed it

Told them

It's just passion I'm speaking with

When my anger got the best of me

I'd effectively

Invalidate my argument

Just cause I had to be screaming it

Lord

I'm a bully

Riddled with guilt it's hard

Not to inflict

When I'm struggling

With how to deal with scars

All these wounds

The pain I'm in

No matter the light

That I try to paint it in

Soon as I send the payment in

I'm seen

The beautiful wedding

That has an asterisk

Due to the few who ain't attend

The fact that soon as I leave a session

Expressing myself

Immediately goes back

To not feeling safe again

So I gotta be brave but then

Nobody ever taught me how

And so I break again

Cause even when I'm staying in

I gotta wake up in

Despair

They took out Takeoff

And I don't know how to take it in

Cause I feel like

It's wrong for me to care

For a lot of reasons

Another 14 shot in the same day

In the Chi

In a drive-by

And I barely stopped to grieve them

Just for example

What that say about me

That I'm easily distracted

Selectively impacted

Not actually saddened

Only acting

Maybe there's some compassion

But maybe I'm only half in

Maybe I'm just tired of having

To see it happen

And by the time it's reported

I've aborted

Speaking of

Nah we'll save it

For another conversation

There's so much to say and

There ain't enough time

I wonder

How my therapist gon weigh in

That's new

I guess I'm really changing

I stand corrected
