Self-Control Lyrics

Kado, you way too dope, kid

Aye, Lord, it looks like I done did it again

I mean, I really thought I had this thing under control

But it seems like it's just taking over my life and I really need You, God

Please

Which direction should I go?

I've been saying yes when I need to say no

One minute I get it, and then it's gone

There's so many things that trigger my soul

Holy Spirit, come heal my soul

I really need self-control

Self-control

Self-control

God, I really need self-control

Here I go, on another trip again

Not a trip within the whip, a trip where I am without grip

I'm talking about the itch within

It's like a twitch that makes my will bend

I'm saying things that I don't really mean

Seem like it should be a simple feat

Just like the instruments on this simple beat

But it will never work together as long as sin's in me

Back and forth I go like a tug of war

Can't believe I still struggle behind shut doors

It's like I got this hunger for something more

I promise I really love the Lord

So how can I be the seed that took no root?

I've been sitting on this tree and ain't bare no fruit

How could lies still live in me like I don't know the truth?

I'm just saying it's time that I show some proof

Which direction should I go?

I've been saying yes when I need to say no

One minute I get it, and then it's gone

There's so many things that trigger my soul

Holy Spirit, come heal my soul

I really need self-control

Self-control

Self-control

God, I really need self-control

To take my hands off the wheel and surrender

Got to keep my eyes peeled on the treasure

I'm torn apart if You're not here in the center

Only those who do the will of God will live forever

Tell me, how could You stay on that cross?

My thoughts betray me and they stray off

Started when I took just a day off

If I wander too far, will I remain lost?

Like a disease, limiting my abilities

And hindering my liberty

It affects my inner peace

I grit my teeth to simply speak

I been the seed that took no root

Sitting on this tree and ain't bare no fruit

These lies need to die in me, so I can live in truth

I'm just saying it's time that I show some proof

Which direction should I go?

I've been saying yes when I need to say no

One minute I get it, and then it's gone

There's so many things that trigger my soul

Holy Spirit, come heal my soul

I really need self-control

Self-control

Self-control

God, I really need self-control
