the midpoint Lyrics

You can make it about all those abilities and all those skills

You nah mean, I used to be terrified to do announcements

I used to be terrified to do "midpoint" at my church

"Oh, imma eff up announcements, imma forget a slide, imma forget a word, imma forget a detail

Why are they making me do this?

I frickin hate that they're putting me thru this, this sh*t sucks..."

And now... when I'm behind a mic

That's a midpoint moment

Yeah

Kenny dropped

So I had to rap

Ready Player One

Catch a lick and thumb almanac

When I sing & hum

Wonder if I'll bring some magic back

Pull a rabbit outta hat

Grabbed gas at the Racetrac

This 40 getting cracked

Some mistakes, you can't erase that

I feel the full effect

Even my dawgs had to taste that

What's plated is a test

Forked spaghetti

Us spinning back now could make a mess

So duress, we call friend

And it marks us like an (ex) X

Whole time, I hear God saying

"You should treasure Chess"

What's the point in being self when superficial will connect?

What's the point in flaunting wealth?

I rather hide the fact I'm blessed

Wait a sec… uh

Learned this all before

Up in Pardington, the 3rd floor

And at 12, they had locked the door

But at 2, I spoke with the Lord

Poured heart in 36

Now I'm 29 with a kid

And my family is what's in session

Exploring a true amor

Time's filled with the same feel

Smoother than valour

Milk spilled, but I stayed chill

Stopped to mop the floor

Life's hard when you ain't real

Makes a rotten core

Won't doubt when the Lord calls

I promise you, I'm sure

God said that ain't enough

I poured more, straightened up

I was "Sitting Sidewayz" like Paul Wall

What a bluff

Talk's cheap if the walk ain't equal

The down times turned to up lyft; a called vehicle

Lead me to green pastures

Even if it's lethal

Shoot, even if the road's lethal

Pop, lemme tell you something you already know

The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows

It's only lethal

If you have a fear of being see-through

Tryna talk as true thru the prose as to people

It's heartbreaking being who you are

and tryna meet dudes

I'm standing right here

What you mean "I didn't see you"

Flesh deceitful

Yet, Jesus sat at its table and washed a few feet, too

Who cares if I could rap and use that to punch demons teeth loose?

I tried to hide the art in my pocket

It ripped the seams, dude

I've learned to study more if it's seems true

I mean, that's critical thinking

Funny how the act of deeper thought's so critical

Thanking God

He enrolled me in curriculum

GOAT in the making

Whether you know it or not

Road's filled with some potholes

But I'm made holy through surrendering plot

And letting go what I got

And clearing out what's gon' rot

These cold days are gon' make it hot

Old days are not the old self

The new can make it pop

Old cats have taught your boy a lot

Like why I have to stop

Waiting for a placement

Place this weight down like a rock

Yeah

You nah mean

Now when it's time to show up and be

Say something in front of a group people I'm leading

Or just my family

My daughter with her big personality

I'm pulling on and using muscles that were grown in those moments, 100%

So it's like I recognize God's grace in that

And that helps me have confidence in Him
