Overcome Lyrics

I had a music plan and it

Never had a sad lyric

I was the hero and the man wearing

That cape but now I can't bear it

If the shoe fits I can wear it

But to be real I lack merit

I stand sharing, bearing my soul right now

Can I be transparent?

He's up on my back carrying

All of my past errors

Though I notice him I'm still back starin'

As he's dangling this fat carrot

Why do I stand near it?

Falling got me mad swearing

I hear it, evil bird repeating lies

Like this **** parrot

"This woman's so pretty, you want to view her,

See how she smiles when you're talking to her

It's flirting, why not pursue her?

Been single so long you can not endure

Plus she's probably a lot like you are

Remember your past? You're not so pure

Acting holy like you're all mature

It's natural that you are all into her"

My thoughts getting caught

I cannot deny there's a strong allure

But I got to be cautious and know

There's a cost to unlock that door

I could start something like an entrepreneur

Except, the offer, it's not secure

Many talk, there's a faithful flock that is fewer

Realize there's a hook- get my eyes off of the lure

Come over

Come on over

I know you're done!

Come over

Come over

Lord, help me overcome

I've been living in a foreign land

Been feeling a little lonely, man

I know God's there tryna hold my hand

But holding a woman's is more my plan

We were on the beach with our toes in sand

Looked down, will this base below me stand?

I remember reading how Joseph ran

Yet here I am 'bout to trade gold for scams

Now I need self control

Prayer or something just to help my soul

Had the ball, I was about to go

But saw cheerleaders and forgot the goal

I admit I need help my bro

Seeds I water will sprout and grow

It's not what she's wearing, now I know

My own heart led me down this hole

If I blame God, I'm just mad at the ref

I fouled and He's just after my best

I gotta control this passion for sex

If it's not right now it has to be left

Pretty flowers, but the path is to death

Learning from others who passed through the steps

I find my weapon is being content

So I nourish my Spirit, stop feeding my flesh

Come over

Come on over

I know you're done!

Come over

Come over

Lord help me overcome

We all looking cool, with our friends

Out at the church or the park and it's noon

We often assume but you don't know what goes on

When it's midnight and it's dark in the room

We all would be moved if we knew each secret

Of every person we thought that we knew

Cancer's inside and it starts to consume

Long before its death is all in your view

And this is true: you're a part of the problem

If you think that I ain't talking to you

I'm talking to me and I'm talking to whoever

Wants to be honest and start this anew

Soon ain't soon enough, Lord clean me up

I surrender, take a mop and a broom

Take a glock and just kill anything dark in my heart

From the root we cannot let it bloom

Get me off of the fence, stop my pretense

Because if I'm caught and confess

I'm not convinced do I want to repent

Or just avoid a consequence?

Caught in a web, lost in a mess

Lies and the stress from lots of secrets

I've chosen fake peace and my want to impress

Traded away trust and confidence

It's time to wake up! This is not making sense

Losing loved ones to my selfishness

It's not myself who I'm called to protect

Waving my flag, I drop my defense

Full of weakness, we all gotta get

Over ourselves there is light to reflect

But first we gotta let all the secrets die

May God be more and I be less
