Lyrics
[Intro]
My life be like ooh ahh, ooh (Yeah)
My life be like ooh ahh, ooh ahh, ooh (Yeah)
Ooh ahh, ooh (Yeah)
My life be like ooh ahh, ooh ahh, ooh (Yeah)
My life be like
[Chorus]
It's times like these that make me say (Ooh ahh)
Lord, if you see me, please come my way (Ooh)
Leavin' bread crumbs for when I stray (Like ooh ahh, ooh ahh)
Rely on sacrifice and the price You paid (Ooh)
Feel me like a fingertip (Ooh ahh)
Sometimes I fall, I slip
My heartfelt desire be more like You (Ooh ahh)
Tryin' not to quench Your fire with the things I do (Ooh)
[Verse 1]
I'm on an island by my lonesome stranded
Low key and stayin' candid
Reflectin' on the things I try my hand at
Search for the equation to persuasions I'm used to
Findin' comfort in the zones of closet bones I get loose to
A mountainous Fontaine, spinnin' and monsoonin'
Grinnin', it's high octane, this flow's how I came
Rollin' down the hills 'cause life's a hassle
Encircled by my folly like a moat surround a castle, stay afloat
Catch a second wind, thin is the air I breathe
Teary-eyed, nose runnin', wipe the snot on my sleeve
I'm callin' on a Savior to be all that I need
Please forgive me, my behavior had me lost at light speed
[Chorus]
It's times like these that make me say (Ooh ahh)
Lord, if you see me, please come my way
Leavin' bread crumbs for when I stray (Like ooh ahh, ooh ahh)
Rely on sacrifice and the price You paid (Ooh)
Feel me like a fingertip (Ooh, ahh)
Sometimes I fall, I slip
My heartfelt desire be more like You (Ooh ahh, ooh, ahh)
Tryin' not to quench Your fire with the things I do (Ooh)
[Verse 2]
The fear of never fallin' in love
And the tears after losin' the feelings of what you thought love was
Like the dirt still up under the rug (My life be like)
Bad characteristics covered in Christ's blood
The joy of new birth and the pain of growin' up
The bliss between givin' my all and givin' up
The highs and lows, paths and roads I chose
In the cold I froze, tryin' to ease my woes
In this world of sin clothes too thin to mend
So to God I send words of help to win
In grumblings so deep, letters could never express
So the sounds of "ooh ahh" beneath my breath projects
[Chorus]
It's times like these that make me say (Ooh ahh)
Lord, if you see me please come my way
Leavin' bread crumbs for when I stray (Like ooh ahh, ooh ahh)
Rely on sacrifice and the price You paid (Ooh)
Feel me like a fingertip (Ooh ahh)
Sometimes I fall, I slip
My heartfelt desire be more like You (Ooh ahh, ooh ahh)
Tryin' not to quench Your fire with the things I do (Ooh)
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
My life be like ooh ahh, ooh, dum-dum-diddy
Here come that boy from the Capitol City
Last up on the Grits' new ditty
But eight bars of the truth will do, uh
I believe there's a bride that's stunnin'
And I believe in the kingdom comin'
I believe if you seek the truth
You don't need to look far 'cause it's gonna find you
So why, oh, why do I trip and stumble?
And ooh ahh as commitment crumbles
I can't believe that I'm here again, again, again
My life be like
[Chorus]
It's times like these that make me say (Ooh ahh)
Lord, if you see me, please come my way (Ooh)
Leavin' bread crumbs for when I stray (Like ooh ahh, ooh ahh)
Rely on sacrifice and the price You paid (Ooh)
Feel me like a fingertip (Ooh ahh)
Sometimes I fall, I slip
My heartfelt desire be more like You (Ooh ahh, ooh, ahh)
Tryin' not to quench Your fire with the things I do (Ooh)
[Chorus]
It's times like these that make me say (Ooh ahh)
Lord, if you see me, please come my way
Leavin' bread crumbs for when I stray (Like ooh ahh, ooh ahh)
Rely on sacrifice and the price You paid (Ooh)
Feel me like a fingertip (Ooh ahh)
Sometimes I fall, I slip
My heartfelt desire be more like You (Ooh ahh, ooh ahh)
Tryin' not to quench Your fire with the things I do (Ooh)
My life be like
[Outro]
Flow fingertip, flow fingertip
Flow fingertip, flow fingertip (My life be like)
Flow fingertip, flow fingertip
Flow fingertip, flow fingertip (My life be like)
Flow fingertip, flow fingertip
Flow fingertip, flow fingertip (My life be like)
Flow fingertip, flow fingertip
Flow fingertip, flow fingertip (My life be like)
