Lyrics
Yeah
It's been a long road
So long, so long yeah
Yo, Shayne, talk to them
I been on the grind too long
Tryna make it on my own
Now I gotta right these wrongs
Tryna find my way home, yeah
I been on the grind too long
Tryna make it on my own
Now I gotta right these wrongs
Tryna find my way home, yeah
Yeah
Look
I'm tryna right my wrongs
Funny these same wrongs help me write the song, ye
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow
I'm pulled the broad way
But the road I want is narrow
Uh
That's word to Sean Slaughter
I'm on the righteous path, trynna stay up out the blotter
I ain't gotta curse on my verse to sound hard
I live my life free
While standing behind bars
While you worry bout the goat debate
And who blew the spot
I'm a native Floridian
So tell me who's really hot, huh?
One bae, one baptism
I got one life and
One practicum
Yeah, and that's a lifetime
That's why I write rhymes
So you can find new life inside of these lines
If you can read signs
Get up out the confines and realize
True life lies within the Son's vine
I been on the grind too long
Tryna make it on my own
Now I gotta right these wrongs
Tryna find my way home, yeah
I been on the grind too long
Tryna make it on my own
Now I gotta right these wrongs
Tryna find my way home, yeah
I understand that
Everyday's a grind
Battle of the mind
Runnin' out of time
But if I seek then I'ma find
The peace that passes all yo
I can't understand it
The hand that holds me
Same one that flung the planets
And hung them in they space
Put them in they place
Same hand gives mercy and amazing grace
But if I'm being honest
Ministry's a grind
But the good kind
That points to God's design
It wants to lift to up
It wants to pull you in
It wants to bring you home
So that you not alone
So if your minds blown
Spinning like a cyclone
You ain't gotta act grown
Just remember love shown
Come up off the corner
Stand on the cornerstone
Jesus on the throne
The eternal chaperone
So if you hearing me and
You been on the grind too long
Time to quit and come back home
Christ is where you belong
I been on the grind too long
Tryna make it on my own
Now I gotta right these wrongs
Tryna find my way home, yeah
I been on the grind too long
Tryna make it on my own
Now I gotta right these wrongs
Tryna find my way home, yeah
My mind can get black and
Spark some dark thoughts
Gotta talk it out
Go look at some ink blots
Mental health matters
I think about that a lot
A therapist can help you avoid that gunshot (blaow)
That bar's a dot
But got you in ear shot
But let us go out like that
I can not
Look Christ can right my wrongs
Funny the same Christ got me writing songs
