Lyrics

Big prayers big blessings
Big fears, I'm still stressing
It's like I spent my whole life searching
My whole working
To validate my purpose through these verses
My Grandma passed in '08 yall I'm still hurting
Do she still see the God in me I'm not certain
Maybe it's 'cause I'm in and out of churches
It's hard to connect to sermons
When the service ain't aligning worship
And I try to express myself more without cursing
Just know I fall short sometimes I'm not perfect
Picked myself when I felt worthless
Every blessing receive I deserve it
I'm grateful I'm still immersed in the holy water
Prayers up to the Holy Father
Crazy when I read the word
I be like I know the author
Growing up I was too embarrassed to go up the alter
Trying to be cool not knowing that all of those sins will cost ya
Now I'm in own lane fire baby that's propane
And if they nit pick I don't sweat 'em I let em crochet
Yea, I was influenced by the old Ye
I'm seasoned in the game like Old Bay
'08 Jon died a week later moms cried
Remember the titans still trying to gather my strong side
That's word to Gary Bertier, faced a lot hurt here
Never been a rookie y'all not even in my first year
I'm a man I'm tough as nails y'all but I still burst tears
But that's when you know that another verse near
Dressed in all black ain't been the same since that hearse cleared
Yeah
But I'm older now
It ain't over now
The world is colder now
I took a year off and it still feel like I'm holding out
Wake up and smell biscuits y'all especially when they're golden brown
Man I swear this feel like Grandma house
Big prayers big blessings
Big fears, I'm still stressing
It's like I spent my whole life searching
My whole working
To validate my purpose through these verses
Jon passed in '08 yall I'm still hurting
Do he still see the God in me I'm not certain
Maybe it's 'cause I'm in and out of churches
It's hard to connect to sermons
When the service ain't aligning worship
And I know it's getting harder now
Day lights savings it's getting darker out
It's been some years but finally I can start to smile
Teaching these kids everyday it's not an option now
I'm dropping in their lives to make sure they're not dropping out
My heart still goes out to Silas and J
I know that pain that their feeling now cannot be replaced
How I know? They feel the same way I did in '08
Losing your biggest inspiration at a very young age
I know it's hard y'all
Yeah
Just keep your faith in God y'all
Yeah
And if you ever need me I got you
Keep going don't let 'em stop you
And if ever want to know how I got through
Just know that it was the
Big prayers big blessings
Big fears, I'm still stressing
It's like I spent my whole life searching
My whole working
To validate my purpose through these verses
My Grandma passed in '08 y'all I'm still hurting
Do she still see the God in me I'm not certain
Maybe it's because I'm in and out of churches
It's hard to connect to sermons
When the service ain't aligning worship
I promise it was them big prayers
