It’s hard to stay calm in the middle of the storm (storm)
Raindrops feel like nails, all the side-eyes tearing at my form (yeah)
Every little gesture got my skin feeling torn (torn)
I been trying to grow, but they keep pulling me back where I’m from (from)
They don’t want to see the old me, ‘cause the old me don’t pause (nah)
Old me react quick, new me trying to follow the laws (breathe)
Old habits calling like sirens when the night get long (long)
I’m gripping the wheel of my spirit, trying not to go wrong (steady)
My anger can be cold, colder than a snow peak (ice)
They keep dissing on the sneak, throwing rocks then they won’t speak (cowards)
So I’m praying for guidance, praying I keep it discreet (amen)
‘Cause one bad decision turn a good week into defeat (facts)
I worked too hard to escape what I used to be (too hard)
Now they pushing them buttons like they want the fuse in me (click)
I’m holding that line, trying not to let it spill (hold)
But I ain’t made of stone… I’m just learning how to chill (breathe)
(Course)
As I drop to my knees, I’m begging You please (please)
Remove the noise and replace it with ease (ease)
I know this a test and I gotta breathe (breathe)
But if one more push me, that switch flip with ease (switch)
Lord, keep my hands clean, keep my mind free (clean)
Don’t let my past come back and define me (no)
I’ve come too far, I can’t lose my peace (peace)
But I’m not no weak—don’t confuse me (nah)
Choir in my head like “hold on, hold on” (hold on)
Organ in the dark while the bassline crawl (bass)
I’m fighting myself, tryna stay above it all (above)
As I drop to my knees… please, Lord, remove it all (please)
