Sold
$.J.R Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm drifting, I just need you to listen
Feel like I'm drowning in need of assistance
Feel the pressure from the weight of my distance
I dont even know how I got here
Hindsight is 20 20 but it's not clear
I see better days chilling in the rearview
Running from the fact that I cant even feel you, Lord help me
Standing at temptations gate, While I pace in place
Wanna make a great escape, From this fate I face
But I cant seem to stay away, Guess it's safe to say from my day to day
I try to do what I wanna do, but end up what i dont wanna do
Like Roberson with the follow thru, Luci got me tryna follow suit
When I'm tailored to follow truth, Too much I gotta do, Stressed got me bout to move
In the wrong direction, Tryna push away but my falls progressing
Autumn leaves dropping heavy as i start to press in
Enticed by the silhouette of sin, im checking in
Falling for the pleasure over passion, Searching for the Heir so I'm gasping
Heard it was forgiveness at Your throne so I'm asking

Round and round I Go, Bout to lose control
Temptations feeling bold, But Your love its got me sold
You got me so sold, got me got me so sold, you got me so sold, got me got me so sold
Round and round I Go, Bout to lose control
Temptations feeling bold, But Your love its got me sold
You got me so sold, got me got me so sold, you got me so sold, got me got me so sold

These vicious cycles, got me feeling trifle
I'm just tryna feed the fam
Live more insighful, Leave legacies for my kids to be better me's
Pray they dont get attached to the thorns embedded in me
I dont even know where to turn too
Feel like all these bridges I done burned thru
But Your love is right there in the midst of my doubt
Got me in Your hands so what Im worried bout
Im so unworthy when I'm known to live dirty
Always Let you down, but You ain't never curb me
You been down to ride from day 1
Covered by the blood sauce dripping like its a1
The key to life what Your love be
Ain't tryna keep the Spirit in house like the grudge be
Gotta let Your light shine bright, even when it's hard to fight
Security in Your love got me feeling top flight
So watch us take off take off
And come up for the culture, no days off days off
Heavy burdens made light what a trade off trade off
His life for my life that's a paid cost paid cost
No, I can never repay you, But thru Your strength I know that I can remain true
So imma run this race like Usain
Going for the gold in the name of the true King yuh

Round and round I Go, Bout to lose control
Temptations feeling bold, But Your love its got me sold
You got me so sold, got me got me so sold, you got me so sold, got me got me so sold
Round and round I Go, Bout to lose control




Temptations feeling bold, But Your love its got me sold
You got me so sold, got me got me so sold, you got me so sold, got me got me so sold
