Take Me Away
Big Scoob Lyrics

Lord, Grant me,
Asking for God's favour and assistance

The serenity to accept the things that I cannot change?
Wishing to have the ability to accept things that he has no control over

Courage to change the things that I can and the wisdom to know the difference?
Asking for the courage and wisdom to change what he can control

Learning to live one day at a time, Enjoying one moment at a time
Living in the moment and appreciating the present

Accepting hardships is my path when it peaks
Acknowledging that facing difficulties is part of life

Taking as he did, My sinful world as it is, And not as I would have it
Accepting the world as it is, rather than expecting it to be perfect

It's like everywhere I go the drama follow me
Feeling like there is always chaos and problems following him

I try to get away, The streets is calling me, Lord Please?
Hoping to escape the negative and dangerous environment he is in, and calling on God for help

And the hood is all I know, So I'm just trying to stay strong but
Struggling to stay strong and maintain his identity in the only environment he's known

I don't know if I can make it on my own, Lord Please?
Feeling like he cannot survive on his own and needing assistance from a higher power

They got me scared to pick my phone up, It's always bad news
Feeling anxious about receiving phone calls due to the constant negative news he hears

Seems like lately, Lord I ain't winning, All I do is lose
Feeling like he's been constantly losing in life recently

I done lost so many people, I got nothing left to lose
Having lost many significant people in his life, feeling like he has nothing else to lose

They done turned the chess to checkers, They ain't playing by the rules
Feeling like the game of life has changed and people aren't abiding by the rules anymore

I done paid so many dues, Feel like I should know the moves but
Having gone through many hardships, feeling like he should know how to navigate situations better but still feeling lost

I'm blind and I cant chose, How much longer in these shoes?
Feeling lost and not knowing how much longer he can continue living in his current situation

I've been walking down this same path, It's time for something new
Feeling like he's been stuck in the same situation for too long and wanting a change

I keep trying to add up numbers but subtractions all you use
Feeling like he's been working hard to improve his life but things keep getting taken away

It's like everywhere I go the drama follow me
Feeling like there is always chaos and problems following him

And the hood is all I know, So I'm just trying to stay strong but
Struggling to stay strong and maintain his identity in the only environment he's known

I dont know if I can make it on my own, Lord Please?
Feeling like he cannot survive on his own and needing assistance from a higher power

I'm so tired of gutter livin, How the story stays the same
Feeling exhausted from living in poverty and seeing no change in his situation

How I see the same picture and it's always full of pain
Seeing his environment as being consistently negative and painful

Life is cloudy in these pitchers and it always brings rain
Feeling like life has become dark and stormy

That's the reason, I be itchin in the kitchen, twistin' caine
Resorting to drug use as a coping mechanism

Ain't much different if it's prison or the block it's all the same
Feeling like living in the hood and being in prison yield a similar fate

So I get it how I'm livin don't make sense to leave the game
Feeling like staying in the hood and participating in drug dealing is the only viable option he has

I ain't trying to place the blame, I'm just asking how to change?
Asking for advice on how to improve his life situation

Tryin to find a different lane, That's the reason I'm with Strange but
Attempting to change his path and find a different way of life

With Strange involve the fame but it's slow to bring the change
Feeling like being involved in the music industry and achieving fame hasn't brought about significant change in his life

So I'm right back in the game and I don't think that I can change
Feeling like he's back to square one and that it's too late to change his situation

Man, My home will still remain, Still got greed for fancy thangs
Feeling like his environment will always be the same and that he still has a desire for material possessions

So I'm right back in position on a mission through the rain
Feeling like he's back to his old ways and pushing through the difficult times

It's like everywhere I go the drama follow me
Feeling like there is always chaos and problems following him

I try to get away, The streets is calling me, Lord Please?
Hoping to escape the negative and dangerous environment he is in, and calling on God for help

And the hood is all I know, So I'm just trying to stay strong but
Struggling to stay strong and maintain his identity in the only environment he's known

I don't know if I can make it on my own, Lord Please?
Feeling like he cannot survive on his own and needing assistance from a higher power

Man, They tell me it's a reason, While I'm still upon this earth
Believing that there is a reason for why he's still alive

Am I the only one dont see it, Please? Show me what I'm worth?
Asking for God to show him his purpose and value

Just a glimpse of my destiny? I swear to give the best of me
Wishing for a sign of what he's meant to accomplish and pledging to give his all once he knows

And till there's no more breathe in me, All I got that's left of me
Promising to always work hard and give his all until he can no longer do so

I'm trying to clear the pitchers with my very last shot
Hoping to improve his life situation with his final opportunity

If a switch don't come from this one, Then I'm heading for the block
If he doesn't succeed, he will resort back to his old ways

Time to holla at my mexicans and dust off my pa
Planning to get involved in drug dealing again

Yeah, You know I had to keep it man, I knew I couldn't stop
Feeling like he has no other choice but to continue drug dealing

I'm a pusher that's my nature, So I'm trying to push these records but
Feeling like his nature is to sell things, so he's trying to make money by selling records instead of drugs

I speak a different language, So it's hard to get my message
Feeling like he has a different background and upbringing from most people in the music industry, making it difficult to communicate his message

Vent aggression, Under Pressure, Like the lids funna blow
Feeling like he's under a lot of pressure and needs to release his frustration before he explodes

Got my eyes on the prize but, It's still far to go
Focusing on his goals, but realizing that he still has a long way to go

It's like everywhere I go the drama follow me
Feeling like there is always chaos and problems following him

I try to get away, The streets is calling me, Lord Please?
Hoping to escape the negative and dangerous environment he is in, and calling on God for help

And the hood is all I know, So I'm just trying to stay strong but
Struggling to stay strong and maintain his identity in the only environment he's known

I don't know if I can make it on my own, Lord Please?
Feeling like he cannot survive on his own and needing assistance from a higher power

So as I stand here before you, Lord
Addressing God and acknowledging his presence

I take this opportunity to humble myself and ask you for your help?
Asking for assistance from God and acknowledging his humility

It's like at this point in my life right now
Feeling like he's at a crossroads in his life

I need something different or I just need you to let me know
Asking for guidance and a sign of what he needs to do

This is the path that you intended for me and I'll walk this path with no resistance
Accepting and committing to following God's intended path for his life
