The Walk
D Burmester and the Blind Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just a closer walk with Thee,
Grant it, Jesus, if you please,
Daily walking close to Thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.

I am weak, but Thou art strong;
Jesus, keep me from all wrong;
I'll be satisfied as long
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee.

Through this world of toil and snares,
If I falter, Lord, who cares?
Who with me my burden shares?
None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee.

When my feeble life is o'er,
Time for me will be no more;




Guide me gently, safely o'er
To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore.

Lyrics:

I don't want nobody calling me anything but number 1
Know I got problems,
I don't know how to take losses
Even when, even when they are lost causes
I waste my energy plenty
Serve me to bury my envy
But id rather chase it in Henny
Id rather pay you in pennies
Pissing you off just to get off
Slick like Baryshnikov
Still dodgin hit you up and you playing possum
Acting like bottom feeders
Y’all sucking dick by the liter
Y'all playing monkey see monkey do
I'm playing monkey get got
I put yo ass in the pot
You don't deserve what | got
I always knew
Things would be just fine ooouuu
I always knew
It get worse with time
You should go cry about it oooouuu
Not trying to fight about it ooooouuu oh
