Your Side Of The Bed
J.R. King Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I ain't never had nothing with certainty
Faith got me through while the unknown was hurting me
Urgency applied to every feel of emergency
Baby on the way, and I'm fighting daily with nervous me
Uncle sitting nearest I'm sipping nightly to spur the dreams
Writing all these songs knowing that they never heard of me
Darkness tryna cop me I'm stopping it all barely
Reality setting and honestly starts to scare me
Tryna cast my burdens but the heavy ones are sinking
Eyes close praying but prayers shifting to thinking
Living on still I'm gathering all my reasons the poetry cathartic
Though hardly keeping me seasoned
Stronger in my weakness keep pedaling to believe Him
He is who will be and his sovereignty keeps me reaching
Daily it's a struggle the heavenlys got me seeing
Hoping all my growth will still further me for the peaking
Yeah
Portraiture, and my source is words
Imagery seen as my voice is heard
But what I'm saying though Laying low, that was the plan bro
But now it's seeming speaking out with wisdom is mando
Closer to closure still faithing with the faith of a soldier
Still placement, as I'm patient with boldness
I pro-crass the nation mimicking my behavior
Late to obedience yet fitting for favor from who made ya
Major difference is one is isolated
I made it an everyday prayer to stay made up
Privy to William McRaven and daily practice
I'm at this, mental is active
Limited laxness, can never get back this
I'm tryna fill all of my minutes with passion
I'm tryna deal with all of my demons attacking
I'm tryna find the sword for the closest combatant
Imagine waking up with no passion
The scariest, therapy necessary for madness
Merrily merrily how am I supposed to pass this
Life is but a thing where the dreams keep passing
Charge it to the game maybe I'm just an average
Not reaching for fame but Influence is captured
How am I a steward with the gifts that I'm given
Do I do enough or am I really just living
My solitary thoughts go off
Into a place where I feel lost
My mind is all over the place
I need a win to start my days
I can do this
I can do this
I can do this
I can do this
I can do this
My solitary thoughts go off
Into a place where I feel lost
My mind is all over the place
I need a win to start my days
I can do this
I can do this
I can do this




I can do this
I can do this
