Confessions
Lady of Rage Lyrics

Make a joyful noise unto the lord, all ye lame
Sing out loud and clear in worship to the Lord, even those who may feel broken and weak

Serve the lord with gladness
Be happy to serve and do the Lord's will

Come before his presence with singin
Enter the presence of the Lord with joyful singing

Know, ye that the lord is one
Understand that there is only one Lord

It is he that has made us, not we ourselves
We were created by the Lord, not by our own doing

We are his people
We belong to the Lord

In the sheep of his pasture
We are cared for and protected by the Lord as a flock of sheep in his pastures

Enter, enter, enter, enter
Repeatedly calling to enter the presence of the Lord

Enter
Again, calling to enter the presence of the Lord

Robin, Robin, Robin
Calling out for help to God

Robin, Robin, pray
Urgently pleading for prayer from God

Forgive me God, for I have forsaken thee
Asking for forgiveness from God for turning away from Him

I'm not gonna say that it's the devil that's makin' me
Refusing to blame the devil for one's own actions

Do what I do, the things that I've done
Continuing to make choices and do actions that have been previously done

Just because I'm young, and it's all for fun
Making choices for the sake of enjoyment and youthfulness

I never really thought about the consequences
Not considering the potential negative outcomes of one's actions

But ever since Eazy died, I said "Now Ima listen"
After the death of someone significant, one becomes more attentive and aware of their surroundings and actions

Yay, though I walk through the valleys of death
Referencing Psalm 23, which acknowledges times of difficulty and struggle

I open my eyes, they droppin' like flies, my last breath
Seeing people around oneself passing away suddenly, wondering if one's own death is near

Might get snatched, taken, broke down I'm shaken
Feeling vulnerable and uncertain about what's coming next

Shaken by that shit that's breakin'
Feeling scared and stressed about the problems and issues surrounding oneself

Down your nervous system
Presumably related to the negative things weighing on one's nervous system

So, if you're nervous listen
Encouraging others to listen and be aware if they're feeling similarly stressed

Kissin' cousins die by the dozens
Suggesting that those who are close can often be vulnerable and die suddenly

Because I like good lovin' will I burn in a oven Fiery furnace
Feeling guilty and scared of the potential for punishment for one's actions

'Cause sometimes the yearn gets Tempting so I yield into temptation Intoxication mixed with fornication
Giving in to temptation, specifically regarding alcohol and sex

Face the nation, face the revelation the ending
Acknowledging the reality of facing the consequences for one's actions

Will I be caught up in the rapture Or will I be left behind because what I'm caught up in got me captured
Uncertainty and fear about one's future and potential for judgment

Amazin' Grace, could save a wretch like me
Referencing the hymn 'Amazing Grace', which acknowledges the potential for salvation and redemption

But a wretch like me feels that Hell is already my destiny (Why?) Because I messed with He (Who?),him He who sends them The demons
Feeling guilty and deserving of punishment due to interaction with the devil and demons

I see em schemin' amongst my dreamin' They tell me he awaits suddenly I awake
Seeing and hearing things that make one feel scared and worried about potential punishment

I got a funny feelin' it won't be long before He takes my soul that was the deal all for mass appeal Dollar dollar bill, now my fate seems sealed
Feeling like one's fate is completely out of one's hands and in the hands of a higher power

The nails in the coffin, he's coughin', I'm lookin' Through my iris
Referencing death and feeling like everything is rapidly closing in on oneself

To see if he's got the virus
Checking to see if one has any indication of potentially fatal illness or disease

Paranoia starts to sink in Deranged thoughts start to blink in
Feeling paranoid and having nonsensical thoughts

And out of my mind playin' tricks on me Sufferin' with suicidal tendencies, since ten plus three
Having thoughts about suicide for a long time

On bended knee I ask what's intended for me cause I can't cope
Feeling like one can't handle what's going on and desperately seeking answers

Some tellin' me I ain't shit, some tellin' me I ain't got no hope
Feeling belittled and discouraged by others' opinions of oneself

Confessions of a young girl stressin'
Admitting to feeling overwhelmed and stressed out

Sittin' alone sweatin', burnin' cigarettes into my flesh
Feeling anxious and hurting oneself as a coping mechanism

Not knowin' where I'm going, Can't understand why I came
Feeling lost and uncertain about one's future and purpose

I can't stand the rain, so I'm self inflictin' pain
Using pain to distract from emotional pain and discomfort

Gotta get a grip Gotta hold on a little tighter to the end of this rope, before I slip
Feeling like one needs to regain control and keep going before potentially losing everything

Into insanity Lost within calamity
Feeling like one is rapidly losing their mind and everything is falling apart

Forgive me for I know not what I do but what I've done I confess with my tongue To you
Asking for forgiveness from God and acknowledging one's wrongdoing

He who created heaven and earth, but still I'm still confused I don't know what to do
Feeling overwhelmed and confused about one's life

Is there some way that you Could just clear my visions Can't see you with false prophets and religions
Asking for clarity and guidance while rejecting the influence of false prophets and religions

But I'm driven to find the force that keeps me livin'
Feeling compelled to find meaning and purpose in life

But ifn'I might be mistaken They tell me I'll be held accountable and fried like bacon
Feeling like one might be making mistakes but also scared of the potential for punishment

But wait, when I didn't ask to come here Why is this all unclear
Feeling like one didn't ask for life but also feeling like there's a lack of clarity and understanding

I can't understand, it all seems unfair
Feeling like everything is unjust and unfair

They tell me not to question God, but the question is Will I make it to live another day cause times gettin' hard
Feeling like questioning God is discouraged but also acknowledging the difficulty of life

So you tell me to believe, have the faith of a mustard seed Ask and I shall receive And you're all I need
Encouragement to have faith and trust in God for guidance and help

Indeed, this may be true I'm tryin' to find my link to you
Acknowledging the truth of trusting in God and seeking to strengthen one's relationship with Him

But, for all the things I do, I might not even make it through
Feeling like one's actions may have severe consequences and may not survive

Because we're all born in sin, so nine times out of ten We're all gonna die in sin, same thing all over again
Acknowledging original sin and the likelihood that everyone will struggle with sin and may die in sin

But, I don't want to fry God, I don't even want to die So many tears I cry, so many years I try
Expressing the desire to avoid punishment and death and the struggle that comes with it

I know I've done wrong I know I sing the same ole song But truly I seek a righteous way, that'll lead me to be strong
Acknowledging mistakes and wrongdoing but still seeking to do better and find strength

In spirit and mind, body and soul Deliver me from evil make me whole God take control
Praying for deliverance from evil and wholeness for oneself through God's control

Before it's too late, before you turn me over to a reprobate mind Before you cast me in a lake of fire with my kind Of sinners, for I am a sinner, I confess I pray you forgive me and do bless
Pleading for forgiveness and mercy before being punished as a sinner

My soul to the very end This I ask God forgive me Amen A-Men Amen
Closing prayer and acknowledgment of God's power and grace

Hey God, can you hear me? Can you see me? I can see heaven there Let me see, what's wrong with me
Directly addressing God and acknowledging His presence and power

Hey God, come take a walk with me Hey God, come have a talk with me Hey God
Requesting for God to be present and guide the way
