Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I tried everything nothin' works for me
Adversity keep on hurtin' me
I pray Father make it work for me
I know someone has it worst than me
I tried everything nothin' works for me
Adversity keep on hurtin' me
I pray Father make it work for me
Lord I'm hurtin' bad
I ain't really askin' for answers
Rest in peace Sipp
Still sick she died from the cancer
Missin' DB
The man had an eye for the camera
Remember us when devisin' the stanzas
I know someone has it worst than me
I may complain not purposely
Haters' urkin' me with their urgency
Now my focus me
Plan A or B or shall I go to C
Lord look over me
When I go to sleep
While the serpents creep
Lead me Lord if the logic is off
Hard to think straight
Father help me process a thought
Peace of mind gotta be sought
We human so whip ya eye
Cause it don't hurt to cry
Even though I sit and sigh
Someone is worst than I
Even though I sit and sigh
Someone is worst than I
I know someone has it worst than me
I tried everything nothin' works for me
Adversity keep on hurtin' me
I pray Father make it work for me
I know someone has it worst than me
I tried everything nothin' works for me
Adversity keep on hurtin' me
I pray Father make it work for me
Somebody got it worst than me
Broken spirit
Murder in the first degree
So much pain
You can't stop the tears from burstin' free
But see we all gotta testimony
Didn't know I was depressed till it crept up on me
Feelin' lost distressed guess I'm not belonging
Begging God to spare me please don't let em stone me
Lord have mercy on me
Let me correct my wronging's
Made a permanent change
Yet opportunity keep prolongin'
Was it all in vein?
Can't complain
When you go from violent nights to a peaceful morning
Prayers how we overcame
Life has repercussions you can come up quick
Just don't blow the game
Just don't blow the game
Make the right decisions
And all is forgiven
Another soul is saved
Another soul is saved
I know someone has it worst than me
I tried everything nothin' works for me
Adversity keep on hurtin' me
I pray Father make it work for me
I know someone has it worst than me
I tried everything nothin' works for me
Adversity keep on hurtin' me
I pray Father make it work for me
Is it a roof above?
A place to stay
Adversity kickin' ass
Im'a make a way
Many that's worst off
It's safe to say
I'm alive somebody didn't wake today
If you battlin' obstacles and you ain't decay
You can reflect but really you can't complain
Remember ones strugglin' and can't sustain
Cycle of poverty viscous gotta break the chains
It don't kill you most def you can take the pain
Establish full control take the reigns
Laugh at adversity celebrate the gains
Give praise everyday you gotta thank the mane
The devil busy deny cause he can't contain
There's no obstacle that can stop you like you can't attain
Even though I sit and sigh
Someone is worst than I
Even though I sit and sigh
Someone is worst than I
I know someone has it worst than me
I tried everything nothin' works for me
Adversity keep on hurtin' me
I pray Father make it work for me
I know someone has it worst than me
I tried everything nothin' works for me
Adversity keep on hurtin' me
I pray Father make it work for me
