I'm gon' make it off the ground ground ground yeah
I just wanna know where
I will be in 10 years
Thinking thinking bout' my life
Doesn't anybody care?
I don't even know
Cos' right now I'm so low
Lord take my hand from me and lead me oh
Lord lead me oh
And ride for me
You've been always there but right now I can't see
My eyes opened but my mind ain't focused no
My mind ain't focused no
On the main goal
Tryna' save souls
From the Fuego
From the Fuego
Open your eyes and see that he is coming eventual
Why they wan doubt my g when he done told them inside the B
What can I do
But praise you
What can I do

Ohh
I have every reason to praise you
But honestly I don't hold up my end
Yet I'll go on my knees and I'll pray to you
I'll probably go out and sin again
Ahh
I can try harder
I'm an imposter
I should just do what I know that have to and go to the father
It's getting harder
It's getting harder
Yeah
I guess this is the part where I should praise you
Tell you that your good and that I love you
But honestly sometimes I just don't want to
I know you know but it's much stubborness it's not you
Ohh
What can I do, but praise you
I am better on my own
No that's the not true
Where can I go
Without you
Where can I go
What can I do
But praise you
What can I do
But praise you
I been up
I been down down down
I'm gon' make it off the ground ground ground yeah
What can I do
But praise you
What can I do
But praise you
I been up
I been down down down
I'm gon' make it off the ground ground ground yeah
