Affirmation
REP Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lately, I'm questioning my qualification
Tell myself I'm right and I ain't lacking Nathan
But when giants fall, I still Bathsheba bathing
Meaning that sometimes I feel my journey slacking
Even victories they feel a little lacking
Bro I got promoted back a few and I ain't celebrate at all
Because I only see, Rep, what's been cracking
Endgame. Am I on the path that be fulfilling me
Insane. How much we depend upon our dopamine
My brain tells me something different than what hope would bring
This is for those battling to smell the roses
Trust the world is saved when don't strike our poses
Trust the one who saves will keep us on our toeses
Do I need to know or just see where this goes
I need blessed assurance and some affirmation
Sometimes doubts got me thinking I'm mistaken
Tell me how do I move forward when the path ain't clear
And these voices tell me that I'm faking
I just need to hear that
Even when I feel like I'm not on track
God, you got it all so I don't lack
Say it till I know I believe that
Take a break and walk with me down this cobbled road
I let you vent for a while, that weight that's on your soul
Said you made some mistakes on things you should've known
Ain't no point in stressing what's out of our control
I know falling sometimes can make you feel so old
Whether you standing again dependant on your soul
I know you didn't get flowers or even smell the rose
But when you standing too close its hard to see you're growth
Boom ticking time bomb
Promise my shoulder always here for you to cry on
And may them tears water the seed, of your belief
True success is still within reach, no little thief
Can take away your gifts or your promise
And if I'm honest
You're too talented to be breaking down with the average
God don't make mistakes so you, remove the asterisks
You keep pushing forward develop skill then master it
I need blessed assurance and some affirmation
Sometimes doubts got me thinking I'm mistaken
Tell me how do I move forward when the path ain't clear
And these voices tell me that I'm faking
I just need to hear that
Even when I feel like I'm not on track
God, you got it all so I don't lack
Say it till I know I believe that
I need some assurance and some affirmation
Lately, I'm questioning my callification
Yeah, I said right. Cause I know that we have callings on our lives
But mine seems to be causing frustration
Okay. Maybe it's me
Had some pretty good ideas of how I'd lead my family
Had some lofty expectations on me following my dreams
And my money and success and bro on God, I'd be that king
And yo that plan of mine. Thought it was so divine
I failed a couple times. Did I mess up that design
I know I'm talking crae. But I want you to see
That I am reminded God's plan ain't depending on me
There's a thousand paths and you could take them all
On every single one you'd eventually fall
What determines if you're on right one
Is blessed assurance in the way, the truth, the life son
I need blessed assurance and some affirmation
Sometimes doubts got me thinking I'm mistaken
Tell me how do I move forward when the path ain't clear
And these voices tell me that I'm faking
I just need to hear that
Even when I feel like I'm not on track
God, you got it all so I don't lack
Say it till I know I believe that
I need blessed assurance and some affirmation
Sometimes doubts got me thinking I'm mistaken
Tell me how do I move forward when the path ain't clear
And these voices tell me that I'm faking
I just need to hear that
Even when I feel like I'm not on track
God, you got it all so I don't lack
Say it till I know I believe that

I’m not a professional counselor. However, the best place to start depends on who created the situation that damaged the relationship. If it was you, a good place to start is to accept responsibility for what happened and sincerely apologize. If it was them, forgive them - first in your heart and then personally. To move forward, both of you must be willing to let the past be the past and decide to start anew.
