Take My Hand
The Frost Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah yeah yeah
Classic vibes only
I only made a wish
Yeah yeah
Look ey
Darkness is proudly sponsored by all the failures in life
So many people can dictate how you should live your life
Like how you think making music buys you a bread in life?
Lil did they know I can do this without money in sight
Tried being a pilot and trading but still ain't feeling right
Always unhappy and even wanted to take my life
Like do you know how it feels to sit down your parents and tell them you quitting this career
Especially for something you've been doing but still ain't made no move
Like how the hell should I cope with this pressure on my shoulders
Mmh?
Ey God I'm writing you this letter, I filled it up with sins
I almost gave up my soul to make it within my dreams
Forgetting that I'm Christian, firm believer that is saved
Writing my papers with dirty rhymes and you never in script
I hope my soul you take and be the child you won't forsake
I'm fighting dangers of the world, while I remain content
And may my eyes never show pride
My tongue never speak lies
And
May my feet never run to the devil
On behalf of everyone, I'm really sorry my lord
Sometimes reality feels realistic than our prayers
I'm cleaning up my guilt
Soak up myself in a pool of hundred percent grape juice
And this a life I choose
You blessing people that's treated badly for doing right
What's the point of living without the one who gave me life?
I used to focus on cars, money, houses etcetera
Now I don't care 'bout the cars or money inside my pockets
Overdosed the pill of happiness and followed you
The poverty and pain inside me made me someone new
Loving material things is same as hating you
I hope somebody listens
And get it right
God if I ever drown another day
I hope my sins are cleared and I just pray my soul you take
And if my pain will never fly away
I hope I open up to people so they can relate
God if I ever drown another day
I hope my sins are cleared and I just pray my soul you take




And if my pain will never fly away
I hope I open up to people so they can relate
