The Trip
s.t.a.r. Lyrics

Man I couldn't even trip
I didn't get upset or worried

If you said to me so long
If you told me goodbye

And you dipped
And you left

Cuz I know I do you wrong
Because I know I hurt you

I'm a slip
I will make a mistake

If I find out that you're gone
If I discover that you have left

And I missed
And I missed

Out on ya Grace and I'm alone
Out on the forgiveness you offer and I am lonely

When you were patient when
When you were understanding when

I went out on that vacay
I went on that vacation

Pride had me flying till
My ego had me feeling confident until

I went down screaming May Day
I faced a crisis and called for help

Doing my own thing
Doing what I wanted

Sin had me paid slave
Sin had me enslaved

Death was the salary
Death was the consequence

Glad that I missed the pay day
Thankful that I avoided the consequences

Satan will promise you everything
The devil will make grand promises to you

On a play date
In a deceptive manner

Then he'll vacate
Then he will leave

Send a message saying JK
Send a message saying 'just kidding'

You're just a kid in the spirit
You are immature in your faith

So act your age wait
So behave according to your spiritual maturity

Ain't you tired of milk in the spirit
Aren't you tired of only having basic knowledge of your faith

Give me that steak plate
Give me deeper spiritual nourishment

I was Bartimaeus blind
I was spiritually blind like Bartimaeus

Saul on Damascus road
Like Saul, who encountered Jesus on the road to Damascus

Lost my sight
Lost my spiritual vision

Paul from the ashes rose
Paul emerged stronger from his difficult experiences

For me they tortured ya
They tortured Jesus for me

Broke me from my bonds free
Set me free from my spiritual bondage

They gave you that Florida
They crucified you on the cross

Son Nails Palm Tree
Your son, Jesus, was nailed to a cross

Arthur & Walker them brothers
Arthur and Walker are siblings

Who kept it concrete
Who stayed true and steadfast

Them two street nothing sweet
They were tough and streetwise

You know they bond deep
Their bond is strong

I was that younger brother of 3
I was the youngest of three siblings

Kept myself secluded
I isolated myself

Introverted for certain until
Shy and reserved until

I met with music
I discovered the power of music

That pen and pad was my therapy
Writing and expressing myself was therapeutic

It brought clarity
It provided clear understanding

And drove to the woman I’d marry
And led me to meet the woman I would marry

Her name was Mary See
Her name was Mary

I watched my brother and sister
I observed my siblings

Pursue the street life
Engage in a life of crime

And tried to follow suit
And I attempted to imitate them

While every night racing the
While every night I hurried in

Street lights
The lights illuminating the streets

Curfew that's for who
Curfew, who does it apply to?

Man what that curb do
What consequences does that lifestyle have?

Blinded by a faulty perception
Blinded by a flawed understanding

I had a cursed view
I had a distorted perspective

Conditioned to a point you won't
Conditioned to a degree where you refuse to

Listen to what the Lord say
Pay attention to what the Lord says

You driven but you headed to prison
You are ambitious, but you are on a path to prison

This isn't your lane
This is not where you belong

To those that say that people
To those who claim that people

Don't change
Do not go through transformation

I'm saying you're lame
I'm declaring you are foolish

I went from my addiction to
I transitioned from being addicted to

Women to getting ordained
Women to becoming ordained

I prostituted my purpose
I devalued and misused my calling

My pay was more pain
I suffered more as a result

But everything changed when I'd
But everything changed when I would

Start to call the Lord's name
Begin to invoke the name of the Lord

Couldn't even trip
I didn't get upset or worried

Couldn't even trip
I didn't get upset or worried

Couldn't even trip
I didn't get upset or worried

If you said to me so long
If you told me goodbye

And you dipped
And you left

Cuz I know I do you wrong
Because I know I hurt you

I'm a slip
I will make a mistake

If I find out that you're gone
If I discover that you have left

And I missed
And I missed

Out on ya Grace and I'm alone
Out on the forgiveness you offer and I am lonely

Arthur & Walker them brothers
Arthur and Walker are siblings

Who kept it concrete
Who stayed true and steadfast

Them two street nothing sweet
They were tough and streetwise

You know they bond deep
Their bond is strong
