Believe

(album: Goodnight Nashville - 2018)

If a man understand what a man gotta do, then
It should never be a problem when he's gotta do it
If the dam stands still then the water stops moving
You'll still never hear me use any excuses
I'm living my life in this fucked up haze
Lord, I'm so sick of my fucked up ways
I'm so sick of having these fucked up days
Hear critics, but give no fucks what they say
In the closet, pulling out skeletons
When the monsters came out to help again
Demons help, but then came from Hell again
You can't take me no place that I never been
And the soul is something you can't sell again
And this pain inside me, it may never end
I just pray that the pearly gates let me in, that they let me in

I believe that everybody needs a second chance
I believe that men do what they want, boys what they can
I believe that everyone should wear hearts on their sleeve
That's what I believe, man, that's what I believe
I believe even dark souls will finally shine for something
I believe we can make it up out this, been struggling
I respect the man that gives it all or nothing
(Yeah) That's what I believe, man, that's what I believe

Lemme tell you what I believe
So much pain, I don't know how to grieve
Come from hopping outside, got my Vans
And everybody got sticks like a hockey team
Hunnid shots, somebody gotta bleed
Retribution plus retaliations
Most of my shooters ain't cop and plead
I've been in the mood for a robbery
I believe all of my hoes are sour
I believe I don't know three that I can even tolerate
For more than a hour (Fuck them hoes)
Yeah, my family, that's who I do this shit for in a prayer
I record to empower my people
My pops went to jail three times this Spring
Guess who bailed him out? And his court cost two thousand, damn
And I don't even fuck wit' 'em, try to make Granny smile
But it's rough when my trust fucked up since I felt that way
Everybody that I came up with fuck with me
Since literally, talking ready, set, hut with me
Came up, now I truly believe that they ain't never fuck with me
Truly believe that I never needed nobody for nothing, fuck

I believe that everybody needs a second chance
I believe that men do what they want, boys what they can
I believe that everyone should wear hearts on their sleeve
That's what I believe, man, that's what I believe
I believe even dark souls will finally shine for something
I believe we can make it up out this, been struggling
I respect the man that gives it all or nothing
That's what I believe, man, that's what I believe
