Anything you can do..........
I seem to think I can do to!
I couldn't sleep last night....so I decided to watch a movie. I decided to finally watch "8 Mile". I've been meaning to and never got around to it. Have you ever noticed when you watch movies that revolve around one thing like singing or dancing, all of a sudden you think you can do it? I was watching this movie and just started writing. I know, I'm a complete dork, but I totally ended up writing out a rap. I really am a dork, but I don't care. I was having so much fun all by myself. How many people can truly say that? I always have fun when it's just me and the Lord. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE hanging out with my friends and my family, but there's something about being all by yourself that's real and true. Not to say you're not real when you're around other people. You're just more aware of what brings you joy and makes you sad when you are all alone. Anyway, back to this silly rap. I wrote it, so I'm gonna write it in this journal. Maybe some day I'll start to type out some of the other stuff I have written. Maybe not.
I'll be rappin, and I'll continue to sing,
till you tell me and you
reveal yourself to me
cuz i just stand here preachin' to my own self
Lord, that ain't helpin' anybody out
cuz I - just sit - and i cry
and i don't know what to do
just livin' till i die
that's not what you want is it?
you want me to get off my butt
and dig it
you're listnin' to me cry
with a sigh
the spirit tells you why
that i cry at night and i sleep and i don't sleep
then i sleep again and i wake up screamin'
the world catches up with me as i sleep at night
i wake up with terror
i wake up with fright
He brings me peace
and after all that
what do i do
Lord, i turn my back
and i practically spit on you
cuz i don't know
what's right and what's wrong and what's wrong and what's right
but then you speak to me in the middle of the night
Lord, you got me here on this earth
and i'm not really sure why
i'm diggin' in the dirt
it's your will
i desire
in my heart
light a fire
come in-to my soul
let your - spirit flow
clear
my
mind
make me white as snow
i'm blameless
in front of you
i can now stand shameless
i'm rhymin'
and i'm white
i'm a girl
yeah that's right
but it don't matta'
young or old, wise or unwise
spirit comes and takes hold
that's somethin' you can't despise
look into my eyes
it's God you will recognize
for He's shootin' down all of satan's lies
The truth
doesn't always have to rhyme
but it will be revealed to you
it's just a matter of time
God is in it
and man
He can spin it
better than any of us could ever do
He'd be down here and J.C. would show us what to do
it's one day at a time i'm livin
keep sinnin'
asken to be forgiven
i'm tired
of livin' life that way
wanna walk in the light every single day
every hour
every minute
so everyone can see that God is livin' in it
my heart
that is
comin'
to save the world - it's not my job
the Lord's got it covered
i'm just a lazy slob
He's gonna
get the job done
so i ask you one time
do you know about God's son?
if not
i tell you who He be
He's Freedom
Love, Peace, Joy and Harmony
you're here for a reason
a season
to make a difference in someone else's life
not to keep complainin' of your own strife
don't underestimate
what God is gonna do
He made you on purpose
don't be nervous
He's got a plan for you
He's got
your best interest in mind
He wanted me to tell you
and that's the reason for this silly rhyme.
