Born Again

[JCollins23]

Please let me know what you think - good or bad - its a rap song - thanks!

Please excuse me
My mind's been absent like Ferris Bueller
I was absent minded, walking mindless as a no good do-gooder
During this time I wasn't me, like Ray Charles I just couldn't see
The truth
Couldn't handle it like Jack, almost outgrew my youth
Couldn't handle the fact that my past couldn't hold a candle to you
And that's the truth

Born again lookin forward my friend
Got blinders on never been more determined to win
Step in these shoes and buckle from the weight
I rose above the ashes I'm like Cashis Clay

My trials and tribulations of the past is where I keep 'em
Memories scarred, my pain its seeping
But I'm so bright, I'm white hot, I'm shining
Dark clouds above, but there's a silver lining

I use my mistakes as a stepping stone
Learn from my past my past is gone
The best present I've ever received is the present
Depression, its second best, one of life's damned lessons
It grabs you by the throat consumes you and squeezes
Kicks you in the face, chokes you, and never releases
Makes you feel the passion like JC I mean Jesus
I woulda traded it all for all them lashes
Now lookin back, I'd chose the depression
Kinda like Will Hunting chose the wrenches
Cuase fuck em that’s why do I have your attention?

Born again lookin forward my friend
Got blinders on never been more determined to win
Step in these shoes and buckle from the weight
I rose above the ashes I'm like Cashis Clay

My trials and tribulations of the past is where I keep 'em
Memories scarred my pain its seeping
But I'm so bright, I'm white hot, I'm shining
Dark clouds above but there's a silver lining

I'm not here to shed tears they've flowed already
I'm here to heal wounds of tanks left on empty
Strap on my gloves like a mechanic he sent me
The big guy upstairs that’s who repent me
Anything's possible ask David who toppled
Goliath, with no help from the twelve apostles
Felt like I was stabbed in the back like Judas,
Forgive and forget, that’s the only way through this

So let's flip the script on this bitch and turn the switch on,
Cause I can now see the light like I'm the enlightened one
So simmer down, quiet, and listen to these words carefully,
Cause your about to receive a rare moment of clarity
No matter how dark things are or seem to get,
When you're looking to the sky and you ask "what's next?"
I want you to go dig deep inside of your soul and just know,
That there's light at the end of this windy road
That tomorrow isn't promised, and yesterday's past has passed
So focus on today, and mirror this rhyme back

Born again lookin forward my friend
Got blinders on never been more determined to win
Step in these shoes and buckle from the weight
I rose above the ashes I'm like Cashis Clay

My trials and tribulations of the past is where I keep 'em
Memories scarred my pain its seeping
But I'm so bright, I'm white hot, I'm shining
Dark clouds above but there's a silver lining

Born again lookin forward my friend
Got blinders on never been more determined to win
Step in these shoes and buckle from the weight
I rose above the ashes I'm like Cashis Clay

My trials and tribulations of the past is where I keep 'em
Memories scarred my pain its seeping
But I'm so bright, I'm white hot, I'm shining
Dark clouds above but there's a silver lining
