Too Deep TDIGG, Nuel Triumph - My Plight Lyrics

It was June thirtyieth the year 1987
My sister couldn't make it I believe she's in heaven
Mum and dad told me that was what happened
Too young to get it so I had to forget it
Black ink flowing on the pad Oh my
This is history never happened in our bloodline
Pen and pad in hand had to write the first line
It was kind of difficult but it was time to get mine
Growing up none of my kinfolk was born lyrical
GOD bless me by HIS grace I sound quite impetuous
Good diction penning words quite conspicuous
Responding to the calling by HIS purpose I am driven
A mere mortal HE chose hence everyday I flop
Please never get it twisted this ain't dreadlocks
Am still in search of me and I can't run from the fact
But when it's all said and done a pen and pad is all I've got

Flashing lights cameras action
I'm in the limelight
But it don't mean nothing
I'm trying to find my way
I'm in search of me
Day to day I keep on smiling
Behind closed doors I can't stop crying
I'm trying to find my way
I'm in search of me
This is my plight

Some friends from my foes it's hard to tell apart
Cos human as they are I'd never know what's in their hearts
When I slip n fall they kick me while I am down
So I keep a smile cos da weakness is in a frown
The same ones who would gas and ignite you
Are the same ones who would turn around and in your back knife you
I serve the best pound of my flesh to those who stab me in da back
That's the nature of man no need for a heart attack
Garnished with love I cut them deep in the front
Tailored with truth I'm that real no need to front
I was hoping to be rocking with the team I started grinding with
Mama said you were born alone had to acknowledge it
Self motivated CHRIST initiated never debated
Spitting truth to power heart and soul originated
Clean hearts open doors in spite of all the flaws
The LORD searches the heart of man
Introspection so I take a pause
Breathe

Flashing lights cameras action
I'm in the limelight
But it don't mean nothing
I'm trying to find my way
I'm in search of me
Day to day I keep on smiling
Behind closed doors I can't stop crying
I'm trying to find my way
I'm in search of me
This is my plight

The price of a higher calling comes with no negotiations
It's basically a gift and a curse contemplations
It's rather unfortunate people put me on a pedestal
Calculating my every step including the minuscule
I'm a mere man many times I will fail you
I've seen it all before even in times when they hail you
I never get comfortable always staying accountable
Get to know a brother you will know that I'm approachable
Deeply rooted within only lies a broken man
CHRIST my surgeon fail to please society I'm just coping man
An anomaly organised religion don't bother me
Living my life to please my Maker alone, that's evident
Seeking to inspire before I retire eminent
Can't be buried I'm a seed
Can't be caged I'm a bird
GOD uses the foolish things of this world to confound the wise
HE turned my mess into a message story of my life

Flashing lights cameras action
I'm in the limelight
But it don't mean nothing
I'm trying to find my way
I'm in search of me
Day to day I keep on smiling
Behind closed doors I can't stop crying
I'm trying to find my way
I'm in search of me
This is my plight
