Zaria The Artistt - To Be. Lyrics

For all of the rounds you'd think I would be used to the pain
But I still get chills when it calls out my name
If blame is the game, then I'd rather not play it
I'm sorry is more than just words that you say
But a visual learner, myself is included
Want the truth raw, never coated, diluted, or acted
Walk in my shoes and get trackeded, in fact it's
Kind of easier said till the doing is done
We laugh, and we joke, like the damage is fun
But all of it's just how we bandage the feel
Of what get's uncovered when trying to heal
While throwing up meals of the lies that we ate
Praying deliverance separate hate
From inside the body, the soul, and the mind
In due time

Sick of running and hiding, and scheming and lying
About ways that I'm dying, been searching and finding
Myself in the ashes, the smoke and debris
When you look in my eyes, tell me what do you see
More than a picture, a lecture I know
Ain't easy to follow when trying to grow
But maybe I'll choose it, to heal up the bruises
And finally see, who I'm destined to be

Let me hear the sound
Of my mama laughing and walking around
With a smile so contagious, we paint it all over
For all of the times that she called me a soldier
Carried her heart in her sleeve
When she could of packed up and decided to leave
I know it ain't easy, believe me
I'm praying for better
Walking through storms didn't know we could weather
I'll bet you
The peace that we seeking is coming
With a house and some people that count us as equal
The drummers don't ever stop drumming
You'll love it
But faith is required and so is a step
Wipe off the shame, the guilt, and the debt
Give it to God
Beat the odds is the mission
What's the life of a Christian

Cause I been listening lately
And I been feeling like we have a chance to switch up the daily
Into a life we love to live
With peace of mind and hope to give
Like we could change the path forreal
So that the kids don't have to deal
With words unspoken, pieces broken, know we heard before
But been ashamed to walk ahead and really open the door
Now it's time we choose the choice
So that one day we can rejoice
Cause if you asked me on today
I would say I'm

Sick of running and hiding, and scheming and lying
Bout ways that I'm dying, been searching and finding
Myself in the ashes, the smoke and debris
When you look in my eyes, tell me what do you see
More than a picture, a lecture I know
Ain't easy to follow when trying to grow
But maybe I'll choose it, to heal up the bruises
And finally see, who I'm destined to be
