Hand it over

 

 

It’s 9am and I’ve forget to pray

Wonder if the lord has got my back today

 

Baseball cap on and my rucksack strapped

Dizzy out the door because of the dream I had the night before

 

My boo in distress cus bills ain't been paid

Spent all our money on smokes, beer and all inclusive holidays

 

The job that I do ain’t really suiting me

Mail room clerk ain’t a job that’s moving me

 

I got to get my act together

Got to make my stamp

Got to make my mark

Got to try and make a dollar

The lord knows I need him today

 

Pushing a mail truck

From floor to floor

Posting pigeon hole

Letters for the man to the ceo

 

The devil on my back

Confusion in my head

My boo so tired from feeding babies

She still in bed

 

5 pm and on my way home

See the man on the corner

Throwing rocks to the in-crowd kids

Making dollars over fist

Surely I’m in the wrong

To waste my life pushing a mail room truck

Maybe I should turn my cap back

Slinging rocks and bounce to hip hop

Yeah me the big I am the heavy duty Mack.

 

I take the greyhound bus

Watch life through my window passing by

I take a hit on a bud in a paper bag

To try and ease the pain away

I know I should throw it out the window

Get down on my knees and pray

But this stress in my head is killing me

And this voice says what’s the use to pray

 

 

 

 

 

Because time is short

And the master holds the plans

I’ve decided next time

I’ll start my day a different way

Make bottles for my babies

During the night

Kiss their foreheads and hold my babies tight

Tell my girl listen todays a different day

I promise her come hell or high water

Everything’s gonna be alright

The lord showed me a vision a night dream

In the middle of the night

Saying submit your life to the creator

And everything will be alright

Tell him all your problems

Every sin, confess

Turn back and everything he will work out

 

So I’m trying hard after messing up so many times

I know I’m wrong

Tried by my own self efforts to regroup

But still I’m falling down

So I’ve set aside my pride and put my hope

In the one who loves me best

Love deeper than a woman

More than David had love for Johnathan

 

He’s more than a provider

A counsellor and more

An angel, a redeemer, a communicator

I call him lord.

 

I ain’t saying my life is easier now

But I feel a sense of peace

Now I feel a sense of worth

Now I feel I can make it

 

So next time you look at your life

In the mirror when you shavin

And wonder what it’s all about

Take some time to listen

Pray and let him work it out.
