Lyrics

Take me to another place Take me to another land Forget all that hurts me Understand the plan To another place, to another land Forget all that hurts me Let me understand If I took all of the time that I gave away And all of the time I've slaved away And put em together They shouldn't add up to be more than the time that I've saved to play But life got a habit of passing us faster than we could have ever imagined But we stuck on patterns of making shit happen Not knowing what it could be for til it's after Hands on the clock, they could never move backwards Matter of fact they just seem to move faster And the more you be trying to hold on to the present The stress from it just comes unwrap em That's why I'm obsessed with the moments I capture Through this GoPro, those photos remind me to go more And see more and be more than just a bitch punching a clock every day Just so I can get paid Way less than these whiteys no smarter than me The difference is they got a college degree But their mom and dad could afford the tuition Mine went out the door when I got off the team Cuz I had to work and help mama out As a teen this is what my life's all about And that path went through all of my 20s and 30s At 41 still what I follow now They say stressing will give you an old face Well I'm guessing I'm blessed with the Lord's grace Cuz I look in the mirror still see a young nigga Who's skin similar to new born babies But if you look in my eyes Through the windows of my soul you'll see the weight I hold This smile will disguise And I just wanna tell everybody I'm tired But in back of my mind I'm hoping they notice Hoping they know this is taking its toll on my body, my soul I'm outta my mind when these got damn emotions get outta control And be wearing me down Heavy's the head that be wearing the crown The heaviest heart I been carrying around But you couldn't tell it cuz I'm never wearing a frown Uplifting the same ones who letting me down And think I'm so much of a pleasure to be around Some tell me that I got the purest and realest most healing-est spirit to ever be found And I can not tell em sometimes I be feeling so down when it looks my head in the clouds Be talking to all of my angels above and be begging for strength for what I carry around The motivator needing motivating To motivate who needs motivation And every time I eat through all of these obstacles Seems like God says I got one more plate for you Pops told me it's just my calling Sometimes I don't wanna pick up that line But when my people tangled in life's cords See my heart just can't leave em in that bind And my mind be telling me draw the line But I think my conscience is somewhat blind Cuz it doesn't see a limit on what I could give anyone going through troubled times Money, time, or just good energy Be giving it all until it empties me Then I take a flight to recharge where I'm closer to God Make it all make sense to me I pray Take me to another place Take me to another land Make me forget all that hurts me Let me understand Your plan Take me to another place Take me to another land Make me forget all that hurts me Let me understand Your plan Take me to another place Take me to another land Make me forget all that hurts me Let me understand Your plan Take me to another place Take me to another land Make me forget all that hurts me Wanna understand Your plan Wanna understand Your plan Said I wanna understand Your plan I gotta understand the plan I pray that one day I'ma understand
