Verse 1

I’ve seen rivers turn to mud, and my dream was the river
What I thought was new beginning was the end of an era
Now it’s clearer in my mind, my struggles are a God-send
Cuz God sends trouble just to find us where we lost in
Anger, addiction, the pain of affliction…
The days spent sittin in a daze…but listen
The mission, should you accept, to pull a life up
Out the depths…pain is like a snorkel, and yet
We ignore our own anointing, pretend it don’t insist
And since it’s hidden in the past, pretend it don’t exist
And since it’s half-spiritual, half-flesh, we don’t expect
To have a full deck…just play the cards you have left
In the left hand, death, and in the right hand, life…
And life is in the words that you cite in the night
In your darkest hour, that when our God is power
And every hardship is workin’ to get y’all up out of
Your sin.

Verse 2

Fuck the world, and everything that lies within
Why they lie when I was kid and said my eyes could win?
I don’t despise my sin, I’m not a spy nor a cynic
Just this guy livin’ every minute, like I’m in the Senate
Or the House…all my dreams and my hopes vetoed
Prolly sold a million by now if I sold me soul
They told me so…the Lord, he never owes me no
Explanation…just trust that he will hold me close
No excuses…Father, why bother? Like Martha’s
Vineyard, my heart is on vacation…partly suspended
Like animation…prolly my sin is what prevents it
But Father, why I gotta live like an engine…
Spinnin’…torque steer, is like my fourth gear
Think I’m going some where, but then I hit the floor, quick
I need a fork lift, for this…forfeited ton of
Thoughts, abandoned, who ever thought that I’d be stranded
uh

Hook: 2x
I had dreams I could make it (make it)
Until I saw things that could take it (take it)
Away…I fly high like a Cardinal
God is Home…and I ain’t got far to go

Youtube Video for my song "CARRY ON"

listening..
Lyric's are sick bro, and seriously feelin the hook lol. The beat goes perfect with the lyrics

__________________

Flows good, production is poor, the hook is kind of annoying and the lyrics are lame. Good beat for style the song is written in but I probably won't ever desire to listen to this song again..

2/10

lol...goes to show how subjective art is...

1--"lyrics are sick"

2--"lyrics are lame"

LOL...truth lies somewhere in between...lyrics are...good.


But um...Adam...alls I know is...God has a call on your life...I'm actually eager to see what it is...cuz, wutever it is, it's a big task...

If you got the nerve...ask me how I know.

sure


But, I don't think RV is ready for that revelation.


Just put it this way...you can always tell a person's calling based on at least 2 things:

1. What appears like a natural talent, or "gift"
2. Their struggles
