Life I need a way out
Christ come take the pain out
Please I know I’m needin’ God
He can make the bleeding stop
You said you wouldn’t put on me what I couldn’t bear
I’m calling on Your name because I know You’ll be there
Life I need a way out
Christ come take the pain out
Please I know I’m needin’ God
He can make the bleeding stop
You said you wouldn’t put on me what I couldn’t bear
Jehovah Shammah help me get over this drama

Verse 1
A lot of struggles I had to juggle to stay above the minimum/ Didn’t let em get to me booted em just like a Pentium/ Rough childlife grew up way too fast/ Almost had to make the choice between my mom and my dad/ Divorce my own rendition of Family Portrait/ Family’s distorted what happened family’s important/ At least I thought it to be my family fought constantly/ The toughest thing I thought it started with me/ I was a step farther than my brother and sister/ I didn’t want a step father begged my mother to listen/ It was a split decision not decision to split/ I tried to fix division too late incision was slit/ Intention was missed I had no intentions of this/ I wish it was diff like gifts on the Christmas list/ But this is the end we packed back to livin’ wit kin/ You shoulda thought about this deeper/ For you dished out yo kid I’m singin’/

Verse 2
Unpacked unraveled we traveled to reach our destination/ 3000 miles we strangers like foreigners on spaceships/ With what we had in suitcases great grams was gracious/ To let us stay with til we could cop our own places/ That was my placement after 6th grade graduation/ We left the state of Ohio moms makin’ a statement/ A better outlook like chicks gettin’ a facelift/ “Face it” so we got in the Greyhound and started pacin’/ I wanted popularity from every Tom Dick and Harry/ But vulgarity entered clouded my clarity the parody/ “Get in where you fit in” never shared with me/ All of the pressin’ made me less than I was prepared to be/ Tried to be the man that the chicks would admire/ (that was vanity) And plan to be the guy businesses hire/ (plus keep my sanity) God had a better share for me He showed me charity/ Verily no comparin’ the Christ unto the cares of this LIFE/

Verse 3
When I didn’t have a car when dad was behind bars/ Playin’ wit the white kids gave me scars/ While the rich ate Lucky Charms/ We had our Corn Flakes and made believe our cereal they had stars/ I was in my Egypt non-equipped to fight the demons/ And screamin’ desperately for someone to bring me freedom/ Then Jesus He pulled me out of slavery/ So as the Bride of Christ He’s the Supa I’m the Mrs. Avery/ Created me knows life’s trials before they wave at me/ Keeps my faith in shape so I don’t go on wavering/ Firm on the rock like Wavorly/ Cuz I know He’ll be there in what I go through/ So when I go through I’ll always go through/ He’s my go-to like A.I./ Jehovah Shammah I’ma serve You with honor/ My armor my Abba my Father/ You gave me life and all it’s substance/ Christ and His abundance/ So I can give You me and what it comes with/
