Battle for Contentment
These are some things I wrestle with as I strive for contentment as an artist.
Can I be honest? Give you transparency? These are things I battle with as I share and MC I'm an Indie rapper, in a small market Admit I saw hardship, fam, it's been a factor I'm in a different chapter, it used to be, I'd go to shows All they'd know is I'm the bro of Timothy Brindle after He put out Great Awakening in 2003 (classic) I was writing on the low but silent indeed 2004, I started to do concerts and shows Gradually a small fanbase started to grow Tim's one of the best to do it, so the standard is high I wanna be the best I can, at least I plan to try No, I'm not signed to a label but people assume that I am Forget the lies and the fables, I'll tell you the truth where I stand I'm not on Lamp Mode, but love em, and we've done music and jams I'm truly a fan, of their work, I'm down with the whole crew and the clan Was never asked to join and so I just started my own (Gametime) Then Josue took a break and was pausing from shows You seen me at events? I was probably alone Then working at my job so much, I hardly was home No time for jottin the poems, my thoughts would just rome But never thought all of these struggles would cause me to grow The label didn't quite pop off, like how I had thought But I ain't gonna quit, nah, that's not how I was taught Yea I have supporters but no major co-signs But that just keeps me hungry, I'm making more rhymes Tryna battle all these fears, and balance my career Crying out, even if God is silent He hears Came in the game underground, and I love that sound But I like to change it up and be versatile I know some people wish the music would just stay the same I'm growing as an artist, but still stay in my lane I've put out projects, does anybody care What is the point? Should I continue to share? Or should I quit? And Throw my stuff in the sewer (or is my stuff manure) God gave me a gift need to be a good steward
So why you rhyme for Christ? I'll answer why My Savior, the Creator came as a man and died I cannot lie, when I analyze the facts I'll never have the power to cancel out His wrath (40 bars)

You may have seen at some shows, I was actin all friendly Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Little did you know my heart was so sad and it's heavy On top of that, inside I was battling envy You want me to explain? Ok I'm actually ready The practice is deadly I wrestle with contentment On the microphone, I intend to be impressive I tend to be aggressive, but then I'm getting jealous When cats with less skill, get more shine, what are my intentions? Need to man up, forget extended adolescence I really need to pray to Him, I'm treasuring His presence When it's tough, will I delight in the wilderness Fighting the bitterness, striving with diligence Asking myself what's my real motivation Is it to grow and praise Him, and make Him to known to nations Or am I cool with just having some associations Am I after His glory, or my own admiration? The compliments can really boost your confidence Making you puffed up, before you can acknowledge it Start loving prominence and trusting accomplishments We love bein at the top, and covet dominance What is the consequence? Pride of life and godlessness conviction starts to set in, and it bugs our consciouses Until we stop the sin, repent, and run to providence If we don't get the glory we feel what despondence is And feelin down if we don't like how the response has been We need to stop worrying and trust His promises As an artist it's easy to fall into temptation Pride or self-pity are the traps we're often facin Are people sleeping? Or are people hatin? They ain't even peepin? I'm needing patience You love my music? Gives me a great sensation Oh you don't like it? Now I'm feeling devestation That's the honest highs and lows of putting out music Sometimes it feels dope, other times it feels useless So why do I do this? You really wanna know? I write for people who're in pain and to offer hope And if I only reach a few of the people hurtin I'ma keep on making songs, cause to me it's worth it And if I only reach a few of the people hurtin I'ma keep on making songs, cause to me it's worth it
