My Own Advice
If I followed my own advice
I'd be a success overnight.
Quit my job, and just write
About the time I decided to take flight.
In my advice,
I detail what it's like to give
Every burden and fight to Jesus Christ.
And I'd be better wirh my cash.
Instead of having the mindset of
I can't take it with me to the end
So I may as well spend.
Or use the excuse that I get tired of
Being paid just to turn around and have to
Get these bills paid....Broke again....
Making transactions, shaking Satan's hand
Until God decides it's the right timing
For a blessing. Damn.
Now I'm paying back insterest on a loan
That I can't afford....
Praying please get me out of another
Impossible situation, Dear Lord.
But that doesn't take away from who I am.
I want you to have more self-worth
Because I was told that other guy was the better
Man and still in love I stand.
And I would know that God has devised a plan.
If I took my own advice,
I'd know how special I am, right?
Believe in myself with some consistency.
Instead, one day I'm like fuck it,
And I put down my pen.
The next day, I'm back at it again.
It's easier to give advice because
I don't want the next person to be
As stupid as I.
With eyes looking from the outside
Everything that you have ever known
Becomes a lie.
So I can't take my own advice.
I can only pray that I become a little more wise.
