If it's time for reflection then lets grind for selection
I had a resurrection blessin presented with protection
Which is why this confession is best when I'm not guessin
Imperfection was my flaw after all I got the call to ball but not fall
Not only breaking rules but also breaking the law
When I seen what I saw I had to drop my jaw
Because I was in awe when it all began
Never was the man though I had my own plan
Rewind I thought I was the man with a plan to stand
But I had to be outstanding and never could I land
Head up in the clouds feet weighed down with doubts
Lord if I could work it out then I'd have no reason to pout

I was blind to the elephant in the room
Consumed by doom when I pursue any thing but you
I was lion but tooth for a tooth now I can only tell the truth
So what should you do when playing foolish games is all you know how to do

I was a wise teacher with much understanding, buddy
and I collected a number of proverbs that I had carefully studied
Then I tried to explain these things in the best and most accurate way.
Words of wisdom are protection to keep you from going astray
These sayings come from a shepherd, and they are like nails
that fasten things together. My child, I warn you to stay away from hell
& any teachings except for these. There is no end to books,
and too much study will wear you out. Just take a look
Everything you were taught can be put into a few words:
Respect and obey God! This is what life is all about. Ya heard
God will judge everything we do, even what is done in secret,
whether good or bad and that's how we gotta keep it

I was blind to the elephant in the room
Consumed by doom when I pursue any thing but you
I was lion but tooth for a tooth now I can only tell the truth
So what should you do when playing foolish games is all you know how to do

When I was young and dumb before I was sprung
I was begging for some still I don't know how come
I thought if I had a chance to play it would be fun
Never did I learn until I was burned by the sun
So wishing and hoping turned my vice into a girl
But praying was so hard and far out of this world
My body is like the universe with planets and stars
'Cause my scrapes turned into scabs and my scabs into scars
