Embracing Life's Lessons: Finding Pride in the Provision
Lyrics
You give us dreams to wake us up
You provide dreams to awaken us.
You say, take pride in the provision
You encourage us to take pride in the provision.
When all we see is the face of defeat you say
In the face of defeat, you emphasize taking pride in the provision.
Take pride in the provision
Reiteration of the call to take pride in the provision.
My future's finally found me, figured me out
My future, previously elusive, has become clear.
It's painful, it's tough, I never saw it coming
The realization is painful and unexpected.
Come as it may, because all of this life is a lesson
Life is a lesson, and challenges come regardless.
I'd rather learn than end up in a cold covered up dark grave
Prefer learning from life's lessons over facing a dark fate.
These are the words of a man who finally let go
Expression of letting go and moving forward.
These are the goals of a man who's laid it all down,
Goals of surrendering everything for a greater purpose.
Losing it all made me realize
Realization that losing everything brings clarity.
I am the victim, the culprit, the casualty, and the 'cause
Acknowledging various roles in life: victim, culprit, casualty, and cause.
Losing it all led me to you, to you
Losing everything led to finding a connection.
Losing it all led me to you, I'm sick
Reiteration of finding a connection amid loss.
I need sight, I need help, I need you, and I'm not getting any better
Expressing need for guidance, assistance, and improvement.
I am the deceiver, I'm not getting any better
Admitting to deception without improvement.
I'm the thief, the whore, the murderer
Identifying with negative traits: thief, whore, murderer.
It's times like these, It's times like these
Reflection on challenging times and self-awareness.
you forget to remember who you are
Forgetting one's identity in difficult times.
The way up is down, truth is found when life throws you out
Finding truth when life throws challenges.
And kicks you to the curb
Challenges force self-reflection and change.
I'm just as much the problem as the man behind bars
Acknowledging personal responsibility, equating to the man behind bars.
He did with his business what I do in my heart
Comparing personal actions to those with legal consequences.
You wronged me, you crossed me, I'll never let it ruin me
Resilience against wrongs, avoiding personal ruin.
Lessons are learned deep down within my heart, in my heart
Deep learning from life's lessons within the heart.
The worst men make the best stories come true
Embracing challenges as opportunities for compelling stories.
The past is a part of me
Acknowledging the impact of the past on one's present.
But not who I am
Separating past experiences from current identity.
I realize my identity is not in
Realizing identity lies in beliefs, not just experiences.
What I've seen but in what I believe to be true
Believing in personal truths beyond observed realities.
I know what I need now
Understanding personal needs and desires.
All that was lost is not lost
Recognizing that what was lost is not permanently gone.
Even the worst of mankind can't disrupt sovereignty
Asserting that even the worst actions can't disrupt sovereignty.
You've given me this nightmare to wake me up
Nightmares serve as wake-up calls to reality.
You say, Take pride in the provision
Reiterating the importance of taking pride in provision.
You've given me more than enough
Acknowledging abundance provided by external forces.
You say, take pride in the provision
Reiterating the call to take pride in abundant provision.
