Spark - Legin

I really hope these strings will communicate my heart/

And if they don’t I just pray that they’ll be a start/

What I can’t say I place in art, make plain the vague and hope it makes a spark/

Of a little bit of light in all this dark/

I have friends who’s dear to me, don’t understand the pain I see/

I’m building something great but sometimes I feel the vacancy/

Don’t know where to turn, feeling lost inside this greatness seems/

Oxymoronic, I’m doing fine as far as they can see/

Social media got us confused, it’s a place to post the news/

Not a place to post how you are really doing/

So we don’t, because we don’t want to hear it/

Emoji hands I’m praying for you, thou shalt not lie, we really know we won’t/

So if I say that, I really drop my head and whisper something to the Father/

Wish I would pray for me when I get bothered/

When Kinah was a toddler, 0−100 I would yell when I got stress outside that

harmed us, and I’m sorry/

And I can’t go to sleep or wake without things on my brain like/

Close people that’s in pain I know, folk I know that ain’t right/

They left down a dangerous road, don’t if it’s they night/

For us to get a call saying he ain’t make it to daylight/

I grew up with stories of inequality and fake rights/

To pacify a movement people ain’t want to see take flight/

A hope of overcoming then Tamir got shot and nothing happened/

I looked at Josiah like we really in the same fight/

I have white friends I love dearly, my arm, I’d give the right for/

Who complain about these issues like an eye sore/

It will go away if we don’t look, nothing cancer victims say/

But the truth they cannot see behind their eye boards/

They won’t take the plank up out, while they’re rolling in the saw dust/

American dreaming to build a house on false constructs/

Can’t notice the footing lost from dust that turns to quick sand/

And wanna fix this land from a distance/

Want an instance where it all goes away without repentance/

But go to church and praise Him with WWJD on their wristbands/

While we were yet sinners, hit the cross for the undeserving/

But we get convenient when it comes down to other serving/

Cool to hear bout' pain if it don’t disrupt our undergirdings/

Don’t take a knee, do it this way, no concern the brother’s hurting/

Find a way to discredit, find a way to dismiss em'/

Maybe he shouldn’t care cause he’s mixed or just switched religions?/

Maybe I wasn’t there why should I pay for the sins I didn’t?/

Whether it’s fake news or stay woke we stay blaming the systems/

See we stay blaming «isms,» point fingers from our corners and falling back/

Not realizing all these «isms» we struggle with are all results of that/

But I’m off of that, meanwhile what’s really bugging/

Still feel I struggle some days as a son and a husband/

Feel like I fight to make change and don’t know if it’s buzzing/

Then have nothing left for my family I just know that I love em'/

Owe them the best but feel I give them seconds over others/

Not my intention but this feeling’s real over redundant/

Lay my kids down feel like I failed again, it’s so repugnant/

I’m just fighting hard to try and be who my daddy wasn’t/

I have a high standards because I want the best for them/

But without God on my best day all I can give them in my best is sin/

My wife holds on to me through the best of them/

She’s seen me at my worst and still whispered to me to rest in Him/

I don’t understand it all, and I never claimed to/

But when I couldn’t He sent me a brown skinned angel/

A messenger of grace, I know the difference between Satan and his claims too/

I don’t always know where I’m going all the time, but I know how grace moves/

So new day I’ma face you, with all my pain and stains too/

All the things that’s weighing on my heart I can’t explain to/

I will make it over things others can’t relate to/

Hands high, face low still remains my angle/

I just pray this transparent moment really helps you make it through/

No matter what’s in your way I just hope you make it too/

Whether inside or outside whatever’s paining you/

I pray this transparent moment really helps you pray too/

I really hope these strings will communicate my heart/

And if they don’t I just pray it’ll be a start/

What I can’t say I place in art, to make plain the vague, hope it makes a spark/

Of a little bit of light in all this dark/

I really hope these strings will communicate my heart/

And if they don’t I just pray it’ll be a start/

What I can’t say I place in art, to make plain the vague, hope it makes a spark/

Of a little bit of light in all this dark/
