Prognosis - Trip Lee

Hey I still recall the day the doctor told me that I was sick

And my mind keeps going back it was a trip

Look I was thinkin He ain’t know the facts

Probably cause my heart couldn’t get a hold of that

He said that I was terminal and that it spread quick

And my whole body was infected I’m desperate

My minds racing at this point I wanna exit

Cause all His tests suggested I be dead quick

But honestly man I really shoulda seen the signs

I was blind no I couldn’t read in between the lines

I was numb so I couldn’t feel my fever climb

But my whole system was foul (fowl) like comedic lines

No way to treat it fine

I staggered out like I was drinkin wine

I wasn’t even tryna think about of my plans for the evenin time

All I could think was I was weak and dyin

I was reminded of the life that I would leave behind

And so

I know it’s headed for me soon and I’m terrified

I’m afraid of what’s coming and I’m scared to die

But it ain’t lookin good for me, now it ain’t lookin good for me

I know it’s headed for me soon and I’m terrified

I’m afraid of what’s coming and I’m scared to die

But it ain’t lookin good for me, now it ain’t lookin good for me

Now I got home and it hit me in the worst way

I’ve been sick with this disease since my birthday

I was ridden with symptoms since my first day

Head to toe my whole system in the worst state

I was mentally ill, I was futilely mind

Darkened in my understanding was a student of crime

Havin eyes couldn’t see cause I was truthfully blind

Havin ears couldn’t hear but couldn’t do any signs

Throat was an open grave, tongue used for the lies

Snake venom under lips which I would use to divide

Had chips on my shoulders was wounded aside

Both my lungs collapsed inhalin 2nd hand pride

Below the waist was just more of the same

Feet swift to shed blood or somethin more was to gain

Man it’s bad blood simply pourin through my veins

Can’t ignore it anymore, ain’t the story the same, I was in pain so

My whole life been exposed as dark

My disease had my deeds hittin off the mark

But I had loved my illness even from the start

Look everything was a symptom of my broken heart

It pumped corruption to every single part of me

Its pumped death and deception through arteries

My direction was set to invest in reflect n deception

Threat n my best n my death wasn’t far from me

Cause I tried to beat the symptoms now

It wouldn’t matter cause my heart would keep me livin foul

I was helpless and hopeless it’s endin now

Unless I get a new heart well this is how

I heard that there were others with the same plight

But there was One begotten Son who can save life

And His heart was so perfect He gave life

My heart of stones been exchanged I’ve been changed right?

I know it’s headed for me soon and I’m terrified

I’m afraid of what’s coming and I’m scared to die

But it ain’t lookin good for me now it ain’t lookin good for me

I was told that God’s standard is so high.

My broken heart kept me from meetin

His standard, so I just kept fallin short over and over and overagain.

And there was really nothing I could do, it was not looking good for me.

I guess my question for you is, since God’s standard is perfection and none of

us meet it, how do you plan on getting by?

I know how I do, and to be honest I

ain’t worried about a thang
