MUSIC FOR SALE

If you were given a second chance...
Would you do better? Or the same as before?
I can’t blame God anymore.
I was given the opportunity to do more... but I failed.
Look.

I took my blessings and threw them into the wind
I blew each and every one of them, yeah, time and again.
I know for a fact God is real, nothing can change that
Because the reality is surreal.
Day after day, meal after meal, anything appealing I had to have.
I was given a second chance, but not the last laugh.
Had a vision of the righteous path—how long did that last?
Changed my ways to what felt best, wrong decision, still failed the test.
The S on my chest was replaced with peace,
Now it’s just emotional mush underneath.
When it’s time to face the music, at least I can admit I was wrong.
I wrote, sung, and produced the song.
Can’t blame anyone if they just went along.

Do you think I can get a third chance?
Do you think God will agree and believe me
That this time will be different?
What does God see in me? He doesn’t owe me anything.
Because He already helped me...
I don’t feel pity on myself, I just have doubt about myself.

What’s more important—health or wealth? If you had to choose one?
I’ve experienced the gain and loss of each, till the point I had none.
But I also had both at the same time, health and wealth.
The boy done lost his mind.
I worked to be poor, begged God every day for more.
What did I do that for, if I wasn’t going to do right?
Smart as hell but just not as bright.
I will pray day and night for a third chance, another opportunity.
Please, let’s try again. I confess my sin, I repent.
It wasn’t my intent to mess up my second chance, but it happened.
Money and romance... too much yapping.
Not enough of being a captain of my own ship.
I promise Lord, I will close my lips.

I thank you for all of it. I did benefit from the experience.
Going through this remembrance of how my life was...
All just because of... well, at this point we all know who.
I’m not blaming You for what I do,
I’m acknowledging You gave me that too.
And that was the blessing, one of a few.

Another blessing that I blew.
Even gave me number two... so fresh and new.
I still don’t know what I thought I knew.
I’m asking for a third chance...
To be a better me.
For You... and me.
