Song Lyrics: Psalms 88 (Visualizer) by Jackie Hill Perry
I be going through the most
Y’all be going just to boast
Y’all be going just to toast
Y’all be breaking bread
Yeah, my mama fed
Daddy got on him a robe
It’s Brandy when she was Kobe
I’m hanging on the side of the boat
I’m tossing the diamond, ain’t finding the rose
You calling me Jackie, I’m feeling like Job
What happens when praying don’t cope?
What happens when saying I’m cold?
Maybe I’m Anna and Elsa, maybe I’m froze
Maybe the daily is prose
Maybe it’s murder she wrote
It’s killing me
I’m feeling the enemy more than the Trinity
This ain’t for sympathy
Yeah, now I’m writing out that song to you
Oh God, oh God
Father show me your heart as you perform time
Let my prayer rise to you
Lord hear my cry
Give me faith to shoot these arrows in the dark
I got me some mini-mes
They walking and talking like mommy
I’m trying to remind them that time is a runner
Sha’ Carri, my fear it is near and it’s gunna for me
Trigger finger, Kate Spade, Bourdain, Robin Williams
It’s a wonder to be
Alive
Hard is the way to life
Maybe ’cause we got a vice
Maybe ’cause we gotta vibe
When it’s time to die
Every single night
I don’t gotta get high
All I gotta do is swipe
Mind is a busy body
Mind floating like a kite
I’ma grab it from the sky
Ask my Daddy if he has it
Can he make it happy?
Can he make it light?
Abba, can you make it right?
I don’t wanna take its life
But it’s telling me to go with it
Don’t control, just roll with it
Mind broken, just fix it
It’s twisted, my soul did it
And that trauma from mama, I know in it
Abba, Bible, and Yebba is goals
My mind is a rebel, it goes
The devil is testing us, hold
The blessedness next to the chest ’til it knows
The reverence, the hope
I know it’s a hope
This ain’t killing me
I’m feeling the Trinity more than the enemy
This ain’t for sympathy
Yeah, now I’m writing out that song to you
Oh God, oh God
Father show me your heart as you perform time
Let my prayer rise to you
Lord hear my cry
Give me faith to shoot these arrows in the dark
Way before BC
You ain’t no CC
God of love ain’t no way
You gon’ stop, you walk on the sea
And you welcome me into heaven
Thank you for the cross, but I find joy when I cry to you
Cause you put my head closer to your heart
When I’m down hopeless, I need a cope lens
I remind myself, You never fall
