I'm walking 23rd to Madison Seems like nothing's been happening lately Lady said I need a rain check Cuz I ain't have a hit yet so Scrap it all I'm back to basics Questioning I'll ever make it But I got lightning in my veins And I bleed it on the page Yet I can't seem to stay inspired I don't know what's wrong with my mind I can't help it All I know is I'm doing my best So save your prayers I don't need them They won't give me freedom All that's got to come from within Been a dream since I was ten years old Wish I had that same fire kindling Had a couple gut checks A few of them chipped my soul More than I'd care admit Though I forged a head in spite of it Oh I really got to say I give it all every day Yet the ceiling only seems to get higher I don't know what's wrong with my mind I can't help it All I know is I'm doing my best So save your prayers I don't need them They won't give me freedom All that's got to come from within And I know I'm in control But some days it's hard to recognize I don't know what's wrong with my mind I can't help it All I know is I'm doing my best So save your prayers I don't need them They won't give me freedom All that's got to come from within
