Human Overwhelm

Verse 1
I’m the type of guy to burn a candle when I write /
I like the inspiration from the flame it ignites /
A part of my spirit / It reminds me that God is inside /
Everything that I see / Now that’s my belief /
I know there are those that may think differently /
And as the rain showers fall on the spring time flowers /
There’s a lot going on in the garden these day’s /
Harvest times coming soon / Got an abundant bloom /
Anything is possible / Remember when I was a little man /
And started rapping / With ambitions to go ahead and make it happen /
The captain of my ship that’s what I’ve got to be /
When the winds are blowing heavy and I think that I am sinking /
I remember all my blessing gratitude fills my cup /
The attitude that I take on the day to day /
Is what’s going to go and pave my way /

Hook

Self-love, you gotta love your self /
To receive love or even receive help /
Self-love, you gotta love yourself to be capable of loving someone else

Verse 2

Fast Forward still want to find a rhyme with orange /
It’s never boring exploring new territory /
That was once foreign / Orbiting around my head /
Are always lyrics / A range of different ways I can arrange them /
So appealing / You see to me to be the alchemist I am /
I turn a lemon to lemonade / The currency for me from you /
That’s appreciation /
I am valuable gratitude I line it up with my attitude /
A couple tattoos remind that I’ve got the power to choose /
I’ve got an arrangement of tools /
That help me to feel good if I’m at a loss /
And if my vibes low / I connect with my soul /
I feel it coming yes I am aware /
And every day is different so I always prepare /
Never knowing where a typical day will take me /
And when I’m feeling human overwhelm / I breathe /

Verse 3

As a kid on December 25th my mother would work /
So I always missed Christmas /
I told my friends Santa was late /
And then a few days later Saint Nicolas was there /
Though I knew it wasn’t him and a kind of weird lie /
Guess it was fun but then again /
I kind of wish mom and dad told me /
It was them buying me gifts / It would have explained the over time /
And late night shifts / no complaining as an adult now /
It formed me to be who I am /
Thank you for that /
And as father I celebrate 12-25 as the day my son was born /
I felt it myself it transformed / Beyond my wildest imagination /
Truly amazing that we are the key / To the next generation /
So as I live my life / I remember that it starts inside
It’s got me feeling alive /
