Can I Be Honest

[Verse 1: Antwoine Hill]
Man, what if I told you that
Everything ain't always good
And at times I ain't got it
Would you lift me up in prayer or laugh at me and gossip?
I'm just bein' honest, you ain't the only wit problems
Everyday ain't shrimp and steaks, at times, we had to share McDonalds
And when you da man, doin' everything you can
At times, you tell your children no, and they don't really understand
I been through all of this before, to some it ain't relatable
First, let me say I'm grateful, God is faithful, but I'm human though
Don't wanna let my wifey down, so, feelins' I internalize
Hop inside my car and drive, don't wanna let her see me cry
I know she got my back, and though I'm strong, at times it's hеavy though
You told me, cast my burdens, God, I'm hurtin'
So, I let You know

[Chorus: Mo Grant]
Can I bе honest?
I'm gettin' lost in the thoughts in my head
And, I'm wonderin' when, is it over
Can I be honest?
Feelin' like, life's weighing me down
And, I'm feelin' the weight on my shoulders
I'm tryin' not to lose myself
Can I be honest?
I could really, really use your help
Can I be honest?

[Verse 2: Antwoine Hill]
Mentally, it's one thing, spiritually, it's different though
God said, He would be with me, I just need to trust Him mo'
I wrote this song, so you would know
You are not in this alone
And, everything in life's a test, put there so that you would grow
I know how those thoughts can be
Tellin' you to, 'live it up'
You'll never be enough for God, you just need to give it up
I sat there in that seat at church, sayin' I'm gon' take my life
God, I need to hear from You, or I'm gon' follow through tonight
But, do you know, He values you, gave up strength to power you
Would prob'ly be devoured if that coward, Satan, got to you
But, God is sovereign, Abba, He's your father, man I promise you
If you can just be honest, He'll show up and take those problems too

[Chorus: Mo Grant]
Can I be honest?
I'm gettin' lost in the thoughts in my head
And, I'm wonderin' when, is it over
Can I be honest?
Feelin' like, life's weighing me down
And, I'm feelin' the weight on my shoulders
I'm tryin' not to lose myself
Can I be honest?
I could really, really use your help
Can I be honest?
