Mistakes

Narration: ZIGGY SMALLS

Wait , how long you been working on your dream?
And do dont got anything to show for?
That’s all you got to show?
And often times, some people
In fact most people stop when they don't see instant results
But regardless of what happens along the way , you have to keep watering your dream

CHORUS:
Some people wanna pray the rain away
Some people wanna take the pain away
If you ask me, I wouldn’t change a thing
I just don’t wanna make the same mistakes

VERSE 1:
I was taught to learn from who came before us
Taking notes, I studied every single thing they taught us
Absorbing up every word like its a thesaurus
Picking up on behavior that isn't even for us
I mean there was love in my household, but what would happen when doors close , eventually made the house fold
Argue , no one could keep their mouth closed
Momma and poppa had issues that they couldn't resolve or outgrow
I had an outflow of anger in my heart then
Tried to protect my emotions but couldn’t guard them
Slightly confused cause my parents still got along
They love each other unconditionally right and wrong
Heavily influenced, partially traumatized
When you hurt, you don’t heal even if someone apologize
I apologize but had to share that, cause i'm aware that

CHORUS:
Some people wanna pray the rain away
Some people wanna take the pain away
If you ask me, I wouldn’t change a thing
I just don’t wanna make the same mistakes

VERSE 2:
God is the author
Which is why i don't falter
Weight on my shoulders made me stronger
Seventy five percent of life is how you respond in the fourth quarter
I wouldn't change a thing , im aware of what it would alter
My tale was tailored for me , it wouldn’t suit you
Im fit for this and pain is something i'm immune to
What life produces, you shouldn’t let it consume you
Sun is gonna shine regardless of what the moon do
Through all the darkness heart hardened from hardships
Love is war and its weapons could sink a large ship
Regardless, i vow that i won't abort ship
The rate i'm growing can’t be measured with a yardstick
But i'm still carrying baggage, and it's a heavy load
You can't hold on and move forward, you gotta let it go
If you don't fertilize your mind, it won't ever grow, i get it though

CHORUS:
Some people wanna pray the rain away
Some people wanna take the pain away
If you ask me, I wouldn’t change a thing
I just don’t wanna make the same mistakes

DURING THE HARD TIMES…
DURING THOSE TIMES WHEN YOU FAIL…
WHEN THINGS DIDN’T WORK OUT…

YOU’LL DISCOVER…
WHEN YOUR WORKING AT YOUR DREAM
IF YOUR FAITH IS HIGH AND YOUR INTENTIONS ARE PURE
THE DAY WILL COME WHEN YOU REAP A HARVEST…

CHORUS:
Some people wanna pray the rain away
Some people wanna take the pain away
If you ask me, I wouldn’t change a thing
I just don’t wanna make the same mistakes
