Obstacles

[Intro]
You can't say no weapon formed against you shall prosper
Then fold up when it get hard
Let's go after it

[Verse 1]
Life was pretty rough for a minute there
The status of your sanity was in the air
Almost impossible not to consume hate
When bad luck is living with you like a roommate
The clouds got dark and started rumbling
The rain from the outside was coming in
You're trying not to panic but that's the case
The water got higher, it was at your waist
It's hell now but I ain't got to tell you that
It's closing in on me, God where you at?
You're hurting for some bread, looking at your son
That lil' 9 to 5 just ain't getting it done
Your partner's make your weeks pay in half a day
Promise your baby mama not to get it that way
Life's circumstances make it kinda hard to trust
We always remember God is a part of us

[Hook] x2
We overcoming obstacles and letting blessings in
I heard somebody say success is the best revenge
If you utilise the talent that was put in you
You can master everything they said you couldn't do

[Verse 2]
See, all you wanna do is make the drama die
Your daddy never claimed you and your mama's high
It's hard to trust people, you afraid of help
With no parents around so you raised yourself
All your life people shooting slugs at you
Every time you take a step they knock you back two
Your house was like hell; years, days and months
Next door neighbours' living like the Brady Bunch
Wish you could've went to school and do something great
But sometimes you barely ate and couldn't concentrate
"You ain't nothing but a loser" that's what people said
You ain't evil but you hustling for illegal bread
You resorted to the streets and started getting love
'Cus the thugs was the only folks who didn't judge
And even though you might have one or two stripes
Deep in your heart you know there's greater purpose for your life

[Hook] x2

[Verse 3]
You can't let your dreams shrivel up, or burst and die
Just because it didn't happen on the first try
Or the second, or the third, or the fourth time
Diamonds don't define greatness, let your heart shine
You keep running up on these locked doors
Accept God's version of a blessing not yours
We don't always know what's best so trust in him because
You don't even know yourself better than he does
Satan's cup is full of hate so let the evil drink
You too grown to worry about what other people think
Spiritual war try to make your higher conscious win
Even if the Devil do get a few punches in
And we can heal to the fullest soon
If we stop putting band-aids on bullet wounds
Addressing problems from the root'll make you sober quick
And watch how strong you get once it's over with

[Hook] x2

[Outro]
