These Days

[Verse 1]
Yeah, these days I'm weighin’ it different
When I pray, I'm praying He listens
You paying attention?
I make a distinction
I don't just say it but actually live it
I got a cousin who stay in the in the trenches
And it’s weighin' on me, all this drama, it's stayin' on me
And my lady, she laying on me
All I'm thinkin' is how could I miss it?
Man am I losin' my hope?
Maybe so, I'm cuttin’ it close
Hang it up then give me the rope
Give me room to grow as I go, uh
I wanna live it exposed, so these day I ain’t strollin'
I go to get on my toes ’cause ain't nothin' else that can hold 'em

[Chorus]
These days I pray to God, I hope that He hear me
These days it may be odd but I’m feelin' weary
These days I love to call but I don't see clearly
These days man nothin' at all could ever prepare for
These days I pray to God, I hope that He hear me
These days it may be odd but I'm feelin' weary
These days I love to call but I don't see clearly
These days man nothin' at all could ever prepare for these days

[Verse 2]
I wake up and cry again
Look at my daughter, two eyes
I'm seeing why I think I should try again
But depression is shootin' and firin'
All the pressure I'm facin' is tiring
The pressure to make it, I'm sounding complacent
But never evasive or violent
If you knew what I'm facin' in silence
But I own it
Each morning I wake up and focus
Could be carried away in a moment
So I carry the weight on my shoulders
All of the barriers made for the chosen
Look at my agony there in the open
Walkin' up after that thought was unbroken
Uh, forget what I thought 'cause these days I just wanna be home
Belief, I just wanna be free
My thoughts they ain't control a thing, they ain't holdin' me
And these days I just wanna be heard
Is God still holding me?
'Cause these days I just wanna retreat
But no one else can be, don't you see?

[Chorus]
These days I pray to God, I hope that He hear me
These days it may be odd but I'm feelin' weary
These days I love to call but I don't see clearly
These days man nothin' at all could ever prepare for
These days I pray to God, I hope that He hear me
These days it may be odd but I'm feelin' weary
These days I love to call but I don't see clearly
These days man nothin' at all could ever prepare for these days

[Outro]
Ayy, these days
I wasn't prepared for these days
I wasn't prepared for these days
I'm full of fear these days
I should be strong, but I'm lonely
I should be well, but I'm weary
I should be far from this place now
Jesus can you come and save me?
Ayy, these days
I wasn't prepared for these days
I'm cryin' hard these days
I'm shedding tears these days
I just wanna love you more and more
Love you more and more
These days
Oh, these days
