knees bent down to the earth

Am
G
never did I heed the word
Too much weed on my brain,
got me slurrin' at my words
A
Tryna take the start I got,
Am

flip it to a couple birds
Those used to be my thoughts,
A
G
used to post a couple curves

I still hear your voice talkin' to me like
Uh -huh, extra runnin' your house,
Lookin' for refuge
Now I'm sharin' with my kids
And tellin' them to
To my shorties
Especially you, Tranice.

If you're going to use it,
you know what I want you to do,
right? Sing for Jesus.
Outro 1
