Songtexte Chapter 29 - John Givez

A player had a change of heart
Changes start, In Chapter 29 of Jeremiah

I lay alone in my room weary and wounded wondering where God is
Living my life godless for too long
I tried it and I am try to just bribe Him with the sweet prayers of my mama but luck done ran out
I'm a southern California playalistic rebel with no cause
I think my soul's lost somewhere between captivity and captivation
My situation is sh-
I'm facing this complex
Excuse my language but don't take this here out of context
You in my room, where I do what I do to get by
God I hope you don't mind if I read this Bible and get high like that song Kush & Corinthians say
Will you take me as I am?
I can't be nobody else but my damn self
And I landed on Chapter 29
In the book of Jeremiah
11, and I ain't no reverend
But this here say you got plans for me
Do you got plans for me?

I cannot reach ya
(I turned it to the page it was Chapter 29)
I stained the picture
(Turned it to the page it was Chapter 29)
I gave you time
(I turned it to the page it was Chapter 29)
Turn to chapter 29
(Turned it to the page it was Chapter 29)
I cannot reach ya
(I turned it to the page it was Chapter 29)
I stained the picture
(Turned it to the page it was Chapter 29)
I gave you time
(I turned it to the page it was Chapter 29)
Turn to chapter 29
(Turned it to the page it was Chapter 29)

A lot of people saying they can hear God
Never scared but they saying I should fear God
Staring at the ceiling feeling hopeless
All alone, can you tell me if you're near God?

Now God I don't mean no disrespect
I got baggage and I don't know how to let it go just yet
I know I'm a sinner
I know the devil see me as dinner
I know there's levels to this
When I look at my life and how I was raised I know I'm better than this
But see the cards been dealt
I need your help to play this hand
I'd pray to you everyday if I got to and tell the homies about your plan
And they probably gon' laugh at me but that's cool
I'll show them how you
Found a wretched vessel to use
Bless me with tools
Take me anywhere you want me to go
Matter fact, show me everything you want me to know
Oh my soul
I rebel against hell
And try my best to live well
And if I fail
Pick me up again God

I cannot reach ya
(I turned it to the page it was Chapter 29)
I stained the picture
(Turned it to the page it was Chapter 29)
I gave you time
(I turned it to the page it was Chapter 29)
Turn to chapter 29
(Turned it to the page it was Chapter 29)
I cannot reach ya
(I turned it to the page it was Chapter 29)
I stained the picture
(Turned it to the page it was Chapter 29)
I gave you time
(I turned it to the page it was Chapter 29)
Turn to chapter 29
(Turned it to the page it was Chapter 29)

All the gangstas, get down
All the hustlers, get down
All the players, get down
It's a war for your soul
What now?

All the gangstas, get down
All the hustlers, get down
All the players, get down
It's a war for your soul
What now?

What now? It's a war for your soul

Far from here, we can go far
Far from here, we can go far
We can roll
We can go
We can stroll
