Oo - oo - oo - oo
Woa - oh - oh - oh
Mm - oh - oo
You ever felt like your dreams were never gonna come to pass
Try to run a race, but you're always last
Never find a little peace, gotta sign another lease
Feeling like a little boy trynna be a man
And you done came so far
But don't nobody care who you are
But mamma always said you a star
Pay no never mind, boo
They did not design you
Trust and let Him guide you
Gotta keep your head up
Even when them burdens get you fed up
I know you been trynna get your bread up
It seem like everybody runnin' but they sped up
And you been wondering if it ever gone get better
It's steady storming but you need some sunny weather
And you been prayin' hard trynna keep it all together
And it's been way too long trynna fly with broken feathers
I'm just trynna make it for my grandkids
Trynna show 'em what a man is
So every day I'm asking God what the plan is
And if He see my broken heart, can He mend it
I need some healing for these scars, can You heal it
Every Black boy wants that daddy who will come back
Prayers up for every little girl who don't know that
Know that he gone cling to every word that you throw back
He gone get you more than you deserve never hold back
And he might push away, baby give him space
Might just hold on to his feelings, don't know what to say
Give him patience, give him love, give him plenty grace
And let him know that you've been grateful for that dinner plate
And you can see that he ain't cheatin' when he goes away
And you can tell he really mean it, he won't go astray
He's still believing in Jesus, but he feelin' fain't
Tell him look up
Where my help comes from
That's where my help comes from
That's where my help comes from, yeah
That's where my help comes from, yeah yeah yeah
That is where my help comes from
That's where my help comes from
That's where my help comes from, yeah
That's where my help comes from, yeah yeah yeah
Oo - oo - oo - oo
Woa - oh - oh - oh
Mm - oh - oo
