You’re in tune to The Suffering Servant
I made this LP cause something was burnin
Inside of me (cause) I know others are hurtin
For certain, brothers are troubled, and I’m burdened
I know you all suffer, you’re not choosin it
It’s not humerous, you’re confused wit it
But the comforts in Christ are numerous! (2 Corinthians 1:5)
So I refuse to spit bout foolishness
Depression, rejection, famine, disease
Oppression, dejection, cancerous genes
The agony and misery, scandalous deeds
In depravity, iniquity man is conceived (Psalm 51:5)
Adam in Eve, vexed in our futility
Mental disabilities, we wrestle with injury
Aggression brings rape, it’s putrid for sure
Weapons from hate, there’s rumors of wars
Katrina, Nine Eleven, I’m weepin when I mention
People got dementia; I’ll keep my mind on heaven
We’re killin our babes, revealin this age
Filled with this rage, illness and AIDS
Miserable days, some blind deaf and mute
Guys get to shoot, kids die in their youth
Racism, fake Christians, there’s genocide
Hate victims, face prison and sent to die
Conditions inflictin prescription descriptions
Afflictions, addictions, assist in conviction
Torn in a mess, from thorns in the flesh
Mourn and we stress, abortions bring death
Abnormal with breaths, asthma attacks
With scorn and contempt, get stabbed in the back
The curses alluding to earth’s pollution
The church is losin, saints- persecution
Mammis in birth pain, but miscarriaged
Tsunamis and earthquakes, it gets scary
Boys get killed, oil spills, obvious accidents
Ladies in Haiti die, but God’s compassionate!
Lonely, defeated, plus physical strain
Show me this Jesus who’s feelin our pain!
Playin the lottery but stayin in poverty
Things taken in robberies we’re prayin for God to see
The pain that it’s causin me, we scream for a while
God HAS a purpose and reason for trials
They strengthen and mold us, refined by the fire (1 Peter 1:7)
Placin our whole trust in Christ the Messiah!
This list is small there’s much more to mention
“Why do we suffer?” and those sorta questions
Will be addressed if you peep my whole album
I pray you’ll be blessed by the final outcome!
