Lessons Lyrics by Neuma

Dual Citizen

2018

Lessons learned are hard and stern
Many times forget mind let the heart discern
Clouded judgment, I’m unfit, just letting time confirm
With the movement of the hands watch the calendar turn
Emotions overflow though I try to take it slow
So for those who’re in the know let the Spirit take control
‘Cause the actions of today resonate tomorrow
And at times the reaction is a painful sorrow
But wait
My heart is most deceptive
So I call the Spirit down just to help correct
But as collective my mind, body and soul are most receptive to his call
Determined not to fall though the enemy expect
Irrespective of his plans to demean my persona
I’ve got a smile on like I’m Lisa the Mona
Tears fall as my heart is broken and educated
But I flip so His name is spoken and celebrated

Through the ups and downs
Be sure to take the blessing
Let go of the pain yo
But never lose the lesson
Though we don't know tomorrow
We gotta seize the moment
Smarter and stronger
To destroy the opponent

Young, dumb, but different
Thought myself gifted
Thought I’d be found with the wheat when the chaff was sifted
Uplifted by the word I heard
But when tested and observed
Often deferred to what my flesh preferred
Now the learning curve resembles a slope
My only hope is to cling to word that you inspired and wrote
Honestly I thought I’d have more time to mess around
But when you’re busy planning, that’s when your life goes down
A wedding gown in my present eyesight
Long before I’d envisioned it with my eyesight
Who would’ve thought when I was acting imbecilic
God would enliven my life’s canvas like an artist with acrylic
Can’t mimic an agape like that
I was swallowing camels, just trying to strain the gnat
Looking back I learn the lessons
Correlate the facts
Graft my character
Get ready for attack

Through the ups and downs
Be sure to take the blessing
Let go of the pain yo
But never lose the lesson
Though we don't know tomorrow
We gotta seize the moment
Smarter and stronger
To destroy the opponent

Longtime, thought I’d forgiven but the pain lingers longer
Buried beneath tough skin the anger grows stronger
Takes root, but I bring it to the light in the truth
In the UV rays
Don’t take flight from the feeling but observe God’s ways
Examples soiled, disheartened when I reflect
Wish I could’ve made a difference
Connect with the Spirit making faith resurrect
Make war with the flesh and keep the nature in check
Retrospect vision is 20/20
Would’ve told you “put your money in your mouth
So your speech is worth something when it ain’t sunny”
And speak your heart, don’t veil it with attempts to be funny yo
I'd rather see what’s on your mind than a Youtube video
What I learned from the lesson: speak up when your friend’s half-stepping
Less than 100% leaves gaps for the enemies weapons
Don’t compromise in your walk
Stay living out what you talk

Through the ups and downs
Be sure to take the blessing
Let go of the pain yo
But never lose the lesson
Though we don't know tomorrow
We gotta seize the moment
Smarter and stronger
To destroy the opponent
