(Chorus)
(I just wanna get there)
God you making me better
You making me better
And You chose to do it however whenever whatever
(I just wanna get there)
(repeat 4x)

(Verse 1)
You don’t know what I’ve been through
you don’t know what I’ve been through
When the pain, cuts deep cuts deep
you would think it was jiu-jitsu
And me wanna meat from the a menu
instead of peps with the meat from the temple
Tellin me “to find joy in the midst”
This don’t seem that simple
Cause I do what I don’t want to do
what I do I do I what I want I do
what I do and I don’t do
cause it’s me not you
and it seems I’m not you
And I’m breeding my fruit
These are things that are not you
Seeing leaves that aren’t true [?]
Man..
Can’t fight the fight cause I’m too mad
The light to bright to drive you badge
My vision,
so distracted by tension
Condemnation placin’ faith in the weight of my sickness
life prescription distance, WAIT
my Physician is livin
“It’s finished” was the grace of my prison
the cake for the villas
I’m raised in His image
Some penicillin for the snake and his venom
I’m raised and I’m tempted
I’m race and I’m trippin’
Behavin like I wasn’t raised from the crypt
I gotta face it, I’m sick
Gotta face with me sit
waiting for me to see Jesus
gazing at His face till I get (get get)

(Chorus)
(I just wanna get there)
God you making me better
You making me better
And You chose to do it however whenever whatever
(I just wanna get there)
(repeat 4x)

(Verse 2)
you don’t know what we go through
you don’t know what we go through
See the rings
see the videos
see the means
see the dreams of the queens with a wish for the good life
really want to be a good wife
Really want to come home, wish it would have been a good night
But instead we had a fight, with a price
see a piece a piece of the wolf bite
I came home from that honeymoon
feelin high, feelin right, feelin like
our whole life was in front of us
till something nudge me ‘take a test’
Took the the test
it said, “yes”
I’m sayin, “naw this can’t be right.
Can’t recite. I’m tryin to live.
This can’t be life.
How am I a mother after 8 days of being a wife?”
I’m being invited to bring in a life
and I can’t focus on nothing else but me.
Till I realized, what’s living in me is gift
givin to me
from His wisdom
Livin
Swimming with fins, fishing with fin,
The shark, my hearts anxiety is bait tellin us…
“Wait, baby’s first name is ‘mistake’”
It’s a problem with the saints believe it
We slow dancin with sovereignty
till we gotta be
takin from this life like its robbery
we just pottery
the Joy is, that the clay is shape by Grace
and the Potter promised me that, “everything will work for good”
this ain’t lottery

(Chorus)
(I just wanna get there)
God you making me better
You making me better
And You chose to do it however whenever whatever
(I just wanna get there)
(repeat 4x)
