God grant me patience to accept the things I cannot change To realize sometimes it's gon' be pain I need a smile to help me through the pain Sometimes in life I wish I could escape from reality When shit's too real Wish I could find a way to just not feel I wanna be in rage But somethin' inside of me says, "Peace, be still" You left people in this world who really need you And it's a few that's come and said they never leave you Some of them had to go or they were gonna bleed you They couldn't go to places life was gonna lead you There gon' be some days you gon' wish that you could throw it all away It's okay when you're goin' through to say that you're afraid So cliché to say that it's gon' be some better days But it won't always be this way So don't lose the faith Since we're bein' honest Losses always come with trauma Lost a sister and a brother But my nieces lost a father and a mama And I could relate Sometimes it's like I lost mine too Tryin' not to lose my mind, I'm so confused 'Cause I don't have a clue to what I'm gonna do But I know some blessings comin' Need some help to show these girls what it's gon' take to be a woman By the way I got fans who wanna know if music goin' away And a girl who feel abandoned so she abandoned me Thought she knew that lovin' me was not a holiday Needed your presence not a present, girl, on Christmas day Too many choices, too many ru-ooh-ules How do I find myself? I'm losin' you How could you not see what I'm goin' through? Not gonna beg you to stay around Took me a minute to realize All that I want you to be with me is honest Neither of us know what we wanted But all we knew is that we cared And now we painted was a moment You should know, just in a case When I walked away I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me And when I walked away I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me I got tired of holdin' water Slips right through your fingers We both end up drownin' It would hit the ground, the path would wash away Wash away I left footsteps in the ground (Ground) I left footsteps in the ground (Ground) I left footsteps on the ground Oh yeah I left footsteps on the ground Footsteps in the ground
