Life, Love, and Faith - Y Lam

I used to hop picket fences drop into the next crib

Dodge speedin' benzes to get to where to my friends lived

Now it's pullin' out whips from the crib

Tryna shine mad problems when everything's so expensive

My life i'm tryna find a way to live it

Surrounded by b******t deal with it every minute

'Cause homies'll hate you but they'll never admit it

I'm just tryna find the straight path leading to the finish

It's hard to find something worth believing in these days

Troubles got me thinkin' of returning to thief ways

Night terrors always making me sleep late

Maybe all the drama is the reason that we blaze

Cops claim permission to use light force

Put your face on the pavement your new white forces

Covered in mud a mom's tears thicker than blood

I guess even in the midst of darkness there's good huh

What's the meaning of life if there aint love

And nobody to trust when u need it

There are many things in the world u see

But it just aint what it seems

So i keep on fighting for my dreams

Take a step with my feet

Following my heartbeat

Praise the one for the life love and faith

I remember holdin' onto crushes tryna be sweet

I used to stumble on my words whenever that girl speak

And so i'd put it down in letters on some looseleaf sheets

I would've traded anything for just a kiss on the cheek

And now bigger dreams tryna get on tv

But even with exposure will the right girl see me

The nice kind of girl they don't ever believe me

And the other type of chick give it up way too easy

But get caught up you get slowed down

I need a lady raisin' me up and holdin' me down

It's hard to find something genuine now

Instead of momentary passions happening when you're in town

I'm sick of kisses that are less intimate than a hug

They lack sentiment kinda like the stems of a bud

But every once in a while it feel the way that it should

I guess even in the midst of nothing there's love huh

What's the meaning of life if there aint love

And nobody to trust when u need it

There are many things in the world u see

But it just aint what it seems

So i keep on fighting for my dreams

Take a step with my feet

Following my heartbeat

Praise the one for the life love and faith

I seen light in this tunnel shining mad bright

But the shining's gone dim and i been stuck in that night

Illumination gave me vision let me see what was right

But now illumination's missing and i've lost my sight

A little lost in this darkness needing some changing

I had sight then i lost it but His grace is amazing

Still i'm struck with guilt at times the feeling is ancient

Don't know how much longer i can say that this doesn't faze me

After introspection i can see why they blame me

Looking back i wonder if it's really the same me

And certain insecurities are picking me daily

Man i've hurt so many girls pissed 'cause this one played me

Homies betrayed me left me for good

So i'm shaky what's faker than a false brotherhood

Only Jesus can save me need help from above

I know even in the midst of hate God is love what

What's the meaning of life if there aint love

And nobody to trust when u need it

There are many things in the world u see

But it just aint what it seems

So i keep on fighting for my dreams

Take a step with my feet

Following my heartbeat

Praise the one for the life love and faith

What's the meaning of life if there aint love

And nobody to trust when u need it

There are many things in the world u see

But it just aint what it seems

So i keep on fighting for my dreams

Take a step with my feet

Following my heartbeat

Praise the one for the life love and faith
