Problems 
I'on't know what i'd do without 'em
I'd be a fool to try to solve them
I'd rather be jumping off the ladder

Everybody got a couple of 'em 
It's why my brother turned to the oven 
Imagine yo parent never giving lovin'
And they wonder why the block gets the hugging 

My silver spoon came with a dark side 
Smokers and the pokers had they souls tied 
Thank God for great granny 
She was all pride
Only leaning she did was on the Lord side

A little hard to eat when a lots on your plate 
Wasn't born with the sauce 
So i had to raise the stakes 
By any means is attached to my fate 
We only bent the law so our pockets could be straight 

Clothes in the sink 
Her soul on the stove 
It's getting hard think 
Grand daddy getting old 
Can't just dream
Prayers gotta be bold 
You better learn to fight 
Or it's gon be ..

I use to Pray He'd mek my problems disappear 
Until i saw a shift in my atmosphere 
Looking for a sign led me on assignment 
A lot of time in solitary confinement 
I used to be at war with God's timing 
But then i saw how real pressure made diamonds 
Expensive / behind the glass is my alignment 
So you will never find my soul on consignment 

Yuh cyan want it in de glass and de bottle too 
If you want 'em in the stands, then you gotta fall through 
Failing is a stage / curtain calls on cue 
Gotta pull up from the line 
To be the mike in ya crew 

If you wanna get this 
You gotta go through that 
If He didn't say no 
Then you couldn't spin back 
Winning posture in tact 
I think we better get back 
It's best when we let Him 
Work it out 
I get it 

Our problems keep us closer to You 
Every door you closed made me open to You 
(i get it)
What looked like disappointment was protection 
So i thank You everyday for my lessons 
(i get it)
My hardship was really heavy Blessing 
(i get it, i get it .)
