Reinvented

Written by H. Marshall

Hook

I'm not doin' the same things I'm used to /
I gave God my life for reinvention /
I came new with my way of thinking /
I let God change my life - its reinvention /
I'm back in the building /
New mission - new vision - new focus /
I limit my sinning /
I can't do all that old stuff I'm used to /
My life's in His hands - reinvented /


Verse 1

I'm in the process of reinvention / reworking the flow / constructing beats with a new mission / yep, a new vision / rebirth / a new beginning / clean/sober from sinning / that's wishful thinking / its me / standing in the need of prayer / a soldier with wounds to the heart / bullets from the Hater / I made the mistake of letting him get that inch / and he took it and ran / now its got me numb in the pinch / (I let him be my pimp) / putting this ministry on the bench / now I stand alone again / back to looking for answers / to the reason I'm frozen at this fork in the road / don't want to go left / the elevation is low / not right to go right / not doin' what I'm supposed / I only wish it was as simple as folding this case closed / but this is the beginning of another chapter in flows / where I rebuild from the damage of letting doubt get in / and restore the joy of knowing that Christ is in / side me while I'm living in this life of sin / gotta push it to the limit 'cuz I'm born to win / back to pickin' up my cross trying to walk with him / come again //

Verse 2

I don't know when I flow slow / I just flow / carry heavier burdens than Frodo / its deep in my soul / made my heart blacker than crows / and colder than Chicago winters / I was much more than a lowly sinner / a debut far from beginners / (after the Son Rise) I fell back to doin' it my way / should've too my own advice screaming "its time to pray" / instead of throwing half my life away trying to play / I got nerve trying to say I rep for Christ and I'm not / up in a church and I'm not / studying verses / I'm not even talking to God / I'm too busy flirting with death to pay attention / not even worshipping like I'm supposed to / I got used to / doing things I'm against / man I couldn't even get no flow through / 'till I let God do His thing / I'm so new / now I'm right back on the grind to show you / the God's got plans for ya boy p.O. dude / I told you //

Verse 3


I'm healed from sin-sickness / in the midst of the world's sinners / In the music business to wake up a witness / not perfect / but not where I was / I'm still a new creature / paid for by blood / fighting my old nature / that trusts only in self / that don't want to bless God / trying to chase the wealth / like life is all about paper / maybe that's why I'm still doin' these capers - hustlin' / trying to get these beats off / young brothas fight the world to get that work off / they don't know how much that hurt God / when we turn around to go disobey God / now we struggling / then we want to go blame God for suffering / steady tugging at the price of fame / while corporate influence elevate the game / I think its time we get back to God for intervention //


Repeat Hook (x2)
