Balance

from What's A Man to Do? by Alcott

lyrics

Verse 1:
Blessings are dangerous they’ll morph into some idols quickly
Make my heart lukewarm until my mind get shifty
When life gets iffy you can find me prayin constant
But when I’m feelin less alone I’m prone to Put down the Bible swiftly
And I’m just tryna get priorities straight
Seems like people only give advice I already take
Its all really vague
And they just always spew the same banter
Same Standards
Please someone Can I get a straight answer
How much time should I devote to scripture
How much to prayer
How much to friends and fam
I’m Tryna build up my career
I’m tryna live a dream so how can I sleep?
I’m still standing at the bottom of this mountainous peak
And at the top I think I’ll find what I need
But I don’t know if that’s factual
Actually rational
God when did we get so Transactional
Damn
And how’d I get so disorganized?
How’d I surrender to the things I had swore to fight?

Hook:
I just need balance
I just need truth
I just need to see this from a bird’s eye view
I just I just need wisdom
If ima follow you
Need to understand that there’s some things I gotta lose
I just I just need balance


I just need my head on straight
I been bass ackwards for a minute now
Voices Living in my brain I need to kick the tenants out
It’s gettin loud
And what they say is all conflicting, how
Can I sift thru all the BS till I’m left with what’s important
Informing decisions
By instinct
And hoping that fortune
Will Favor me
Laboring
Aimlessly
It seems tho
Cuz I can’t figure where my time best spent
Uncertainty lately been my best friend
Look
Oh Lord what’s a man to do
With all the issues that I ran into
If I can’t do what I planned to do
I might take more shots than a camera crew
But
that’s just selfish
That won’t help with
Anything but forgetting
I been given these goals for a reason
So why’s it seeming
Like you ain’t assisting consistent
And keeping distance persistent
Lord which intentions and desires should I resist against picking
Cuz if time is money I can’t fall for every sales pitch
need to know the right angle for the scale tip
