about

It ain't

lyrics

All the strength in the world and I can't lift my mood
Got foresight around every turn and I can see my doom
When winter comes and it gets cold, you say you'll never leave
Finished school so long ago but you're still testing me
Hosanna in the highest shall bless those who abideth by faith
Sometimes it's hard to focus on you especially when life keeps pulling in two directions

I know I'm lost but sometimes I don't wanna be found
It almost feels pointless trying to get up after falling down
Know you try to talk to me but I'm still not sure what I'm listening for
Feel like I don't know you at all though I've been riding with you since I was four

I know you come in a small voice but I think I need more
Something less intangible to quell doubts in my soul
The way they use you to justify all of their hate just don't sit right
If someone were to testify that you said I should leap, I don't think I'd be quite there
Hosanna in the highest shall bless those with their mind set on Christ
Don't always want to devote my time to know you especially
When life keeps pulling in two directions

I know I'm lost but sometimes I don't wanna be found
Sometimes it feels pointless trying to get up after falling down
Always take ten steps back whenever I consider moving forward
I guess I'm still unsure what exactly you love me for

Yo this ain't another gospel song to bump in your car
It's just me before the Lord with all the pain in my heart
Trying to jump over my hurdles, don't know which line is start
Oh
Though this ain't another gospel song, I'm down on my knees
Cuz I don't feel you right next to me, my head's in the trees
So if anybody's up there listening to my pleas
Oh

Just trust in me, you know I love you unconditionally
Don't care about your past all that I see
Is a child who should just rest in me
Forget about your stress (Come rest in me)
Forget about your pain (Give it to me)
Forget about your fear (I've conquered it)
And when the way's unclear, don't doubt, I'm here

Emil Beckford Buffalo, New York

I'm a Buffalo-based alt electronic soul singer/songwriter/producer trying to make music that won't bore me in 5 years. I love synths, fake jazz chords, and singing higher than my vocal chords want me to. I draw inspiration from soul artists, masters of harmony, gospel icons, people who just make you feel some kind of way, and everyone in between. ... more
