But the Devils taken over
No matter how hard I try
I can never stay sober
I'm drunk off the Devil's lies
And his deceit keeps me full
Many times when I get mad
It's hard to keep my cool
Curse words flow out my mouth
And my temper starts to rise
I try to remember the Lord's word
At night when I close my eyes
First I repent
Cause I know that I have sinned
Then I pray for forgiveness
For yelling at my friends
I thank the Lord for
The days and the nights that he gave me
He's had a plan for me
Every since I was a little baby
There were times
When I knew that I should be gone
But God knew
That it wasn't time for me to come home
I haven't fulfilled my purpose
And that's to teach teens the Gospel
But instead I'm getting caught up
And becoming Lucifer's Apostle
See, the Devil knows my weakness
And he uses that against me
But no longer will I suffer
Cause God's the only key.
