"Gospel" + lyrics

Here's the newest song I've done. I wrote and composed this in two days (my quickest song if I'm correct). The lyrics reflect the emotions I've been experiencing lately and how I rely on God to help me get through what I feel are rough times. Like I said, I wrote, composed, and produced this song in my basement. Keep posted to see when my album, Against All Odds, will be released!






Gospel by Chris Black

Yup. I'm gonna go ahead and speak what's on my
mind real quick if that's alright. I'm just tired of losing
this game, you know? I've just decided to be strong
from here on out and that's what I'm gonna do.

Wicked men have wicked ways, go figure.
As long as they're just getting paid, they won't listen.
You tell 'em all that wisdom pays, they don't get you.
They don't understand you, they don't see your picture.
Cause they neglect their own bible;
Say they won't depend on something fake for survival.
"If something can't be seen how can it be followed?"
But I've seen the light of God and that's why I sing gospel.
I've tasted tears and I've faced my fears;
Tried to stay strong when temptation's near.
If your faith is clear, Christ said you could make the mountains move
But I made the Appalachians disappear, they ain't here.
But I don't waste time crying.
I know that one day I'll be in the sky flying.
I've learned a lot of things from my big brother Ryan,
Like "get busy living, or get busy dying," that's what he said.

I'm gon' fight and die for my right to life.
I'm gon' fight the good fight and I know I'll survive.
I know I will find another way to get by.
Just remember I tried everyday of my life.

Try hard not to go insane.
Feel like nobody could ever really know my pain.
And once again, the rain clouds come my way.
I haven't even seen the sun in nine days
But hey, what can I say? This is what Ohio's like.
One minute low, the next minute high life.
I'm 'bout to blow but tell me is the time right?
Too much green guess that's why it's called the lime light.
Yeah, Devyn told me he would be my psycologist
If and when I make it big and I might need it, man, this college shit
Might put me over the edge with this music, how can I balance it?
Lot's of hits to bang that's why I'm on the roster, bitch.
But I know that if it keeps on raining
All I'll have to do is just keep on praying.
And even if my fucking back starts breaking
I'll just keep on saying Chris Black is amazing.

I'm gon' fight and die for my right to life.
I'm gon' fight the good fight and I know I'll survive.
I know I will find another way to get by.
Just remember I tried everyday of my life.

But it hurts to know the things I do will never be the same.
And I think it's time I leave my cage and break these chains.
But I know that if it keeps on raining (keeps on raining)
All I'll have to do is keep on praying (keep on praying).
So pray as if your whole life depends on God,
But work like it depends on you.
And I'm out.

I'm gon' fight and die for my right to life.
I'm gon' fight the good fight and I know I'll survive.
I know I will find another way to get by.
Just remember I tried everyday of my life.

I'm gon' fight and die for my right to life.
I'm gon' fight the good fight and I know I'll survive.
I know I will find another way to get by.
Just remember I tried everyday of my life.
