Quick little verse to J. Cole's "Born Sinner".

Born Sinner

Uncomfortable PEACH-MIX (Andy Mineo Summer Remix Contest)

The first verse of this song was written 4 years ago. At the time I felt like there was no one in the world I could trust or depend on. I was bitter, angry and selfish. My attitude was "You don't owe me nothin' and I don't owe you either." All I had was myself and I thought that was all I needed. My friends and family had let me down and I was convinced God had done the same.

Fast forward a year or so and my thinking started to change. By the time I wrote this second verse I had realized that I let myself down too. The life that I worked so hard to build for myself wasn't as satisfying as I always thought it would be. I got what I asked for. I had no one but myself, but I didn't even like who I was.

People are going to fail us and we are going to fail ourselves. We're human and that's how life goes. But God never changes and His love never fails. He always hears us even though we rarely take time to stop and listen to Him. 

A lot of times we don't understand what He's doing, but He always has a plan and a purpose. I couldn't see it at the time, but I was always in His hands and every trial I went through was just a tool He used to shape me as a man.
