Moments Like This

‘cause the bigger I get the better I gotta dress
And the more people I gotta address
Which leads to more stress and less time with people that I love most
Here’s an up close look at this cut throat
Business that will rip out your heart like an artichoke
You read the article heard what the artist wrote
Especially the part about life callin audibles
Now you blind-sided like L.T. did to Theisman
Say goodbye to your dreams there goes the Heisman
See a lot of us weren’t meant for the spotlight
It’s too hot it can make your heart not right
And while I wrestle with the pressures from this world
While being a role model to these precious boys and girls
I frequently second guess and question it all
That’s when I have to go back the call

In moments like this I wanna quit fightin’
‘cause everything is wrong and I can’t make it right and it
Keeps gettin’ worse I’m wonderin’ if it’s even worth fighting for
I’m not so sure

You ever feel like life’s leadin you on
And every good thing that ever happens goes wrong
And every risk you take becomes a mistake
Leaves you askin will I ever become somethin great?
See back in school they told me that I would
Never told me how they just told me that I could
Thought it was guaranteed even if I didn’t try
But life is like a Mike Tyson punch to the eye
One minute you’re fine and you’re riding in the fast lane
But over time that lane becomes the crash lane
And misfortune it can stab you like a back pain
Set you back like back when they made black
People ride the back of the bus
But like gas prices we keep gettin back up
Moments like this got me sayin’ that enough is enough but
I guess the tough get goin’ when the goin’ gets rough huh?

In moments like this I wanna quit fightin’
‘cause everything is wrong and I can’t make it right and it
Keeps gettin’ worse I’m wonderin’ if it’s even worth fighting for
I’m not so sure
But in moments like this I keep on fightin’
‘cause everything that’s wrong, one day will be right and
Our only choice is to believe the voice that has
Told us it’s worth fighting for

It’s worth fighting for
These moments that will break us are the moments that will shape us
In these moments we will find out what we’re really made of
That we really have what it takes

I’m not gonna give up
Not gonna quit though my hearts gettin’ ripped up
Keep movin’ forward my hands I will lift up
Eyes on the prize though these earthquakes shakin’
My foundation an 8.8 on the Richter
But moments like this we can’t afford to be quitters
I choose to rely on the strength that my God has equipped us with
‘cause it’s more than sufficient
