lirik lagu omega mcbride - my back porch
i’m on my back porch
talking to the lord
i want a new day and a new life
with a new way to do right
i’m on my back porch
talking to the lord
i want a new day and a new life
with a new way to do right
now, on this back porch
they say, our vision’s selective (why?)
’cause we see things from a different perspective
what they hold high
we see as defective
’cause, “why it can’t satisfy?”
is a continuous question
i’ve seen queens while young teens wear jeans
that to grown men only mean one thing
influence by the screen
how to treat our queens
and now, they’re pregnant bеfore they turn 16
the cyclе continues
passed down from momma to momma
’cause in most homes, there’s no fathers
neighbors see it all
could help but why bother
peepin through the windows in hope for more drama
rappers are real good at pointing out the problem
but who gives the answer that only yah can solve em
so, whether it is hillary or obama
know that god has a promise and we all pay homage
i’m on my back porch
talking to the lord
i want a new day and a new life
with a new way to do right
i’m on my back porch
talking to the lord
i want a new day and a new life
with a new way to do right
as i’m dreaming awake
i’m thinking of ways
of doing things differently
i’m shifting my pace and lifting my weight
away from procrastination
i’ve been mad complacent with dragging, lately
altering my state of mind
one day at time
and practicing the same things i say in my rhymes
stay on the grind
stay on the grind
look into the hills for help
accountability, so i don’t start to feel myself
this is a new day
a new life
a new to do right
inspired by titans
brighten the darkness like the moonlight
but i’ve gotta remember who’s right and who’s wrong
playing the same tune everyday, we need a new song
or maybe it’s just my heart that needs a home
shaped in inequity, see i’ve been running for too long
(i’ve been running for too long)
so, give me something newly minted to match yours
replenish my passion is what i’m asking on my back porch
i’m on my back porch, talking to the lord
lord, incline your ears
i’m on my back porch, talking to the lord
hear me, calling out your name
i’m on my back porch, talking to the lord
from my safe place to your safe place
i’m on my back porch, talking to the lord
by your grace i’ll never be the same
i’m on my back porch, talking to the lord
now, this man
isn’t saying this from a distance
i, too, been stuck in this quick sand (i was there, too)
pride was my necklace
l~st was my wristband
kinda like saul, i would persecute the christian
but listen, like fish when men go fishing
we all get caught stealing slop from the pigpen
so used to the bait
can’t tell if it’s fake
tryna beat lebron james
yet, we’re dunking on crates
wait
that’s why i had to turn my back to the crowd
so, i could learn how to lead and get back to the crowd
i’m black and i’m proud but i’m wishing the world wasn’t color coated
we need some new eyes, truthfully, never sugar coat it
being more devoted and openly dedicated
got the majority hoping to be separated
so i’m celebrating a new day and life
with the truth, way and the life
you gave me my sight, christ
i’m on my back porch, talking to the lord
lord, incline your ears
i’m on my back porch, talking to the lord
hear me, calling out your name
i’m on my back porch, talking to the lord
from my safe place to your safe place
i’m on my back porch, talking to the lord
by your grace i’ll never be the same
i’m on my back porch, talking to the lord
(tell me what to do)
i’m on my back porch
(i’m reaching out to you)
talking to the lord
i want a new day and a new life
with a new way to do right
(with you, i have a clue)
i’m on my back porch
(no more going through)
talking to the lord
i want a new day and a new life
with a new way to do right
my back porch
