Lyrics: Identify
Album: Are We There Yet?
Artist: John Reuben
 

trained to fail before I could walk
now I’m undoin 20 years of lies I’ve been taught
not always easy to let the past be forgot
when memories keep you caught
let’s travel back nah hold up stop why
cuz if I dwell on the past I give focus to who I’m not
I strive to stay away but that’s not easy
when who I was wants to control my destiny, testin’ me, man it’s got me trippin’
it’s in these moments of despair I feel my foundation slippin’
my insides rippin, leavin’ me broken
now I’m completely confused and I’m vunlerable and open
I try to run but who am I runnin’ from
see from within myself this battle has come
so basically you say it’s up to me
cuz I’m my greatest ally or my worst enemy

(prechorus)
I stepped out of my body to let God slide in
although I’m still dressed in flesh that I spiritually died in
alive in Christ a new creation started breathin
life exists and through this came completion

(chorus)
Get your mind, body, n soul under control-
who am I identify
who are you, all is new

I feel like my soul keeps challengin’ my spirit
and my spirit keeps challengin’ my soul
whichever one I choose to excercise the most will be the one to obtain control
I feel I got multi-personalities, I dabble in multi-mentalities
my own thoughts hold me captive in a world of confusion as the manipulation increases gradually
now if a lie’s placed before me and I buy into it then am I responsible for the deception
if I know acceptance and then I don’t take hold who’s to blame for these feelings of rejection
I bring these feelings of confusion I challenge all that my heart believes
I’m the one that drags my past up from the grave telllin’ myself I won’t succeed

Ending:

I’m not that person anymore that’s what blood was shed for no longer a failure livin’ life more abundantly therefore you’ll never see me livin’ less than victory (Repeat 4x)
