Clarity - Andy Mineo

Sometimes you can just be in a funk creatively or you know, as a person and

it’s like there’s a fog around you and you can’t see out of it, but,

that’s part of the journey

Hm, patient, this beat done took its time

Well, then so do I

Look, uninspired, undefined

Now somebody’s gettin' fired

Terrified, paralyzed, Twitter game verified

Married life, very fire

Understand I’m on demand

Undermanned the Son of Man or Son of Sam

Somewhere in between the two, the meaning too

Spend the evening, be with you

Oh I know, I need it too

Do I believe, believe I do

On my faith walk, took the cynic, I mean the scenic route

Get lost, I be aloof, Adidas on, still need the boost

What was the Eden fruit?

I’ll ask Him when I see Him

Daily bread, that’s Paideim, but I’m fastin' like a BM

Ridin' past ya in the P.M.

in a stolen car, that’s fleein' from the scene of a

crime

Apollo Creed, in his prime

Rocky verses, I’m a person that’s tryna believe I’m worth it

I’m workin' through it, but work is, well, work, but well worth it

It’s hella churches still hell is workin' fine

What’s that tell us, fellas hurtin', it’s like melanin a crime

That’s the elephant we hide

Truthfully, we probably lied

Rather have a tribe than unity, so you and me divide

I’m hellish and divine

I’m trillest and divine

I’m tellin' me, «I'm fine, I’m fine, I’m, I know better»

All I, all I want is clarity, clarity

'Cause all of my heroes are frauds just like me, just like me

So let every man be a liar, let only God be truth

And all of your heroes are frauds just like you

I can’t see through that smoke in the air

That’s the smoke in the air

That’s that smoke in the air

All that smoke in the air

A mind of doubt is to keep you open to God’s revelations

When you don’t doubt, you don’t change

If you have to have finite answers to infinite questions

Uh, you’re not gonna move

Yeah, built my life on this (huh)

Half my adult life like unlearnin'

Lies that I heard in a dumb sermon

What I unearth got me uncertain

More knowledge and more sorrow

Worryin' that never fixed tomorrow

Just take away all my strength today

It was black and white, not paved with gray

Maybe that cloud that I’ve been stuck in

I construct it, I conduct it

Orchestra of noise, I don’t hate your voice

I done made a choice, mic assumption

A TV cabinet, tweetin', twerkin', grand man, gamin', rappin', workin'

Fashion work, and work, and work, and work, and work, and

Can’t tell if lost

My mind or just made it (lost)

My faith or misplaced it (lost)

My pain or upgraded

Lost my happy thought, then I got jaded (lost)

Focus in my direction (lost)

In details and perfection (lost)

All my faith in white Jesus and my leaders (found)

They aren’t who I thought all these years (found)

They weren’t even worthy of tears (found)

The opposite of faith ain’t doubt

It’s when I get it all figured out

Some days it get in all my trust

Some days I can feel so empty

Some days I feel like You love me

Some days I feel like You left me

The second I’m furious with God, I’m tumbling close

Because you cannot be furious with somebody who’s not there

All I, all I want is clarity, clarity

'Cause all of my heroes are frauds just like me, just like me

So let every man be a liar, let only God be truth

And all of your heroes are frauds just like you

I can’t see through that smoke in the air

That’s the smoke in the air

That’s that smoke in the air

All that smoke in the air

Through that smoke in the air

That’s the smoke in the air

That’s that smoke in the air

All that smoke in the air

I want God to wrap me in the everlasting wings and say «There there,

it’s alright»

And that cosmic affirmation of «Yes, I know it’s terrible, I know it hurts,

but be patient, it’s gonna work out

I’m not gonna lose, I’m gonna win, it’s alright.»

And that’s the, the, the basic affirmation that I think only true doubters can

come to
