"DUST IT OFF"

{Intro}

90 percent of everythings' accomplished by confidence...but Christ is that 10 percent....that no other man, no one by hand, can understand, through all my plans, who can enhance, give you a chance, give him a dance, praise him in advance!

______________________________________

{First Verse}

Yeah (2x) I used to ask a lot of questions/

--Is he real and are we really gettin' all our blessings/

--Been through the worst, thought I was cursed with that teen depression/

But its time to rise you know I had to reach my adolescent/

All gettin' older time to put an end to all this stressin'/

Get him in your life so he can put an end to second guessin'/

Never lets expectations, block out trial testin'/

'Cause without the trial testin' you will never gain the essence/

Yeah...so get right up on your toes/

Then you make a change...go to where you gotta go/

Do what you gotta do, know what you need to know/

Knowledge is the key to get through your high and lows/

Ask me 'cause I hit rockbottom/

But I hit it with the irony and laughed at the problems/

In my bitter times 'cause the pains' too much to swallow/

But i'm glad I made I through with my opened bible/

Yeah...you'll be back to scratch/

--But its good 'cause you'll build a stronger mindset that you never had/

And yeah...then you'll get the catch/

When you not as down as you was before 'cause you learned your lesson back to back/

______________________________________

{Hook 1}

Seeing people blessed, feeling last out the rest...wondering....why the PAUSE?/

Then you're lookin' at yourself without any help...feeling all hope is LOST/

But you gotta keep in mind everybody has a time to have....what they CALLED/

So never let negatives keep you weary...hear me and DUST IT OFF/

______________________________________

{Last Verse}

Gotta...dust it...off, never let it stick to you/

Speaking from experience I know what negative will do/

Have you stuck...in a zone...that you can't shake loose/

With the wasted years passed and you barely made ya move/

Then you turn 40 out the closet, startin' on your groove/

When you should have did it young with a better point to prove/

Gotta shake the cobwebs 'cause regret'll come soon/

Bet i'm shakin' mines now, 21 wit' a new/

--New beginning...and I left my pain past when my mind was spinnin'/

God made my gain last when my time was thinnin'/

Now I got my laugh back and its never endin'/

--Now Gods' winnin'/

And I must admit it/

Would have never did it without him as my witness/

And my momma with me as a dedicated christian/

--Raising two kids through church on a given...we did it/

______________________________________

{Hook 2}

You know that you got work...you got work to do/

You just don't know, where to go...God WILL see you through (but)/

You gotta check (2x) check, yo'self before anybody else/

Get right and never stay mad at the world, just DUST IT OFF/
