Interlude 4 - Live

I'll tell you every single

W-we all have gifts, you know, and uh, like special gifts

And there's this, this voice inside of us that says

"Don't do that," you know

"Why you gonna get up there with that guitar?

That are as passionate about it as I am

I'll just roll alone until such time, you know

It's all good, God is faithful

Y'all get, y'all still get to hear it, so, you know?

I can do it, too"

I can do what I'm supposed to be doin'

I don't, I don't need an entourage, what do I need a crew for?"

Okay, let's see
