Lyrical Analysis of...
My Wife (the plea)
- you know I can't understand for the life of me,
- why this cancer is trying to take my beautiful wife from me.
- why this disease is trying to suck my whole life from me,
- my whole life it seems like somethings hanging on me spitefully.
- people continuously tell us they keep praying for us,
- I'm eternally grateful for all that they be saying for us.
- but Lord if none of these prayers start to be answered for us,
- how can I be sure that you were going to take care of the cancer for us.
- I keep hearing to keep the faith and hold on to the truth.
- but to tell you the truth both of those are hard to do,
- when you're sitting there watching your wife wither away,
- into half of the woman that she used to be yesterday.
- I'm on my knees now Lord I'm begging you for a miracle,
- to take the cancer from her and give it to me in the literal.
- there's no reason for her to continue on with this torture.
- when I'm ready and willing to take all of this cancer pain for her.
- I know its not fair but Lord can I ask you why,
- You think it's fair to have my 10 year old watch his mother die.
- all this is hard on him too, but he is such a strong boy,
- like I say all the time that lil boys my favorite toy.
- you tell straight up in the Bible you'll never give us more than
- we can handle.
- well I'm telling you now her dying I cannot handle.
- so pretty please, with sugar on top, tell me how to say it,
- put the words in front of my face and tell me how to relay it,
- let this happen to me again not her please Lord I beg you,
- on my knees till they bleed, I'll lose both of my legs for you,
- if you do this littlebittyfavorformeIknowyoucando,
- twinkle your nose, wiggle your toes do whatever you gotta do,
- but just keep Jodi on this earth with me and my son Michael too.
- I plea. I plea. Lord please keep Jodi down here with me.
- A selfish request I understand this to be.
- But without her what am I really here to be. x2
- Watching my woman of twenty years wither away,
- Is like nothing else I could recreate for you or ever say.
- The hardest thing on this earth that I have ever done,
- And Not one of my people know how I feel. No. not one.
- An argument could be made for her mother and father,
- but they didn't lose a wife n soulmate, they lost a daughter.
- I knew her better than anyone and yes, I include the Lord,
- Sometimes with what goes on down here I think he's just bored.
- Lookin down on us thinking yeah..... I'll let that happen.
- He's so big up there, wish he'd come down prove it with the scrappin.
- yeah, I'd fist fight God to re leave some of this hurt.
- I ain't scared, I'm saved when I die in heaven is where I'll work.
- But at least fo' I die I'll get one or two on who let this happen,
- Honestly I could run this world better, be a better captain.
