Bitter

[Intro] You didn't know I was proud of you up there singing, huh? You don't want your father to see you? Huh, C-Lite? Come on, man You're supposed to call me! What's the matter with you, huh? You don't like me no more? You tell Mark you're here, but you don't call your dad Alright, give your dad a call, bye [Hook] I don't wanna be bitter, bitter, bitter I don't wanna be bitter, bitter, bitter I don't wanna be bitter, bitter, bitter I don't wanna be bitter So take it all away [Verse 1] Anybody know the feeling of rejection? Feels like you was kicked in your midsection When you feel like you simply just lost your best friend Everybody play the game of love you, you 'bout to bench him You start thinking she's chillin' with other men, and you gettin' jealous Start beefing, and harboring harsh resentment I'm asking Jesus to keep me from being bitter Go skeeming on Twitter, get mad and post it on my statuses Bitterness can make a heart numb, but hope is like a star You don't see it shine bright until the dark come So don't just scoop the dust, remove the rug If I got unforgiveness in my heart Then there really ain't no room for love Plus it's stupid cause, I've been so forgiven That if I hold a grudge, I don't show He's risen, But I know my sins removed since Jesus came With no reason to forgive me, but He did, so I do the same [Break 1] Sometimes things just happen in life that don't make any sense But bitterness is a choice [Hook] [Verse 2] Yea, I gotta tread softly Don't wanna be a hypocrite Plus I got some bitterness I wanna get up off me Where should I start? Well, I feel like I'd be sorta frontin' to say When my father calls that I don't hit ignore button It's probably cause we never kicked it at a younger age I know when he's calling but I don't have got his number saved I keep dodging him but I'm just being honest All he wanna do is talk football and how I should play in college I get bitter, kinda cold like the winter It's so hard for me to forgive him then I remember that I'm a sinner And Jesus forgave me and washed away my sins When I didn't deserve it then I could forgive him His power in such amazing love like When Jesus forgave the ones that pinned him up on that cross As he was hanging from it Holy Spirit, teach me to be just like the Son Remove the roots of bitterness Don't stop until your work is done [Break 2] God I don't wanna be bitter, teach me to forgive Let me see my own sin [Hook] (x2)
