The Turnaround Lyrics

Don’t wanna let that mess exterminate your determination
But all that doubt will make you hesitate in your dedication
They want to feed you too much so you don’t know just what to do
And then they love to watch you demonstrate your own detonation

‘Fore you sign out and leave
There’s more at work than you see
Stick around and you’ll be in the turnaround
It’s the thing that picks you up when they push you down
It’s the wind that lifts you up ‘fore you hit the ground
Bring you right back from the brink ‘fore you sink and drown
It’s the feelin’ you found in the turnaround

You’re walking tall ‘til that trip through hell delayed your celebration
You’re doing fine, still don’t climb in case you fell from that elevation
You don’t know why your God allows the things He puts you through
It’s like He threw you right inside the middle of Revelations

So when they make you walk along the edge of it
And watch you slip until you’re ready to fall
And when they pull the plug on all the things going good
‘Til everything you do is down to a crawl
You know that suffering and pain that you’re going through
Can really be a blessing in a disguise
‘Cause they create all of the best opportunities to rise…
Bootprints on my shoes, choose to win but I lose
Ever since I’ve been in it, every clinic refused
So now I think I’m out of sync, I’m out of rhythm and blues
In a minute, I’ll be intimate with women and booze
Paid my dues, but I’m broke from your limits and rules
Makin’ moves, but the cruelest teacher ruins the schools
So I’m-a mimic every gimmick and the wisdom of fools
Timid, diminished, guess I’m finished with the image and jewels
Isn’t it cool who’s pickin’ up the dim and confused
No longer trapped in the crews with their primitive tools? Been in and
Through the cynical boos and critical cues
So now their fire’s only lightin’ my fuse
