The Cross Movement - Catch 22 lyrics

(Prelude) Man, my life man. Catch it whether I don't, catch it whether I do So it really don't matter. Know what I'm sayin'? (Chorus) Catch twenty Catch twenty, catch twenty-two Twenty-two, twenty, twenty-two (4x) (Verse 1) I'm comin' out slippery as a trout Here is my handle here is my spout Fresh brand new born baby on the planet Almost aborted taken for granted Sticky from the womb And I feel doom After the scrub I can't feel no love Doctor says get the fix 'cause my body's throwin' fits Even thought I don't know what it is I need a hit Every thing's shakin'. Why can't I stop? Don't warm me up no bottle, spark me up a rock Almost evicted, blood vessels constricted I just got here and I'm addicted Live or die what should I do? Lord help me I'm in a catch 22 (Chorus) (3x) (Verse 2) Yeah, I survived And at the age of five My mommy's off crack Said she ain't goin' back And from the looks of it you would think I got it made Ever since mommy married Reverend Kinkade But even at this age I feel the sickest kind of gloom 'Cause each and every night he keeps sneakin' in my room Touchin' me and feelin' me I wanna ring the bell But he says if I tell then I'ma go to hell And Lord I don't wanna go to hell I wanna be with you I'm in a catch 22 (Chorus) (Verse 3) No, I never told, and now I'm 18 years old Sometimes chill sometimes bold Girls say “Uh, check him out he kinda fly” And I can't relate no matter how hard I try I'm afraid ever since Reverend Kinkade I don't understand how I'm made Something's gone wrong in my head ­- I wish I was dead The cuts on my wrist bled I guess that stuff about God ain't true 'Cause why would he leave me in a catch 22 (Chorus) (Verse 4) Yo kid ya gotta live to get fed up Ev'ry-thing's kinda sped up You got's to come head up And just don't let up I know life's been bangin', boomin', hittin' You can't catch a break so you're thinkin' 'bout quittin' But listen, the life lesson is in launchin' out into the deep Yo you gotta keep fishin'. Theres one who controls who you are and be Which is a slight definition of the Almighty But don't get it twisted, He's faithful and cares And won't allow you to go through more than you can bear But with all your temptation, He'll give you an escape So whether you've been molested or whether you've been raped Or born in the ghetto in a cold water flat Blind, or deaf, handi- or capped Hold on deliverance is nigh 'Cause you can get you piece of the pie In the 'twinkling of an eye' And God can't lie, it's a test, a plan So will you still hold on when you can't understand? Will you hold on so that God can get the glory? You'll get the reward - He'll tell the story About a person that had a hard life The stress and the strife And nothin' went right And so much pain, didn't know what to do... But still serve God despite the catch 22 (Chorus) (Tonic Extended Chorus:) Indeed for real We tryin'a say, catch 22, catch, catch 22 You catch it if you don't, you catch it if you do Catch 22, catch, catch 22, but the catch 22 ain't true. Ya! Catch 22, catch, catch 22, you catch it if you don't, you catch it if you do Catch 22, catch, catch 22, but the catch 22 ain't true - for real. Word life To my man Tubb, thanks for the phat track We be The Gift. With my man Earthquake, ya, and I be the Tonic
