Shadowboxing with God (2006)

You've been shadow boxing with God
and lost
looking for a way out of egypt
but stopped at the water cauze you had no boat
Prayed for manna from heaven
and got mad cauze there was no gravy

One of these days, you're gonna get real tired, friend.

tangled in a net you cast
that blew back in your face and covered the whole of you
east of the Jordan river
with no catch

You've been shadow boxing with God and lost

Trying your best to scale the path to the mountaintop with no rope
Wandering through the wilderness with a cracked compasss
Praying for rain with no umbrella in hand

Be careful, brotha
as you test the waters like Peter and then look down
and find yourself drowning in your own fear
praying then looking around nervous that somebody might hear

Cauze one of these days you're gonna get tired of getting knocked out
like Sugar Ray Leonard
Bruised like Tyson
and bewildered like Ali

and recognize that a handshake is must better than a fist.
