Stubborn

[Intro]
Oh, and tell me all the things you'd change or things you're wishing for
Me, I wish the label didn't walk out on my show
And I know there are things I'll see that I just can't control
It's been pray, then try again with my stubborn-hearted soul
It's been pray, then try again with my stubborn-hearted soul

[Verse 1]
I was told to quit a long, long time ago
Imagine if I would've made that play
I heard God and I heard what He had to say
There ain't a thing that ever could stand in my way

[Chorus]
Paid my dues and I've been set loose
God, help me in the things I do
It's been pray, then try again with my stubborn-hearted soul
Paid my dues and I've been set loose
God, help me in the things I do
It's been pray, then try again with my stubborn-hearted soul

[Verse 2]
Supposed to have a feature on the song, but I didn't
Things couldn't get approved for it behind the curtain
Industry hurdles are one thing for certain
"We're sorry, it's the timin' of it, but keep on workin'"
So what if God had a plan for me to walk alone
So every door opened showed He was on the throne
And no one took credit for what wasn't their own?
Maybe all along I should've known

[Chorus]
Paid my dues and I've been set loose
God, help me in the things I do
It's been pray, then try again with my stubborn-hearted soul
Paid my dues and I've been set loose
God, help me in the things I do
It's been pray, then try again with my stubborn-hearted soul
