Tarshish In

Tarshish in my chest, tried to dodge that call רוּחַ קָדִים—ruach qadim—hit the sail, shook it all Deck full of noise but the silence said “yield” Goral got cast—yeah, truth got revealed Don’t sing that sound—I cut it mid-line If it bend like that, it ain’t truth, it’s design Let it drift past, I don’t make it mine Keep my sight straight—stay aligned “Throw me in,” I ain’t duckin’ that weight Mayim closed in, couldn’t breathe, couldn’t debate בֶּטֶן—beten—deep where the ego get checked שְׁאוֹל in my lungs, had to face that effect Voice sound smooth, yeah it talk real clean Half-truth lines dressed up like they mean If I echo that hook, it loop in my brain Repetition build power, now it run that lane Is it אֱמֶת—emet—or just words that shine? Sound so right but it bend that line Guard my לֵב—lev—I don’t feed that rhyme Cut that loop quick, realign my mind From the pit I cried, no mask, no front קוֹל דְּמָמָה—still voice—cut through the brunt נֶדֶר I spoke, yeah I meant that vow יְשׁוּעָה—salvation—He rewrote me now Don’t loop that sound—I break that line If it twist my frame, I decline that sign I don’t chase that wave, I don’t co-sign Hold to what’s real—realign my mind Three nights pressed where the pride get crushed Signal got clear when the noise got hushed Spit to the shore with a breath reset Same call waitin’—I ain’t dodgin’ yet Used to move war-mode, map every play World taught tactics, pressure, and sway Now I stay still when He tell me “wait” I don’t outrun God, I don’t force that gate לֹא אָרוּץ לְפָנָיו—I move on cue Step when He speak, I don’t jump too soon Hands off control, I ain’t provin’ nothin’ Trust in His timing, I’m done with the rushin’ Wait on the Word, I don’t force that move If He ain’t said “go,” I got nothin’ to prove נָקָם לַיהוָה—I don’t carry that fight I let God handle it, keep my mind right Nineveh road, yeah I faced that route דָּבָר cut clean, let it ring out loud Forty-day clock, whole city bowed From throne to dust, laid pride down proud Don’t feed that echo—I silence that line If it’s dressed too slick, I don’t make it mine I don’t sing that hook, I don’t give it time I stay on truth—realign my mind חֶסֶד ran wide where I drew that line Grace went further than my own design Had to check self—why I fight that plan? If He show mercy, I don’t counter His hand Vengeance ain’t mine, I don’t swing that sword נָקָם לַיהוָה—I leave it to the Lord Used to hold grudges, keep score in the war Now I drop that weight, don’t carry it no more Stillness over speed, I don’t rush that move If He say “wait,” I got nothin’ to prove נָקָם לַיהוָה—I release that fight Peace in the pause—keep my path right Voice sound clean but it bends that line If I run it back, it grow over time So I starve that loop, reset my mind Truth stand solid—it don’t need shine Cut the echo clean, I don’t trace that line If it’s dressed too slick, I don’t make it mine I don’t sing that hook, I don’t co-sign I hold to אמת—truth over time Ran to the deep, came back to the street From runnin’ away to walkin’ complete If it sound too sweet, I slow my feet אֱמֶת stand firm—it don’t need the beat
