"I Can Relate" is track #10 on E-Sential's sophomore album "Thru Thick N' Thin".
It's always comforting to have someone you can relate to. As well as someone who has been through a similar situation you are currently in to give you advice. E-Sential offers his past experiences as common ground and a warning as to where sin will lead you. He also presents the hope of Christ to get you through the storm.

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
When I was down in the dirt,
I felt so alone,
Hittin' rock bottom,
Feelin' depressed,
My soul groaned,
I was stuck up in a rut,
Most of my life,
Spent stoned,
Stealin' money from my parents,
Too scared to go home,
I was slippin' and trippin',
Now makin' money was my mission,
Lookin' up to them drug dealers,
Sick individual,
I was sleepin' with women,
And then I felt bad,
'Cuz that one night stand could make me a dad,
And I knew I never would have been able to take on that mess,
If I ended up gettin' one of them girls pregnant,
Lesson learned, just save it,
Wait and be patient,
Sex before your marriage ain't like takin' a vacation,
Most of my friends got into coke,
Some of my friends got into meth,
Some of them did overdose,
And some of did meet their death,
I just pray that in peace they rest,
Because I know that life gets stressed,
Every day is truly blessed,
Even when you're goin' through a test,
And that's the realness,
I feel it,
And I relate,
To them struggles and tribulations,
That people come to face,
Only grace and forgiveness can save you from all this hate,
And it's Jesus who be offerin' this love for you today.

(Chorus)
If you're strugglin',
Hustlin' drugs for money brutha,
I can relate,
On your own feelin' helpless,
I can relate,
Even though I'm doin' better man,
I can relate,
I've been in that stormy weather,
But it's never too late.
(x2)

(Verse 2)
Even in them times,
When I was blind,
I saw the light shine,
But I went to high,
'Cuz of the guilt I held inside,
And no lie brutha,
This is somethin' that I can't deny,
I was feelin' deprived,
Wanted to die,
Thought about suicide,
But The Holy Spirit kept on tuggin' on my heart,
Never depart,
Just like a Father callin' his son,
Because it's gettin' too dark up in the park,
Now it's time to come home,
John 3 to the 20,
I was in that zone,
Eventually, spiritually, physically, and mentally,
I needed Jesus to come rapture me,
Capture and set me free,
It's achieved by faith,
Less any man should boast,
Not by the works but in receiving in The Holy Ghost,
Make a toast,
Brother or sister because,
This is great news,
The Lamb of God and the True King came here to save you,
Not betray you, slay you like the devil,
He be fatal in his ways,
And he be livin' here to trick too,
Does that afflict you?,
Well it did for me,
But then I got with Christ,
And then we told him that we're through,
I'm covered up by the blood,
So there's nothing he can do,
Nothin' in the world,
That could take me from the Christ crew.

(Chorus)
