Lyrics

Summarize His life through beats I terrorize
Spit life to the fam, no sham, we salt like spam, now let me emphasize
Said I could've been on more drugs than a pharmacy
But I gotta move on, so I gotta say pardon me
Cut loose, no larceny, cause you a thief of joy and you ain't got no part in me
Lucy too sleep to identify
Who sleeps with the sheep on a bed of rye
Lived thirty three years, they were flying by
From tree to tomb, but He had to rise
Now I'm writing these verses to
Anyone who's been discouraged to
Raise hands up high when you're told to cry
But we'll understand it by and by like"wasn't that crazy?"
Shouldn't be here like Ye and Jay-Z
Reminiscing like back to the 80's
Look at my check saying how He gone pay me
What you gone say G, love go crazy, He ain't no baby
Son of God took my place, it's amazing
I'm a '99 Chevrolet going 80
Glad I took this trail I'm blazing
Now I got opps tryna dig my grave
Now I got a kid so I gotta behave
Gotta make sure my act together, keep it under tether so the road is paved
Now I kinda know how God feels
Gotta keep the balance like cog wheels
You would never think that a Christian used to be this wretched like Todd Friel
It's an odd deal like a trust fund
Life gained from what He done
Superman, no Jimmy Gunn
Gotta thank the man for what He done
I can't cruise like Top Gun
If you seen what I saw, shotgun
If I don't got no money, I'm leaving my kids the gospel, make sure they know the one
You know what they say, you live and you learn
So I thank God for the gift of wisdom
This ain't no superstition, it's on par for my Christian living
Living the faith the best I know how, so I know how
To be spirit led when it goes down and hear God's voice when it's so loud
In the world around me, lines start to get blurred a little
Can't go left, can't go right, so I move towards the middle
Truthfully, the whole course is riddled with wicked ways
We might be living them last days, but God is good in all His ways
And that ain't just no catchphrase, it's a sad state
That we're living in, cause we live in sin and we do it with a grin
Saying good is evil, and evil as good, then we do it all again
What a vicious cycle, but our survival depends on the word and sacraments
No eternal life with no bread of life, and so I'm just so adamant
Still trying to master this, what comes after this
Gotta pass this down to my family tree
Because it's sad to see, there's so many broken families
That's why my legacy is more than money, more than music
It's all worthless, it's all useless, without faith and the grace to choose it
