Higher Purpose
Lyrics
Glory to God ain't no one higher
If these were days of dear Elijah
My verses would be a little more biblical
Instead lately I been everything but spiritual
I been busy chasing things like women money and fame
And a bunch of other things I can't take beyond the grave
Yeah
It's a sad case ain't it
One of my biggest debts and I can never repay it
Ain't it crazy my life could've gone a million ways
I could've been locked up or shot dead that's why I give him praise
You got a story I got a story who paved the way
So many paths it's so easy for one to go astray
I made decisions I ain't proud of but who hasn't
Whatchu take from the experience what really matters
Can't take it back so I'm pressing forward
Gotta move with a purpose I can't go cutting corners
Cause everything comes full circle when you least expect it
That's why I'm righting all my wrongs if you wrong correct it
That's why I'm writing out my wrongs so I won't forget it
Can't keep repeating mistakes like I don't know any better
I'm a son a man a friend a lover
A rapper a prophet I serve no other
One mission to love support each other
But how can we make progress we can't even see past colors
It's deeper than that
It's deeper than rap
It's deeper than anything you can fathom don't be quick to react
Focus on the what's what gotta look at the facts
Before you say or do something that you can't take back
Round of applause
Round of applause
You deserve it you been working so hard
Working 9-5 jobs just to live how you want
Circumstances won't right but you gave it your all
Round of applause
Round of applause
You deserve it cause you made it this far
Yeah you held it in cause you had to be strong
You done came a long way look where you are
I done had so many talks with myself
Like whatchu doing
Is this really how you wanna spend yo days being foolish
You ain't finna waste the sacrifices made for you is ya
Slinging dope or gang banging cause you fit the description
I grew up round the people society didn't claim
Got brothers missing fathers despising their last names
That hate'll get you nowhere except an early grave
And there ain't a consolation you can give that's worth the pain
For those left behind
You can see the hurt they going through it's in their eyes
They so used to smiling through it when they wanna cry
Why I'm showing love even when my anger justified
They don't seem to remember
I'm a son a man a friend a father
A rapper a prophet I serve no other
One mission to love support each other
But how can we make progress we can't even see past colors
It's deeper than that
It's deeper than rap
It's deeper than anything you can fathom don't be quick to react
Focus on the what's what gotta look at the facts
Before you say or do something that you can't take back
Round of applause
Round of applause
You deserve it you been working so hard
Working 9-5 jobs just to live how you want
Circumstances won't right but you gave it your all
Round of applause
Round of applause
You deserve it cause you made it this far
Yeah you held it in cause you had to be strong
You done came a long way look where you are
This one for my brothers and sisters out there
Facing depression
Anxiety
Bills
Poverty
Your season of blessings is coming
So don't you lose sight of what you've got
Just because you've been constantly reminded of what you've lost
You're not alone
It won't be long
Stay strong
Yours truly
