Verse 1 Everybody say they doing what they have to do/ laugh at you when your claims portray an absolute/ they looking mad confused/ say religions a bad pursuit/ but truth is/ I praise him for everyone of his attributes/ whether omniscience/ everything you know is clear/ or your omnipresence/ I know that your right here/ immutability/ so I know that'll never change/ your omnipotence gives me hope in the midst of my pain/ your holy/ just/ I can't help but bury my face/ yet somehow theyre compatible with mercy and grace/ self sufficient/ yet somehow your patient and love/ also jealous/ so we wait for the day that you judge/ we laughed to scorn/ asked what makes us think we're so sure/ cuz everything I've said is hidden inside of your word/ and that settles it/ telling em all I'm resolved/ because your words will stand even though the heavens fall Verse 2 If I was on the edge/ looking over the precipice/ rifle to my back/ I'm blessed and I won't stress a bit/ the benefits of placing trust in your preeminence are pressed between the testaments and that's what's taking precedence/ the evidence is found from genesis through revelation/ no reservations/ if you said it/ ain't no speculating/ regenerations the seal/ forget my reputation/ know they come to steal and to kill/ prepare for devastation/ but even if the stars collide/ I'm just praying to see your will and my heart align/ you said to search/ and you ain't hard to find/ faithful to the bride since even before the start of time/ and you should know cuz you created it/ Ephesians 1 verse 3 to 6 is what he placed me in/ and that settles it/ telling em all I'm resolved/ because your words will stand even though the heavens fall Hook - Leina

Verse 1 I was always the cat that no one wanted to feature/ til I took the necessary steps to elevate my game/ when I hear my lyrics pumping out through the speakers/ a smile comes across my face/ I'm no longer ashamed/ I'm on my feet like sneakers/ out my seat like teachers/ preachers try to reach us but the youth don't ever listen so I'm/ reaching for the bleachers when I'm speakin bout Jesus/ and for that reason/ in the booth they all think I'm trippin/ why?/ when y'all speakin on the beat/ always talking bout your beef/ glorifying the street/ like you reachin for your heat/ but when you meet a guy like me/ it's almost weird to hear a cat that's fully reppin his beliefs/ I know I know/ it can be a little much but/ talking how your guns bust can really get old/ goin on bout such and such/ that'll never be enough/ that's why I'm trying to teach the stuff that will feed your soul Verse 2 All joking aside/ I speak hope for the lost and the broken inside/ I preach quotes when I know that it could cost me my life/ but that's the price of the call when you reach for the sky/ and this is me/ no ifs ands buts or maybes/ never smoke piff or get drunk/ ppl seem to think I'm crazy/ I'm 22 and I never carried loot/ I don't deal/ did I mention that I'm married too?/ to the love of my life/ that's clutching me tight/ hold her all throughout the day and then we cuddle at night/ when I'm without her/ it almost seems like nothing is right/ I thank The Lord everyday for ways she touches my life/ I've truly been blessed/ it's almost like a dream/ they all say its not real like a movie at best/ I'm able to rest/ without stress/ laying in bed/ I guess peace is real/ word to the angel on my chest Verse 3 I'm just trying to give them the Gospel/ while they're main focus is stacking figures like a fossil/ bigger than colossal/ my frame of mind's more focused on the art painting pictures like Picasso/ we trying to go where no one's boldly/ gone they claim I'm played out kind of like the Oldie songs/ like that's my only song/ others say I take it overboard like my name is Goldie Hawn/ but my soul be strong because it's his/ rapping like you know he's on because he is/ reason that I'm focused/ only thing that keep me going strong/ when I'm feeling hopeless is knowing that he lives/ and they just laugh at me/ not perfect by any means/ still ain't mastered peace/ and tragically/ that'll probably never be the case/ but I got fam to hold me down/ shouts to pastor Nii/ We just move and ride/ all praises due to Christ who was crucified/ and Christian rapper or rapper thats Christian/ critics sitting want me to choose a side/ but I aint really one for labels/ fine line like a cable the truths inside/ so/ I guess I could go either way/ I'll tell you what/ why don't you decide
