Lyrics

I'm sittin' while I'm spittin' for the ones that can't stand me

I heard I'm wack because I always keep a Bible handy

Been called a sellout because I believe I'll see a Grammy

I'm not supposed to wanna be great when I'm chasin' the greatest?

But you tellin' me that faith is when you start believin'

And it increases when you meditate on what you're readin'

So I listened, picked it up and started readin'

I stumbled on a scripture, man, that really got me thinkin', like

"Ask, it'll be given to you

Search and you will find, even knockin' will do

And when you go and knock, He will open for you"

And just when I did, this what I'm hearin' from you

It's like "Man, I feel what you're sayin'

, But you're takin' it too serious, like

You don't mean none of that literally, man"

Oh, so what He's sayin' ain't serious?

Just ask and receive, just don't believe I'm receivin' it? (Oh)

Now I get it, it's like we in and we out

It's like a sin is a sin, but in a sense that it's not

You see, now I'm really thinkin', what is real and what's not?

It's like, was I just dreamin'? Do they feel me or not?

Or did they get tired of waitin' for my album to drop?

Or did I wait too long? Is now forgiven, forgot?

Or should I switch back for the ones who question if I still got it?

But if I do, will I be strong enough to get out it?

Now tell me, are y'all interested now?

Is this what I gotta do to keep y'all listenin' now?

Go back to who I was, man, before I was found?

Brag about the type of money and all the chicks that I got?

How I lean when I ride, the type of whip that I drive?

And I go and tell a story, tell y'all how I got shot?

Now tell me, are y'all listenin' now?

"You turned out like this from all

The Eminem videos you used to watch"

No, don't blame it on the video, even though I feel as though

I could relate to him more than anyone I know

Boy, you'll never understand me, what don't you get?

I could stand on your shoulders, still have you not understandin'

There's not a fake bone in my body

That's probably why you always findin'

Problems and you're hopin' it'll stop me

I ain't stoppin' 'til I release everything I got inside me

Believe God got me too, I'm cleanin' out my closets

Look, can I please have your attention?

Wasn't made an average Joe, so honestly, I don't expect many to get me

I exposed all my demons, I see that's why I'm hated

While others just go around pointin'

Fingers, like "Man, this ends up greater"

Man, cut the show, you Cinemax like theaters

I was just like you 'til I got tired of the stagin'

Took two steps forward, jumped right off the stage

Now I landed front row with a sack of tomatoes

How dare you make him feel he's bein' convicted

'Cause he can't quote you no verses or tell you everyone in it?

Is that what you think it takes to be called a Christian?

Are you forgettin' that the devil came at Jesus with scriptures?

Man, I'm sick of it, I even heard my music has spirits

'Cause it sounds too good, are you limitin' Jesus?

Favoritism and envyin', you're

Condemning Him, not helpin' Him, get it?

"Sway, I just don't know the answer"

You think by havin' a clique more people will respect you?

Throw God in what you sellin' and you'll quickly develop?

Well, He is in the midst where two or more are gathered together

The only time y'all together is when y'all have things to sell 'em

I mean, seriously, have y'all ever thought about givin'?

Always thinkin' new things to sell 'em, but never nothin' to give 'em

And I ain't hatin', I ain't against ya, I'm tryna help and give wisdom

Before you end up with no support

And people askin' why you in it, look

So are you in it for savin' souls or are you after the cheddar?

The type of change I'm racin' towards, you cannot place on a dresser

I don't fear the ones against me

Let 'em know I ain't the one, but I'm cool with bein' second

I'm not worried about how many will buy this

Half of the ones who got it, man, will be from me givin'

Though you are eyein' the movement, that's not the reason I do it

Comin' from yours truly, 'cause when it's the reason you do it

You see nobody movin', look

Yeah, you're probably confused and got a lot of questions

Wonderin' what are my intentions

"Man, it feels like you're dissin', seems like you're hatin'"

Well, honestly, that wasn't my reason

Only the ones who are goin' through this event

In this position will understand what I'm sayin'

Nowadays, we not helpin' others, we criticizin'

We underlyin' and minimizin', pointin'

Everything out but-but the Christ inside us

Man, this ain't no diss

This is straight real talk, man, look

Nowadays, all-all I see is people wantin' fame

You know, you're not tryin' to help people get out their sins

You know, you're just talkin' this and

That, it don't even make sense, man

I mean, instead of tryin' to help your

Brothers and sisters get out of sin

You're just diggin' 'em deeper and deeper into sin, man

And this message is for all the fake ministers, man

Whether you're on the pulpit, the

Studio, behind the mic, anywhere, man

Anybody that's usin' God's name for

Self glory, man, I'm callin' y'all out

I'm off the chain, man, it's forgiven
