Lyrics
RAP 1
A fail to plan is a plan to fail
My night views turn sky blue so I’m living well
My mom and dad raised me from a living hell
Taught me truth, now I drink from a living well
When one door closes, another one opens, My mind
racing when I’m chasing divine, Bible quotes all the time
People come and go, but the family strong, holding on
Change is inevitable, but my Jesus is still on the throne
I’m a King serving the king of kings, good to better things
And greater is he that’s living in me, the perfect vine and tree
The finer things of life, I got ‘em, peace and love not war and strife
Was bored of life, but drugs and hugs and boose and buzz would not suffice
I grip the mic and spit the bars of Christ, the weights of light are light
I’m burdened by the discouraged throwing shade, won’t stop my shine, alright?
At APA Hotel, mind’s soaring high above the clouds
Over the flaws, over mistakes, over the fails, Jesus still saves
I’m still amazed
My debt was paid
RAP 2
Everybody can’t go where we go that’s for sure
Everyday I gotta pray over my soul
Many things seen and unseen preying on my soul
So whether I’m in Tokyo, Baltimore, or in Seoul
Faith walking with my size twelves, the perfect insoles
[AND YOU’RE ALL THAT MATTERS TO ME!]
[I only have eyes for you]
To my family, my crew, future children and my boo
Church brothers, sisters too, Keep doing what you do
I salute you for never giving up when it’s tough
Look up to the sky above
CHORUS
And I’m loving this hotel view (Gotta love it!)
All the others took the pill that’s blue (Living in the Matrix…)
In reality is how we move (Took the red to get the green, you know what I mean?)
We can do whatever you wanna do YEAH YEAH
RAP 3
In this season, gotta be Hezakaiah
Throw away all the idols, staying humble not prideful
Or just maybe
Like Fred Hammond be like David,
Cut a rug, dance crazy, ain’t worried bout a title NAH
Not like King Saul, disobeying the Father
Not like Ahab, always craving more power
Being lead by his wife and not being head of the house
I refuse to abuse the rules and covet another man’s spouse
Or another man’s land, it’s a lost cause to me
Other side is never greener, both sides are just as green
Grass Is grass and dew is dew and in the morning fall on Zion, I want the blessing of life forever, if you’re selling I’m buying
Gotta serve God’s people, not be just a pew filler
Born sinner, but born again into a winner
Remember when we used to smoke hookah and weed to feel peace
Now nothing makes me feel higher than his Grace blanketing me, I’M FREE
And whom the son sets free is guaranteed
HAPPINESS IS WHATEVER WE CHOOSE YEAH YEAH
And true freedom is to choose Jesus
Chorus
