Lyrics

I done had my faith tested
Out the hands of satan
Where my blessings rested
Triple down investments
ROI it was no limit
When it came to lessons
No games
When I show up
It ain't no contestants
To my pain
I put up milage
Swerving lanes
And dodging lames
I overcame them trials
Just to show you
That we not the same
And never was
The blue print
In the heart of cities
It was never love
Mama
Told me
You gotta aim
High
'Cause we was never made
To grovel on the ground
Coming for the crown
Gotta hold it down
Stumbled on the sound
That’s going to get us out
Praying that it’s finna work
Praying that it’s finna work
What they say about the faith?
If it don’t come wit work
So I got to go to work
So I got to go to work
They ain't never had the purpose
I been knowing since birth
You know they never believed
You know they still gon lurk
You know I’m taking the lead
Then the real ones stampede
Praying that it’s finna work
Praying that it’s finna work
What they say about the faith
If it don’t come with work
Scribbling all these words
Till my head hurt
Running laps round these **** for leg work
Thought he said he was down
Then he fled first
Thinking they was gon ball
Then they red shirted
They say life a bitch
And she been flirted
Shit we might just go steady
Ask my dawgs
They know I ain’t never gave a damn
No surprise I’m the one breaking levys
It’s no prize
For the ones who can’t swallow they pride
And admit this a whole nother gear
They still
Talking about some 10,000 hours
I did all that years ago
I did all that fears ago
I hope you not scared
Of the lime light
And crash out like some deers’ll go
It’s evident
Checking the evidence
See its empirical
I done had faith tested
And the snakes
Expose themselves they over stepped it
Ten steps I over rep it
Leap year I over lept it
Best secret for like a decade
It’s like they over kept it
Doubts feel like some hell fire
Burning through cloudy smoke it crept in
But you know a prophesy
Going to hit 'em from the blind side
Acting like they can’t see this shit
They going to turn a blind eye
But you ain’t got to ride a wave
When you built for high tide
In spite
Of all the spite
How Jesus came
On God I still rise
Praying that it’s finna work
Praying that it’s finna work
What they say about the faith?
If it don’t come wit work
So I got to go to work
So I got to go to work
They ain't never had the purpose
I been knowing since birth
You know they never believed
You know they still gon lurk
You know I’m taking the lead
Then the real ones stampede
Praying that it’s finna work
Praying that it’s finna work
What they say about the faith
If it don’t come with work
They still wishing one day
This a one way
I’m searching for the entrees
This a buffet
Cracking that code
Back in that mode
Never lacking
Put that my soul
Man in taxing
The back end calling
I can’t put it on hold
On this road
You know I gotta go
You know the demons
Scheming on the low
Got to be careful who you calling bro
Rich in my spirit
Never dying poor
Through the trials
And tribulations
I pour up
My feet to the ground
Hoping these prayers go up
I know my reign is coming
Like I’m Noah
So through the pain I’m thumbing
Dodging cobra
All the lames
They ain't never know us
You know I got to go
You know I got to
You know I got to go
You know I got to
You know I got to go
Go, Go
