Lyrics
First things first don't you let 'em kill your dreams
If you want it better get up and get it by any means
Look,
God comes first and then the money come second
So keep on counting your blessings and stay embracing the lessons
I said
First things first don't you let 'em take your soul
I know when I meet my maker I ain't taking any gold
Look,
God comes first and then the money come second
So keep on counting your blessings and stay embracing the lessons
There's no shortcut to greatness you gotta grind
Just run the race at your pace staying patient and you'll be fine
You only lose when you give up and know that you gon' get tired
But how could you prove your heart if it wasn't part of the climb
See the fire refines, the journeys about becoming
The person that's capable of making it to the summit
The person you need to be to weather through any storm
It's gon' break you down and build you up way better than before
And I had some people switch on me, I've been taking it gracefully
Know the karma will play out and I'm just waiting here patiently
As he prepares a table in the presence of my enemies
I'm refining my spirit and purifying my energy
Know the Lord is beside me through all the nights in the dark
His word is a lamp to guide me and a light for my path
See I was lost and I was broken but I followed my heart
And what I learnt from the journey is in the following bars
First things first don't you let 'em kill your dreams
If you want it better get up and get it by any means
Look,
God comes first and then the money come second
So keep on counting your blessings and stay embracing the lessons
I said
First things first don't you let 'em take your soul
I know when I meet my maker I ain't taking any gold
Look,
God comes first and then the money come second
So keep on counting your blessings and stay embracing the lessons
All this weight on my heart is no longer serving me
I pray to God and then He remove it like surgery
No longer live in uncertainty how it burdened me
Patient knowing my purpose no longer chasing it urgently
Cuz' His timing is better than all my plans
Relinquishing my control and giving it to His hands
The journey of climbing mountains has brought me down to my knees
That's all that He ever needs and more than I understand cuz'
I'm just a man, the many ways that I'm flawed
Was yelling out at the world, so brazenly insecure
So arrogant in my step how I thought that I knew it all
So who do I have to blame when I fall…
But the Lord he catches me every time
He's holding me through the lows and smiling down at the highs
He's always been by my side I finally realise
He's living in every word and given me every line
First things first don't you let 'em kill your dreams
If you want it better get up and get it by any means
Look,
God comes first and then the money come second
So keep on counting your blessings and stay embracing the lessons
I said
First things first don't you let 'em take your soul
I know when I meet my maker I ain't taking any gold
Look,
God comes first and then the money come second
So keep on counting your blessings and stay embracing the lessons
