Higher Purpose

Glory to God ain't no one higher If these were days of dear Elijah My verses would be a little more biblical Instead lately I been everything but spiritual I been busy chasing things like women money and fame AndYeah It's a sad case ain't it One of my biggest debts and I can never repay it Ain't it crazy my life could've gone a million ways I could've been locked up or shot dead that's why I give him praise You a bunch of other things I can't take beyond the grave Got a story I got a story who paved the way So many paths it's so easy for one to go astray I made decisions I ain't proud of but who hasn't Whatchu take from the experience what really matters Can't take it back so I'm pressing forward Gotta move with a purpose I can't go cutting corners Cause everything comes full circle when you least expect it That's why I'm righting all my wrongs if you wrong correct it That's why I'm writing out my wrongs so I won't forget it Can't keep repeating mistakes like I don't know any better I'm a son a man a friend a lover A rapper a prophet I serve no other One mission to love support each other But how can we make progress we can't even see past colors It's deeper than that It's deeper than rap It's deeper than anything you can fathom don't be quick to react Focus on the what's what gotta look at the facts Before you say or do something that you can't take back Round of applause Round of applause You deserve it you been working so hard Working 9-5 jobs just to live how you want Circumstances won't right but you gave it your all Round of applause Round of applause You deserve it cause you made it this far Yeah you held it in cause you had to be strong You done came a long way look where you are I done had so many talks with myself Like whatchu doing Is this really how you wanna spend yo days being foolish You ain't finna waste the sacrifices made for you is ya Slinging dope or gang banging cause you fit the description I grew up round the people society didn't claim Got brothers missing fathers despising their last names That hate'll get you nowhere except an early grave And there ain't a consolation you can give that's worth the pain For those left behind You can see the hurt they going through it's in their eyes They so used to smiling through it when they wanna cry Why I'm showing love even when my anger justified They don't seem to remember I'm a son a man a friend a father A rapper a prophet I serve no other One mission to love support each other But how can we make progress we can't even see past colors It's deeper than that It's deeper than rap It's deeper than anything you can fathom don't be quick to react Focus on the what's what gotta look at the facts Before you say or do something that you can't take back Round of applause Round of applause You deserve it you been working so hard Working 9-5 jobs just to live how you want Circumstances won't right but you gave it your all Round of applause Round of applause You deserve it cause you made it this far Yeah you held it in cause you had to be strong You done came a long way look where you are This one for my brothers and sisters out there Facing depression Anxiety Bills Poverty Your season of blessings is coming So don't you lose sight of what you've got Just because you've been constantly reminded of what you've lost You're not alone It won't be long Stay strong Yours truly
