When I Write (feat. Moflo Music)

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I like this

Yeah, yeah

Hey, my wifey's pastor tells me all the time he likes what he hears

When I met him, I had only been writing for a couple of years

So, the message wasn't really as clear

He told me to pray about my direction, and promised I would be steered

I found myself being honest about the path that I stepped in

Everything I kept in, all the sin that just crept in

Now when I converse it ain't just all about the worst

And I can start out in reverse, and say

God, what's up? Let me check in (yeah)

I see what you're doing, don't know how you do it (don't know how you do it)

How you look at me and point me toward the right improvement (right improvement)

How you look at me and show that you can get the glory (you can get the glory)

Then make room for me to go out and go tell my story

You gave me the outlet, now I'm fully charged (fully charged)

Feel like Emmitt Smith, yo, I could rush a milli yards (milli yards)

Know that what I'm doing can all be for your delight (yo)

No matter how big or bright, I just know you'll let it shine

(When I write)

I am not a wordsmith

You blessed me with the words

I am here to give you all the credit you deserve

When I write, write, write, write, yeah

When they ask me who you are

That's when I know that I've gotta tell the news

Only one direction, I just point 'em all to you

When I write, write, write, write, yeah, yeah

My homie tells me I'm his favorite artist

I just laugh it off (yeah)

He said I've never known you, ever

To play around or be slacking off (slacking off)

He tells me, bro, you've got a gift, you've gotta use it (yeah)

Think about your influence and those that you're introducing

To the Christ, to the light, to the Father almighty

Think they're gettin' that from Nike? Bro, that's highly unlikely

You don't think you'll make a change?

Bro, you're highly mistaken (yeah)

Even if it's just one pair of eyes that are wide and awakened (yeah)

Never put down the pen, keep your hand on the pad

Never optimize a plan that compromises the brand

Christ first, wife second, don't you think 'bout what's last

Always recognize the power that your sanity has

But you gotta stay creative, gotta keep creating

Take your time with your craft, don't worry about who's waiting (don't worry)

Know that what you're doing can all be for His delight (yeah)

No matter how big or bright, I just know you'll let it shine (yeah)

(When you write)

I am not a wordsmith

You bless me with the words

I am here to give you all the credit you deserve

When I write, write, write, write, yeah

When they ask me who you are

That's when I know that I've gotta tell the news

Only one direction

I just point 'em all to you

When I write, write, write, write, yeah, yeah

My mama said she's proud of the man I've become

And the things that I'm doing out in the land of the Sun

And the words that I'm speaking about the God who is ours

And the fact that my faith is standing as strong as a tower

I may not be the best at what I do, but I'm blessed to be here to do it (yeah)

Even when I'm stressing, I'm pressing and still pursuing

Know that what I'm doing can all be for your delight

No matter how big or bright, I just know you'll let it shine

(When I Write)

I am not a wordsmith

You blessed me with the words

I am here to give you all the credit you deserve

When I write, write, write, write, yeah

When they ask me who you are

That's when I know that I've gotta tell the news

Only one direction

I just point 'em all to you

When I write, write, write, write, yeah

Let the music write, yeah

We gon' let the music write

Write, write, yeah
