From the recording By the Grace
Lyrics
I just turned off the TV, you know what's on
Updates on bad news throughout the day
Long evenings with teammates striving to achieve heights unseen
A cloak of invisibility couldn't hide my insecurities about numerous things
Will it all fall down?
It ain't about who's ballin' now
Do your thing and do what matters
I studied adverbs and grammar
I wasn't weighing grams I studied great rappers
My sis just got home, the TV's back on
I'm chillin' on the max mode watching Wild N Out
My heroes never bowed down to doubt
If it ain't right decline the amount
I wanna be aligned with the Crown
Thesis complete, I received my cap and gown
You know when the feelings surreal?
Been investing in creating a career
Excelling in my field
I'm doing all that I can
My plan is to understand
Stay down, work hard till the pay off starts
You know as well as I know, as I know
Stay down, work hard till the pay off starts
You know as well as I know, as I know
I'm back on road
Only a couple nights before I'm gone
Continuing the journey
Be back soon, in the meantime I'm learning
Writing down my dreams and goals
Reading on the seven woes
It's time to fend for my own
When the nights get cold, I'll bundle up
Some nights I lay, looking up
Imagining, mind traveling everywhere that it can
To see the view from the canopy
All this news about the candidicies
Though they rarely keep it candid when they speak
It's got me unsure what to think
I pour me up a lil' drink, roll me up a lil treat
Then retreat to the beat
And let my pen bleed like the Savior
Change is nature, don't get too familiar
Any day anything can happen
I'm doing all I can
Help me to understand
Stay down, work hard till the pay off starts
You know as well as I know, as I know
Stay down, work hard till the pay off starts
You know as well as I know, as I know
Truth is found where the real is
The Messiah's head been under the crown
And it still is
Devils wanna lay me down, air me out, pillage
Everything I own, the war is on in the Spirit
I be fighting with the things I know
Things I feel
Are they real?
Spending time with the Most High you gon' have a glow
Moses when he came down from the hill
I got a message for the people that's lost
Searching for a blessing like the thief on the cross
Worship is a weapon toward the enemy's heart
All the praise belongs to Him who covered the cost
I seen a lot of promises get made in this fallen world
Only thing I trust is being saved when it all unfurl
Fighting off the lust when it come to seeing all these girls
Scrolling through the gram blessed these days
To keep it thorough
Stay down, work hard till the pay off starts
You know as well as I know, as I know
Stay down, work hard till the pay off starts
You know as well as I know, as I know
