Verse 1 (Darko)
Reminiscing on my last year
Momma prayed, what I want for the season
Im like drop an album, people search my name and hear Jesus,
And it came to past
We preyed on the future it came to past
But the fame only last for a minute
Got some things to bury in my hourglass
Some success, and some regrets
But I don't write to remember
Recollect and I write to forget
Got some weight I wanna get off my chest
Yeah my heart burns,
Had to finish that when my heart broke
But I know you repair so I'm praying Is this another test
Are you getting even with my sins cuss my flesh is at odds with you?
But I read your word and I know I gotta suffer, It's a privilege that I'm called to do
Father I know that you love me, though I wreck my life
You always got a plan, and your wisdom's above me
And I cannot be plucked from your hand
And when I don't understand, you speak soft to me, to tackle this
So I Turn the music up
Carry my cross, like I got to get back to this
Soon to be a graduate, hope's to be a trail blazer
Burning bridges and speak life, at least 1 less deaths in the paper
If we only see in part, I'll give em all that I got
Looking back I'm salt,taking my chances, and that is my lot
Hook (Andy Mineo)
I feel like it's the real me
Feel me?
Yeah, I been changed
But I'm still me
What I am now
Not what I will be
I'm trying to give life
But this could be the death of me
Oh
The death of me
This could be the death of me
Oh
(just trying to give life, what I do for a living could kill me)
Yeah-yeah-yeah
The death of me
This could be the death of me
(just trying to give life, what I do for a living could kill me)
Yeah-yeah-yeah
Verse 2 (Darko)
On the day I found music, momma knew that she lost me
Some say they want my life, but man, they don't really know what it cost me
Parents think I left them, sleeping on couches, my car, other people's houses,
School next day eyes red and I'm slouching, still tryna figure who my spouse is/
I'm not even famous...
But it gets real when your put on a playlist
Borderline dangerous, getting emails from fans dropping their knifes
Eye carefully watch on my life, being above reproach
Swallow my pride trying to build up dudes, But lord knows I got a deep throat
Beat Death Christ is the cheat code
Got atheist who believe in me
Seeks, who be receiving me
While trying to serve the sheep
Putting truth in my bars, cuss I'm tired of being lied to
Even got drug dealers distributing my music and I'll try to supply you
Curse God, is what other guys do
But I'm on my job
Bless the narrow road till the wheels fall off, and we got spare tires
Many times I tried to retire, but it's evident, I'm called for this
To be what I needed when I go through it, and not just live anonymous
A deep breath for the depressed
A guilt trip to the goody too shoes
For the cool kids at recess
And all the Jacob tutus
And I do it for the TURNUP
Know my good works won't burn up
Knowing it earns us joy
So when we come through please discern us
Yeah, it's 2016 and I kind of got a team
Daniel and Anthony 2 years deep eating the fruit of our planted seeds
And nobody missing
My clique stand strong and forgiven
And we only getting bigger
Stronger, sharpening iron, blood bought sparks in our system
A guillotine of wisdom, trying to stay ahead of the game
No death by the cleavage, my eyes are fixed in the text, solely on his name
We fight the good fight
But the airs not what I'm swinging at
Taking shots at the kingdom of darkness get at that, decreed I'm shadow boxing
my dogs won't go back to vomit
16 years a slave to sin, insane to go back to the bondage
Hunger for his word and we crave to win
If we only see in part, I'll give em all that I got
If I Look back I'm salt, taking my chances, and that is my lot
