lyrics

I do not pretend to know everything I'm talking bout
but i know I'm sick like you get if you eat coffee grounds
illest in the mid west, but my rap is underground
don't know what you heard but some people like to talk about
What I'm doing how i do it what i use to get around
if you didn't get it then i don't know how you'll get it now
cash money stardom, that is not what I'm about
but if you wanna rap battle i will chase you out of town
get up on my level man its easy jesus put me there
I'm not flashy cause my light shines bright so people stop and stare
they say that I'm different thats okay cause i got time to spare
talking to em seeing how they're doing cause i got to care
God has changed my heart my life my soul and my eternity
got a heart for hip hop rap is how he burdened me
being something that I'm not has always been absurd to me
look inside yourself, God is asking "have you heard of me?"
you probably don't know this, even if you're a close friend to me
but for a long time i struggled with identity
who was what i was doing, and who was i supposed to be
collar flat or popped don't matter it was choking me
do i run with this crowd or hang with this posse
do i let these dudes lift me up what if they drop me
i always liked hip hop, rappin and rhymin
thought i went hard in the paint like blake griffin drivin
but I'm a light skinned white kid, aint no place for me
the rap game chain gang man it aint my place to be
but growing up i wore shirts that were 2 sizes to big
and my jeans sagged bad i was the silliest kid
from a small town in the mid west
whodda known that i been blessed
with this rap gift thats in my chest
i take the grace and leave the rest
I'm not saying ill be the best
i aint got time to be distressed
I take the first 10 out of my checks
give it back to the one who gave me breath
my witness is my lifestyle i wear the cross with pride
a caddy or toyota it don't matter what you ride
got that smart phone with that bible app its always on my side
so no matter where I'm at i got the word of jesus christ
word of God and it can't flop
it aint a crutch so stand up
house built on that same rock
he's faithful whether i am or not
reach flame on my tank top
spreading the word i can't stop
demons try to jack me up i need that belt of truth or my pants drop
I'm naked and exposed
no swiss on my wrist and my necks cold
play the cards you're dealt
better get a poker face cause i can't fold
hell is hot so i stay froze
when i get to heaven got bank rolls
can't hang with those fake bros
cause all your works can't save souls
He is the rock on which i stand
call me a jesus freak which i am
that soul healing music is still my jam
i been rocking these Beats before Will.I.Am
I'm tanked up swagged out
fist pump like paqiao
yeah i may be crazy
but I'll tell you Don't Speak i got No Doubt
