Journey

(album: Church Clothes 4 - 2022)

Feels like you're in danger right now
Life got your back on the wall
Take everything or you're wrong
Even when impossible
Feels like there's no savior I know
Without a love and no hope
You're in a world on your own
Seems like it's impossible
Hold on, hold on, hold on
It's about the journey, yeah
Journey, yeah
Hold on, hold on, hold on
It's about the journey, yeah
Journey, yeah

Yeah, 2014 number one album worldwide
They said I'd be Maroon 5, I thought my crew lied
I used to focus on being some kind of athlete
I brought back home the gold for the weight of me and the track meet
Was smoking Nix and Nike while they was watching Nickelodeon
Now I'm giving sermons on stages without the podium
This gospel rapping took me from China to Ethiopia
Made to the top then Satan slipped me some opium
Foolish Christians causing division, worldly ambitions
Pretty misses wanna be mistress, watch where you visit
The devil's plan is oh so exquisite, all to distract me
Lord's still my shepherd, but now I guess I'm the black sheep
By the way, what happened at Passion no longer bothers me
Woke up hated by own people for sitting silently
Know I let a lot of folks down, but God was with me
Gotta forgive myself if I know that the Lord forgive me

Feels like you're in danger right now
Life got your back on the wall
Take everything on your own
Even when impossible
Feels like there's no savior I know
Without a love and no hope
You're in a world on your own
Seems like it's impossible
Hold on, hold on, hold on
It's about the journey, yeah
Journey, yeah
Hold on, hold on, hold on
It's about the journey, yeah
Journey, yeah

Yeah, I know I be doing the most
But really what you expect?
Your pops is a war hero, he did a term in Iraq
My pops is a vet, war on drugs left him a wreck
You inherited good ethics, he left lots of regret
I did a lot for the set, was banging for evangelicals
They said I lost my way when I told 'em I wasn't repping them
I should be angry, imprisoned, or on drugs
God helped me heal my trauma through shared blood
I walked the four yard in San Quentin to show love
The crips told me "come back soon," for sure, blood
Been all around the world bringing soul food
Million dollars later, still I ain't eating tofu
And if you going through it, cling to God, let Him hold you
It ain't the destination, it's the journey that molds you
Yeah, when you going through it, cling to God, let Him hold you
It ain't the destination, it's the journey that molds you

Feels like you're in danger right now
Life got your back on the wall
Take everything or you're wrong
Even when impossible
Feels like there's no savior I know
Without a love and no hope
You're in a world on your own
Seems like it's impossible
Hold on, hold on, hold on
It's about the journey, yeah
Journey, yeah
Hold on, hold on, hold on
It's about the journey, yeah
Journey, yeah
