40 DAYS
(专辑: L O W B L O W - 2023)
Welcome back (Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back) I
know it's been a
minute (I know it's been a
minute, I
know it's been a
minute, I
know it's been a
minute) We been busy (We been busy, we been busy, we been busy) I
got a
lot to show you (I got a
lot to show you, I
got a
lot to show you, I
got a
lot to show you) I'ma be honest though (I'ma be honest though) Tribe on the
move It ain't pretty Yeah Say a
prayer for me and mine, I
got a
need to climb Come and see my daily conversation with the
divine Lately, it just looks a
lot more like staying silent Whether or not I
speak really ain't gon' change climate Don't talk to me like I
don't clap giants I'm too gassed up, feel like Joe Biden Some of y'all passed up, and now you apologizing Y'all wanna act up, I
wanna act like I
ain't violent You put it on your kid's life, how you not slidin'? I
don't even wanna speak if I
can't stand by it They showed us what a
man was, but I
had to redefine it I'm working on self-control, and being okay with crying Y'all said I'm way off, y'all said I'm backsliding How you got eternal life, and still feel like dyin'? Just 'cause God won, it don't mean "Stop fightin'!" (Fightin') Be who He said I
am, man, I'm still trying 95 How many more times I
gotta cry out before You answer? Man, I'm still trying I'm tired Yeah Life getting better, but my eyes getting redder (But my eyes gettin') My mind feeling like a
tightrope tether (That's a
tightrope) One side hell, and the
other side heaven (And the
other side) One man's hell, that's another man's lesson Bread gon' rise with a
little bit of leaven (Just a
little bit) One bad speech gon' ruin the
whole message Almost OD'd tryna gather my credit (Where my credit at?) Set my soul free if I
really would let Him Twenty years of pain feel like forty days of pouring rain (Noah) Noah, if you know it, then you feel the
same (Phew) Love and fear together doesn't correlate (Doesn't correlate) The
Gospel giving everything I
felt the
Torah take (Taking it back!) Trauma isn't always very obvious I'm finding out my childhood was haunted with accomplishments (Wow) Lose my sense of self without applause Insecurity is close whenever arrogance involved (When the
arrogance involved) Problems that my parents couldn't solve Passed down from before, gonna end with me (Me) Had to look into the
mirror and say "Let me be" Sent a
message through the
tears and say "Set me free" (Free, free, free, free, free, free, free) Someone once told me (Someone once told me, someone once told me) "Good sailors (Good sailors, good sailors) Ain't made with calm seas" (Calm seas, calm seas) We in the
middle of a
storm I
can't believe the
things I'm looking at My wife cooking dinner for me in a
brand new house I
shaved my head, so I
could grow it back And that's a
metaphor for everything I've been through I'ma tell y'all 'bout I
deconstructed everything that I
believe in, back to the
beginning And built it back on top of Christ the
Risen I'm still an Isaac on a
lot, but ain't the
journey half the
point in livin'? I'm worried less about the
politicing I've learned less in school than talking with my friends over drinks I
learned that money makes you happier than most people think I
learned the
people you call friends can really change in a
blink I
learned forgiveness more than just a
sentiment that you think I
learned that just 'cause you ain't fail, it doesn't mean that you pass I
learned that things done in the
dark come back to bite in the
uh I
learned that people trust you more if you take off the
mask "Ayo, is you a
Christian rapper?" I'm so glad that you asked I'm a
imperfect complex padawan of Yeshua Judge me by my fruit, not the
market for a
genre We bringing meat that we gonna chew on with the
rest of ya Indie tribe back to save lives through the
Father Oi, quiet on the
set Camera rolling Take one, action
