forgot this part of my story
went through the great depression
i'm talking extreme highs and lows
a lot of ig followers that ain't what makes you special
posted up with designer clothes
a lot of ppl take they life cause they can't take the pressure
hiding behind they talent
most people don't really feel you if you ain't successful
if you never reached your desired goals
vicious cycles ambition these are interesting days
it's hard not to compete in a digital age
faces buried in our phones like invisible graves
pictures taken it's no honor in minimum-wage
i remember my 9-to-5
you can do both have a job and kill it on spotify
never compromise
can only dot your i's
just be who you supposed to bethat's how you honor god
whatever's meant to be is to be
whatever god has for me is just for me
in him i find my treasure
i find my pleasure
i feel so breathless
there's nothing this world can offer now
i have a future in the clouds
where the streets are made of gold
there's something to look forward to
this world can't have my soul
no no
music is what i do it's not who i am
same human that momma saw on da sonogram
because of da image that i been made in
i would still be amazing waiting tables washing pots and pans
da joneses boy it's so hard to keep up
slow down when you riding on speed bumps
i can still hear da wisdom of my father like
don't let talent take you where character can't keep ya
i guess it's time that we racing against
uninterrupted success is one of the greatest of threats
it's hard to stay faithful to god when u keep winning
so everytime god bless us boy he taking a risk
stay humble young lion
stakes high
there's hyena inside of you that should hate pride
don't hit the panic button when your numbers take a stage dive
you can relax your steps are ordered by a great god
whatever's meant to be is to be
whatever god has for me is just for me
in him i find my treasure
i find my pleasure
i feel so breathless
there's nothing this world can offer now
i have a future in the clouds
where the streets are made of gold
there's something to look forward to
this world can't have my soul
no no
i been loved and hated
praised and underrated
through feast and famine
my status has been debated
the least advantaged
some would say that i made it
since i reached a status
humbled by my creator
so i never changed
boy i'm still on my p and q's
when they try to get to compromise
i tell them n-0
boy cause i'm on my p and q's
and i'm just not that kind of guy
if it's for me then it is for me
i guess that's captain obvious
i use the music to set the people free
that's why i like a captive audience
i'm just trying to get you across
build you a bridge
cause applause is so paper thin
top to bottom
balling and broke i seen it all
and i'm learning to be content
whatever's meant to be is to be
whatever god has for me is just for me
in him i find my treasure
i find my pleasure
i feel so breathless
there's nothing this world can offer now
i have a future in the clouds
where the streets are made of gold
there's something to look forward to
this world can't have my soul
no no
