Closer to God |
I don’t know why I get high |
Maybe I’m tryna get closer to God |
Got broken wings but I’m still fly |
Baby, I’m tryna get closer, closer to God |
Uh, all praise to the Most High |
Life’s a beach, so I’m drivin' up the coastline (Yeah) |
Thinkin' about the places where I spent the most time |
Stay fresher than button-ups and bow ties, uh |
Cuttin' up in the church pews (Pews) |
Son of a preacher, made Mama sang blues (Blues) |
Church hymns paid the rent, Mama paid dues |
My daddy bought him a Cadi', my cousin just bang rules |
My older brother bang I-F (Uh) |
Stumbled into church, I heard the biggest lie yet |
Said, «If you love God, you give up the ganja» |
Long before kush, broke niggas would buy stress, but, uh |
You don’t condemn the lion and the greed (Uh) |
If a shepherd drive sheep, you need a license to lead |
I bought into the game, I wish I kept the receipt |
With the spirit in my corner, I’ll never suffer defeat |
What’s good? |
I don’t know why I get high |
Maybe I’m tryna get closer to God |
Got broken wings but I’m still fly |
Baby, I’m tryna get closer, closer to God |
What’s your addiction? |
(Yeah) Is it money? |
Is it girls? |
Is it trees? |
I can’t admit it (Yeah) |
I need God to keep workin' on me |
But what’s the difference if you choose to cruise through the hood In big-body |
Benzes on D’s? |
(On D’s) |
Oh, you like to ball 'til you fall? |
And wouldn’t lend a blanket to a nigga even if he gon' freeze? |
Please |
Some drank (Some drank), some smoke (Some smoke) |
Some judge other people, some don’t (Some don’t) |
We all buy from corporations that fund genocide |
Military supplies to the young cult, cope |
But anyways, you don’t need trees to get a fade |
I get up like I saw police and hit the gate |
You don’t need pills to elevate |
Just remember to stay strong and pray for better days |
I’m high |
I don’t know why I get high |
Maybe I’m tryna get closer to God |
Got broken wings but I’m still fly |
Baby, I’m tryna get closer, closer to God |
Feelin' below the weather like I’m underneath a storm cloud (Cloud) |
I hear the rain, I’m prayin' that it keep pourin' down (Pourin' down) |
Lord knows we battled so many woes |
Traveled so many miles, our Nike soles have worn out |
Uh, I go to church to listen (Yeah) |
The music had me lifted, the sermon left me conflicted (Yeah) |
The one who holds the throne said, «Cast the first stone |
Only if you never sinned», and you callin' yourself a Christian? |
Well, As-Salaam-Alaikum to my haters (Haters) |
Peace be unto you, hypocritical instigators |
Church players, pulpit pimps, and divinators |
I pray the congregation can march to a different cadence |
Sparkin' a different strand with papers in different flavors (Yeah) |
Smellin' like an outcast, hop on this elevator |
We gone (We gone) and that’s some shit I speak on |
Only 'cause I been through it, you preach but we live music |
Let’s go |
I don’t know why I get high |
Maybe I’m tryna get closer to God |
Got broken wings but I’m still fly |
Baby, I’m tryna get closer, closer to God |
