| Trusting in myself I made a lot of mistakes
|
| Caused a lot of pain was basically a disgrace
|
| If it weren’t for Your spirit I never woulda learned
|
| Stuck up in this foolishness but I’m gon' be wiser now
|
| I thank You for renewing my mind
|
| Making me wiser now
|
| And now I dedicate my time
|
| To be wise
|
| My pen’s drifting
|
| Through the current of this college rule
|
| Then I climb from under Plymouth Rock
|
| Turned into a polished jewel
|
| Nowadays if You ain’t doing hot ish
|
| Then you are not as cool
|
| So which one are you?
|
| The prideful genius or the modest fool?
|
| My vision’s crystal clear
|
| It’s like a spotless pool
|
| And the concrete
|
| Gave me all this knowledge
|
| I ain’t got a school
|
| For real
|
| All hail the Father on His sovereign stool
|
| And if you can’t help to fix the problem
|
| You are not a tool
|
| I ain’t interested at all if it’s been done before
|
| Most niggas fail cuz they’re scared to leave
|
| Or just too dumb to go
|
| It’s real you’ll feel it if
|
| I take you through this jungle bro
|
| Hella trees and hella bees
|
| Two 3's and that number 4
|
| Huh
|
| Christ is the hope we find within this hopeless time
|
| He threw the whole world on His back
|
| And never broke His spine
|
| And they claim there’s no designer for this whole design
|
| It’s wretched
|
| But a man without no message never holds a sign
|
| Trusting in myself I made a lot of mistakes
|
| Caused a lot of pain was basically a disgrace
|
| If it weren’t for Your spirit I never woulda learned
|
| Stuck up in this foolishness but I’m gon' be wiser now
|
| I thank You for renewing my mind
|
| Making me wiser now
|
| And now I dedicate my time
|
| To be wise
|
| The only thing I’ve ever perfected
|
| Was imperfection
|
| So I keep my gaze up to Yeshua
|
| Searching for direction
|
| Hard headed running everything
|
| With no protection
|
| A misguided misfit
|
| That’s known for misdirection
|
| 'Til I encountered His affections
|
| That healed my perceptions
|
| I was a bull in a china shop
|
| With pent up aggressions
|
| Had so many confessions
|
| But not like Usher Ray
|
| Was more like Buggsy Siegel
|
| Busting with a rusty K
|
| But every time I try to take it in my own hands
|
| I ended up with broke plans
|
| Bankrupt with no bands
|
| And just like Christ
|
| Through suffering
|
| I learned obedience
|
| Whatever it takes for me
|
| To finally learn these ingredients
|
| Cuz one thing I will never be is on autopilot
|
| I’m never silent
|
| And I’m waging war for all my migrants
|
| My people perished
|
| For lack of knowledge and Godly wisdom
|
| So I’m making sure that I’m equipped
|
| And that’s just what I give 'em
|
| Trusting in myself I made a lot of mistakes
|
| Caused a lot of pain was basically a disgrace
|
| If it weren’t for Your spirit I never woulda learned
|
| Stuck up in this foolishness but I’m gon' be wiser now
|
| I thank You for renewing my mind
|
| Making me wiser now
|
| And now I dedicate my time
|
| To be wise
|
| As the mob swerves in silence and
|
| I observe these tyrants
|
| In the book of Proverbs
|
| I look to God’s words for guidance
|
| My good posture’s the finest
|
| Cuz they want me to keep my head down
|
| From a red town
|
| City of Kings
|
| Where you could catch a lead crown
|
| From the bottom
|
| So I ain’t got problems
|
| I’m too up to get let down
|
| And I don’t hit the bakery for bagels
|
| But I keep some bread 'round
|
| The love of money’s idolatry and it leads to sin
|
| It’s used to celebrate the debauchery that my people’s in
|
| I wanna see my people win
|
| But wealth is not the finish line
|
| Could buy a grocery store
|
| And still be selfish when it’s dinner time
|
| Money ain’t gon' change your heart
|
| At best it’ll only change your mind
|
| You copped a chain cuz you’re enchained and blind
|
| For real
|
| Don’t outrun your maturity
|
| It’s best to stay behind
|
| Cuz you ain’t blessed if you successful
|
| Yet with a wretched state of mind
|
| Gain the world
|
| Lose your soul
|
| For all it’s worth you earned a L
|
| Ball on earth and burn in hell?
|
| That’s an eternal fail
|
| Trusting in myself I made a lot of mistakes
|
| Caused a lot of pain was basically a disgrace
|
| If it weren’t for Your spirit I never woulda learned
|
| Stuck up in this foolishness but I’m gon' be wiser now
|
| I thank You for renewing my mind
|
| Making me wiser now
|
| And now I dedicate my time
|
| To be wise |
