Look uh

Early in the morning got sun in my eyes

Giving glory to God I'm alert and alive

I ain't even sleep I been workin' I'm tired

But it's not gon' deter my assignment

At the Lord's service like I'm workin' a job

Black man shouted robbin' people in Kalb

Playin' Crime Mob he a child of the corn

Take him into court and on the Bible he sworn

Take him into church you know your mom and them goin'

To praise a King with a crown that's provided with thorns

Breakin' rules skippin' school pullin' fire alarms

Got with a crew made a truce an alliance was formed

Got a tool start shootin' then the violence was born

The world spinnin' as he look into the eye of the storm

Pray for the boy bow head then lock arms

And lock your car doors he could trigger the alarm

Got caught one time and they left him with just a warnin'

Got baptized in cold water it turned warm

He blacked out don't act out he ain't performin'

Our only path now is back to prison reform or

Cold world you know the sad route

The key is get into the game and then cash out

Lil' buddy got to swervin' in the lane and then crashed out

It happens when you takin' the fast route

But I be tryna understand the mind of where you livin' in

Trauma to find a way a reminder put it behind us

Mission was unaccomplished it was tough

But in the rough we found diamonds

Category my life a comedy drama

Come with the comments come with the sticks or the stones

Come with that red dot I'm wearin' Comme des Garçons

Better come with a headshot better hit me drop me get me gone

'Cause when daylight come then you gon' wanna go home

Oh mhm let's go

He's decked us out

Hasn't God decked you out?

Hasn't He made you brand new?

Brought you up out of the muck and the mire?

Turned you around and placed your feet on solid ground?

He's decked you out can I get a witness?

Uh

And get this

Look uh

Nighttime I can see the stars and moon

And the light shine down on the wars and wounds

No guts no glory no thugs no goons

Just us my story my life my rules my fight

My plight when the light hit the jewels on my ice

My mood in the club off a lot of shots of Clase Azul

Hungover doin' million-dollar meetings on Zoom

Let the speaker resume

Aye yeah we can hear you now go ahead Victoria

Hey guys hey JID just getting back from a meeting

The numbers are looking great and we're about to get

Look uh

Odds against me I'm against the odds Switch

Tryna get even see the evil in my eyes

Vengeance is the Lord so I leave it up to God

But if He don't move forward I'ma get me mines

Had you cleanin' out your closet I'ma empty mines

And if you tempt me sinner send 'em six feet down

Take a drive till Xzibit come and pimp me ride

I make her switch anything that ain't gon' get me time

You get the gist just in case I'm in the wrong state of mind

Which I am most the time but then I toe a thin line

Diamonds and gold shine twinkle and glisten so the women

Assemble like Voltron then try and get your attention

But I give it to the most high millionaire

Multi-talented multi-taskin' master

Multi-faceted multi-functionin' stander

.45 caliber four five passengers no life matters

When matter whatever so meet the pastor

Open the Bible up and read a chapter I'm tryna free the shackles

My brother back inside a cell so I just said a prayer

In the Garden of Eden say he couldn't help but eat the apple

Even after all of this stuff I'm at the chapel

And it's natural I know my foundation build castles

Even a statue no limitation in a time capsule

I'm sendin' glory up to God to give it back to you casual

Nothing in my wardrobe compares to what he's outfitted me with

Calvin Klein can't touch it Gucci can't touch it

Louis Vuitton can't touch it Armani can't touch it

I may not look much to you right now but God sees me through Christ

And when He sees me I look like a million bucks

Can I get a witness in here somebody? Hallelujah
