Lyrics

It's like


It's like the Devil tryna scare you


And then the angels come in and the angels


They let you know Who's in charge


I tried living apart from God


At times I was feeling so far from God


My faith in these people done left me scarred


The hatred and hurt was so bizarre


I thought that they would always ride for me


I cried, but nobody replied to me


I questioned the truth inside of me


And right about then, is when the Dеvil had lied to me


Like, "Hold up, God got you, Hе don't ever show up


All His people acting like they know you


Tell you that you do it for the money, fame, power, tryna blow up


Why you playing games? Time to grow up


You've been reading Bibles and leading studies and helping your little buddies


But tell me what it's really doing for you


They gon' still tell you're fake and phony, assuming your every motive, so what's the point of tryna keep it loyal?


Said you had faith faith, you're starting to race bait


Can't even take dates, you hoping to save faith


Trying to go mainstream in order to reach folk


Ain't nobody rocking with you, especially these folks


I lost it, while I'm drinking liquor in my closet


I used to pray in here, but now I'm saucy


I'm losing money, I'm a lost prophet


I'm making bad decisions, every time I get exhausted


Lord, I don't even really know the real me now


Demons got me tripping, tryna kill me now


Satan tryna figure who can help get delivered


Send an angel in a Uber, come and heal me now


Evil, you ain't got no control of me


I'm never too far from the blood that flow from me


I lost a lot, but got too much to gain, I'll prolly never be the same


And I ain't worried, 'cause I know He restoring me


Ayy, had to suffer through the storm, no cap


Uh, yeah, I signed a deal, but I ain't really gettin' racks


Could've fell up in the pit, huh, lost my track


Uh, switch up the flow like He switched up my past


Everything different when I hit the glass


Looked at the 'Gram more then I look to fast


Stuck in my head, I don't know where I'm at


All of that fame don't last


Can You restore me?


You gotta quote this, recording


I never thought that my life had a story


My testimony a ET for homie


I see new dimensions like I'm Rick and Morty


Uh, no pun intended, He callin'


I ain't lookin' back, I'm all in


I put my heart in the offering


And the whole church say, "Amen"


Ayy, yeah


Been at the bottom, but God told me flip my perspective


It's all in perception


'Cause every time that I feel low, He gon' step in (Yeah)


Make sure when you runnin' you got some direction


The Devil, he plottin', I see the the deception


But haven't you noticed when we at our lowest that's when our prayer life be havin' some focus? Ooh


When I'm winnin' am I choosin' you?


If you missin' every winner lose


Here lies the body, it's someone who bodied the verses


Reversing the generation of the curses


'Cause G-O-D is the One we puttin' first


Took my flesh and put it in a hearse


At my moment's when I feel my worst


I know, God restoring though it hurts oh


Can't reverse, no


An alert soul


Let the church go


Mmm, yeah


I've been up five days 'cause I'm tired of strugglin' on Fridays, yeah (Tired)


Lord, I want me a Hellcat, but You know I might speed on the highway (Lord, I really want one)


And I met me some hellcats that be talkin' so bad on they potluck


Never met a Mercedes my partner


With the real ones, ain't none of them pro'lems (Oh, no)


So I look for they cap at the altar


Got to make it back home to my daughters, yeah


I'm so sick of these cryin' men


They just want me to play, I'm in bondage


That's why I never said nothin' when they tried to come for us on top ten, yeah


Now they say that I'm top ten (Huh?)


They must not know I'm top five (Let's go)


In the gym I hang on the rim (I hang)


Otto Rocket, stop playing with him (Stop playing)


Nah, for real, I'm standing beside that


I'm so real, so sorry, can't hide that (I can't)


How come you just don't tell us what happened? (What happened)


From the street with a passion


Maybe this money won't let me in passio


But I thought it would change with a record deal and when I start believin'


Had to win the season for a certain reason


So I signed to Reach and then I started speakin' to the realest people, got behind me


We really fightin' demons for the real meaning


Got a teriyaki and I'm Polynesian


It's in my city, better sign in


Got a gang of songs I wanna chime in (1K forever)


Never scary, but we God-fearin'


They can't tell us now, but we God-cheerin'


Honda Civic, I know God's steerin'


In the Lamborghini, I know God's steerin', yeah, yeah


That He pioneered, yeah, yeah


That we [?], yeah, yeah, yeah


Get a load of me, yeah, yeah


Just talked to 'Crae, he said, "Hold on, got a top-five in here"


I told him, "Good, 'cause I ain't goin' back to flyin' over frontier"


Hundred percent to below zero, world givin' me chills, oh


Had to go back and restore my whole life, folks ain't real, oh, ayy


We're all on the journey of bein' restored and that's the choice that we make


Do you want that process, do you wanna engage or do you wanna sit in, you know, in dysfunction? You know what I'm sayin'?


Do you wanna sit rusted or do we wanna join in on this process of bein' restored?
