Verse 1 This is not a dream, this is a nightmare What you gonna do when your sin don’t fight fair? No competition, I don’t got a microphone peer Get in in my own, this that boy “you don’t belong here” Long hair woman got me thinking what is wrong here Everybody see me, think he perfect, he not from here Where I’m tryna run from, everybody wanna come there Land of lusty thoughts, nahh you don’t wanna go there I’m a broken man, I’m just tryna get a quick fix Everybody watching like a homie was on Netflix Everything they say I got, still be on my wish list God opens doors, I’m just tryna find the exit Fighting for my sanity, devil wanna smother me Sin wanna murder me, everybody follow me Boy I’m needing salary, music is no longer free Jesus please comfort me, and bring my momma back to me Bad man, where ya wan go? Were ya wan turn? Me I dun know Show me the way, me na wan miss the way Show me tha cross like it’s Easter Day
Chorus Devil wants to take my soul away Me don’t wanna go the other way I’m gonna lift my hand and pray I’mma thank Jah for amazing grace
I’mma thank Jah for amazing grace I’mma thank Jah for amazing grace Me no wanna go the other way I’mma thank Jah for amazing grace
Verse 2 Badman Omari, watagwan. Heart clean, only Jah can judge a man Me na wan smoke, tell em keep tha ganja man. Dem finna hear you, Streets call em badder man What’s the price of life, I’m sitting here thinking bout the afterlife Thinking will I go to heaven if I died tonight? Thinking do they only love me when I grab the mic? Who gone love me when it’s stormy, Hug ,me, hold me tight Cry with me, wipe my tears and tell me it’s alright? Now the girls say they love me, I know women lie And the boys say they behind me, all I see is knives Everyday another struggle, I gotta survive I gotta be strong, strive for eternal life Menace on the mic, but I be crying on these lonely nights Looking for vision in a world filled with empty sights Battling my flesh and sin, boy I gotta win Boy this ain’t a game, men beware of sin I’m on the narrow path and it’s got sharp bends Blessed be the man who endures till the end I’m going all out, like a substitute They say they ball, homie we ball out, it’s nothing new Life is a duel, devil don’t play by the rules So Keep your eyes on Jesus, ain’t no way you gone loose
Hook Look up to the rising son, look at the horizon Sorrow don’t last for long, joy finna come at dawn
