Best of Me

All of the things I do for love
Wonderin' if it's good enough
I can't let it take control of me
But I promise I'll be
I promise You'll see
I promise to give you the best of me

Yeah, will I let you down
Will I disappoint
If it's too many bars will you miss the point
Rappin' that Similac
May give them boys tenderloins
Makin' music for the shows
Or explicit joints
Paying homage to the head
The killer bees
A bunch of similes
Over Dilla beats
Or maybe I instead start mimicking the industry
Get trapped in a genre that isn't me
I know you gotta play the game for the victory
Balance is the challenge
Selling out is a quick defeat
Trying not to let my identity be wrapped up
In whether or not play repeat or skip this beat
Whether or not you're impressed by my wordplay
Drama that my verse makes
Keeping me in first place
Was that line offensive?
Should you run it back?
Did you catch that metaphor on the first play?
Is my status based off of endless tweets
If you talkin' classics
Will you mention me?
I don't wanna let y'all down
What if you don't feel me
Will you have a field day
If this feels week
I know I probably shouldn't say this, but
Hey it's Sinema
I'm giving you the real me
Is this pressure because I made my success an obsession
Am I lesser?
When Christ says that I'm already accepted now
The standard that I'm holdin' up
Is the reason I can't let you down

All of the things I do for love
Wondering if its good enough
I can't let it take control of me
But, I promise I'll be
I promise you'll see
I promise to give you the best of me

It's been two years
And I am afraid of not makin' a classic that's not Wake Up
The weight of the weight of the last one
Kinda takes a toll on my heart
Pay up keep it in line
Shape up
Taper gonna take a whole lot more to fade us
You see what my heart made of
Darker than Darth Vater
Want the Mark Jacobs
More than the latter
That's Mark Jacobs
The latter is far greater
Small taters compared to the glory
The Lord's been storin' for our say
Cause after Revelation
Way before Sega
That's Genesis
Images makin' us far greater
So I ain't gotta measure up to your standard
Cause I know I don't measure up to your standard
Perfection of the Cross
Cause I'm inadequate to handle this
My heart wasn't made for glory
But the blessing of the Cross
Makes me that equipped to battle this
Why? Cause Jesus stands before me
I'm human
I know, I'm prone to fail u-r-e
So at some point I'm gonna fail you sorry
Uh, It's freedom in that
So stop stressin'
On whether I'm hot or not
Not stop guessin'
I don't need your two thumbs up
So stop textin'
Perfection is the goal
But excellance is accepted
All last year I was wrestling with depression
School of Hard Knocks
Till I finally learned a lesson
You don't learn to trust God
Till you gotta trust God
Don't learn you got nothin'
Until it's just God

All of the things I do for love
Wondering if its good enough
I can't let it take control of me
But, I promise...
I promise you'll see
Oh, I promise to give you the best of me
All of the things I do for love (I do for love, I do for love)

"Hey, its Mya again, I haven't heard from you,
So I was just calling to check up you. Check up on us.
Something feels really different about us.
I feel a distance between us, and I,
I just want you to know that I would never do anything to hurt you.
That I respect you,
And I really want nothing more than to be by
Your right side, so please call me again, please."
