Reign Still Shine

What's it mean to have a legacy that never dies?
A promise that I made
While he was dyin' right before my eyes
Ironic that he gave a life to his children
And now he livin' inside of mine
Doin' everything he visioned
But never did it 'cause God denied
But now the reign still shines
Through the darkest clouds of heaven
Through fightin' depression, the son risen
Waitin' for the correction like bad prisons
In the need of a second
I'm runnin' low on the minutes
Provided while I'm denyin' the verdict that he was given, I know
Bad witness
Still I pray a lot
Spendin' blessin's cause I don't know if I'm saved or not
Tell the story of my senior from a sacred spot
For my first album, not worried if I get played or not
Cleared the music that I had to that point
Now it's What About Before and I can't disappoint
Don't you ever try to anoint
The next greatest
Before you play this
'Cause after you're left with no other choice, I'm here
Battlin' fears
All of the tears dryin'
Tell me who gon' stop me when the throne is what I'm eyein'?
This a victory lap
To help me get back
He confirmed with me that he set and now his son risin'
Yeah

The reign still shine
The name lives on
Never let it die
It became too strong
I was made for the time
I ain't waitin' too long
We done came too far
We done came too far

Is it a sin if I question the plan of God?
When April 20th had him headin' where he reside
I seen it with my own two eyes
His demise
He left me to be the vessel
To keep him here and alive, so
Empty plates and emptier bottles birthed this
Turned me to a menace
To finish servin' my purpose
Takin' what I was given like medication to cure this
Sickness that I been cursed with
Flip scripts, rehearsin'
The questions I'ma ask when I finally get to meet him
Can you stress in heaven?
And where the reverend get greed from?
If they sendin' shots at me
Where am I 'posed to bleed from?
My heart already blacker than thoughts that rooted the tree trunks
Not on a quest for love
I prefer the hatred
Think it over twice, 'for you double up on that fake shit
Nowadays, Judas will be your shooter who may get
Jealous and turn his back
Then clap you 'til your face split
Over the pavement
I was born lackin' trust
They knew that he was dyin', but they still ain't showin' up
I knew what I was eyein', but I still ain't know enough
Now Mama cryin' for the same reason that we fussed
He ain't here
And that's a truth in it's own
They told me leave that deep shit behind on its own, and kick that
Rhetoric, heaven sent, better send
Weapons and angels
And blessin's from angles
While prayin' they came to save you shit
My shot came before I ever was warned
Now my inspiration come from all the moments I mourned
Nigga I bounced back through the quietest storm, to be the
Prodigy, knowin' logically I'm unharmed
By any methods
I'm plottin' on any second, to take it
To a higher level 'til the ones in heaven face it
My only fear was breakin' the promise I been chasin'
While hopin' that he proud of me, if I don't ever make it
From the dark, with nothin' but candles lit
The book of John, chapter 3, 16's I spit
Should be enough to convince
That he back here forever
I put it back in to motion
Devotin' to holy treasures
Embodying everything
Bodying what they bring
Body is gone, leavin' a soul to watch over me
He resurrected in April, while in me in every rhyme
I'm forever here to let these nigga's know
That the reign still shines on me
I know you lookin' down on me
Still it reigns
