Intercession

Have you ever had a vision
It's so real that you can taste it
But to manifest it
God said, you must have patience
So you waiting for your dreams
And start chasing all these things
Our hearts desire
To be famous
See your name up on the screen
It takes the place of true belief
Because you treasure the affections
Of a world that's so conceited
That it mocks the Lord of heaven
So you stressing for materials
Lose focus on the spiritual
Desire fades
And now you change the message on the stereo
I'm a rapper whose christian, or a Christian that's rapping
Are you influenced by the gospel
Or the music that's trapping
Simple question
That takes reflection
Let's get back to the matter
Are your gifts made for glory
Or to fatten your platter
And does glory come from the dollars
Or the lives you encounter
And plant a seed with a message
Cause the gospel has power
I am not an entertainer
I disciple the mic
And use this music as a method
To bring darkness some light

Are you tryna bring the light
Or are you caught up in that darkness
If the money talked
Would it show us where your heart is
Treasure in this world
Or rewards up in heaven
It's the Pastor with a message
I'll just call it intercession

I say a prayer for entertainers
Cause they playing a role
Identity built on commercials
And the stories you've told
But in reality you struggle
With the worth of your soul
Cause nobody ever wonders
How celebrity stole
Your Privacy, and opinions
While your challenged the most
The platform didn't raise you
It just exalted your ghost
Imaginations mixed with industry
Created the GOAT,
But now you can't escape
The monster that created the Gold
And now you stuck like scrudge McDuck
And the tale it unfolds
Cause all the glory turned to wealth
And all the millions impose
Such a burden
Cause you trapped beneath a mountain of foes
And you ain't prayed for help
Since the days you were broke
So you seeking hope
In a bottle
The pills, wine and liquor
Give you a sense of peace
You still can find the trigger
That offers any release
Depressions tight gripper
So I pray for your relief
Just light his light hit ya
