Fear of God

Daniel, come in here and throw some ad libs

Aye, Fear

Yuh, yuh, let's go

I had to bury my fear of man 'cause my God reigns
And everything on God 'Cause He created all things. I mean... (On God!)
Grandma taught me how to be content and not put faith in riches
My confidence is in the Spirit, despite if He grant my wishes
We got real connection, He is not a genie
And I been peeped the game call me Mr. Feeny
Going beast mode you can pass the Skittles
Played the big joker, don't speak in riddles
I got some wins, but lost count of losses
And I done lost count of the times I've lost it
And I'm not ashamed, had to speak with counselors
Just to sort the trauma, drama, needing answers
I done learned a lot in a third of life
Disappointments and a couple heights
So many things out of my control
Man the problems seem like they come and go
Everyday it's a different issue
They kill our sons and never offer tissue
But we keep fighting 'til we get the justice
Man I pray for folks out here that fight injustice
Man look, all I do I do it for the city
Keep on grinding even though it's gritty
On a mission to equip the youth.
Give them skills, wisdom, knowledge, truth
We want progress but they offer change
Not knowing that the two are not the same
It's the same story they just changed the hustle
But I've never made progress without the struggle

Don't take my courage for defiance
I know I stand on the shoulders of giants
They paved the path to all the goals I've reached
So I can't walk through this life casually (Nah)
Onward upward fam, no looking back
Only to remember all the faith I had
My confidence in God
No weapon formed will stand
He will protect your soul
So be strong, be bold

A clear vision goes a long way
But fighting for your dreams gon' take some long days
I can't lose faith
Done beat too many odds
Despite the times I've lost
You can't stop what's God's
I get it now when my Ma said "Keep on living."
You can't plan for everything you're given
She knew that one day I would learn the lesson
But smile whenever I would ask a question
I know I knew better but still see trouble
Finding my path, stepping through the rubble
God clear my vision when I see double
And get my opponents up out the huddle
Readings essential highlight when you see this
Fear of God on me don't make me elitist
I got real powers but don't act pretentious
Just don't interrupt 'til I finish my sentence
Whoa, you can't see me boy
World can't still this joy
You can't stop what's mine
I can't stop what's yours
I guess I traveled down a different road
I guess that's why they say they never see me
God slow me down if I break the code
Don't take me where my character won't keep me
I see the vision, let's make it plain
You either fold or you raise your game
This life is a breath I can't let my dreams go
So I'm leaving my mark, hope you enjoy the show
Let's go (Ayeee)

Don't take my courage for defiance
I know I stand on the shoulders of giants
They paved the path to all the goals I've reached
So I can't walk through this life casually (Nah)
Onward upward fam, no looking back
Only to remember all the faith I had
My confidence in God
No weapon formed will stand
He will protect your soul
So be strong, be bold
