Preach (feat. Noelle)
Better preach what you practice... Preach
Don't you dare disrespect this... Preach
Things are looking up now... Preach
Cuz God is watching over this kid...
Better preach what you practice... Preach
Don't you dare disrespect this... Preach
Things are looking up now... Preach
Cuz God is watching over this kid...
Here we go, just like dosey-do, on this roller-coast
Up and down, back and forth, yeah, it feels like both
Where it stops, no one knows, I just need control
Need some prayers, need some growth, need a double dose
I've been looking for stability, all this uncertainty
Practically killing me, I have no energy
I could use an olive tree, some apologies
And it's all depressing me, do you think less of me?
So I write a message to these demons deep inside of me
Tell 'em heaven is my destiny, and it's best you leave
You can't get the best of me, even if this fight will be the death of me
I suggest you get off, let me rest in peace
Better preach what you practice... Preach
Don't you dare disrespect this... Preach
Things are looking up now... Preach
Cuz God is watching over this kid...
Better preach what you practice... Preach
Don't you dare disrespect this... Preach
Things are looking up now... Preach
Cuz God is watching over this kid...
Why can't I get this through to you, there's nothing I won't say to you
As long as I believe in it, there's nothing I'm afraid to do
You think you live a wholesome life, then why you scared to make a move?
I know a bunch of crooked dudes and guess what they be prayin' too
I'm the first to say that when I die, I'll be paying dues
Don't you dare compare me to you, I'm not the same as you
Hate me for this type of rap but you know I don't raise the roof
I'm not a perfect human being but, you know I say the truth
Why's it that, why someone dies, they become a saint 'n?
You and I both know, that dude was more like Satan
I don't mean to make a scene, really I'm just sayin'
Pearly gates is the not a place that this guy's gon' be waitin'
Better preach what you practice... Preach
Don't you dare disrespect this... Preach
Things are looking up now... Preach
Cuz God is watching over this kid...
Better preach what you practice... Preach
Don't you dare disrespect this... Preach
Things are looking up now... Preach
Cuz God is watching over this kid...
6:00, why, didn't you take me in my sleep, Lord?
You sitting next to God, but who's sitting next to me, Lord?
Something more important that you wanted to me to speak, Lord?
Maybe something deep, Lord? Inspire me, my sweet Lord
I'll be Your messenger and I'm prepared for them to shoot me
Don't act like this is "new me," this is just my call of duty
There's good that comes from my mistakes, daisies in my oopsies
My faith's a rock, even biggest couldn't mountains couldn't move me
If I got this monkey on my back, I'll be sure to set him down
Almost see the light now, conscious goes in and out
Final words, praise Your name, only thing I'm letting out
Pure like snow white's wedding gown, die right now: heaven bound
Better preach what you practice... Preach
Don't you dare disrespect this... Preach
Things are looking up now... Preach
Cuz God is watching over this kid...
Better preach what you practice... Preach
Don't you dare disrespect this... Preach
Things are looking up now... Preach
Cuz God is watching over this kid...
Don't you dare disrespect this... Preach
Things are looking up now... Preach
Cuz God is watching over this kid...
