G.O.D (Goals or Distractions)

Back to the basics
Finally hit the ground
Guess you call that ground breaking
God given gifts so you know you can't waste it
He be maken' room for the things you need to make it
He shows you all it takes and

Back to the basics
Finally hit the ground
Guess you call that ground breaking
God given gifts so you know you can't waste it
He be maken' room for the things you need to make it
He shows you all it takes and
Naturally they'll count you out
Surrendered all my plans
And it all worked out
I stopped tryna' get to a bag
With those who will only grab
When they see you near the crown
And try to humble you down
Click
Bow-bow-bow
That's the noise of the wild
Be grateful for your second chance
Cause someone won't get it now (Yeah)
I take this life pretty serious
Don't come for me less I sent for you
That's period

Finally I talked to G.O.D
He told me don't focus on them
Please focus on me
Finally I talked to G.O.D
Goals or distractions?
It's up to you bout' what you gon' feed (Yeah)
Finally I talked to G.O.D
He told me don't waste the talents
That give me a reason to breathe
Oh no (Yeah)
Only one life
Only one time
So I gotta' make it count
But I know that I'm

Gone
You can take away everything that I own
But you can't take away all this love in my soul
I follow my peace not the trauma
On mama don't do it for dollas' or white collas'
Stop bottlin' the drama
Stop silencing the author
Gotta' write the story down so the blue print proper
Solid is the way to be
Didn't know who I could be
I decided to be what I didn't see up on the screen
Translation
Big brudda'
Big homie
OG
Know me?
Naah'
It's always love for ya'
Feed your mind
Faith, truth, love
Don't let it die
Check your ego
And check in with God
Whenever you find the time

Finally I talked to G.O.D
He told me don't focus on them
Please focus on me

Only one life

So I gotta' make it count
But I know that I'm

So sick of
Your trip ups
I wear my heart on my sleeve
Never L.I.E so you know I'm witcha' ya'
So bitter
My vision never got clearer
This Little black boy had a whole different plan
This
Little black boy all he wanted was some friends
But
Little did I know that soon I had to be a man
And
Nobody would listen even if I raised my hand
So I had to cuss some people so they see just where I stand yet
I
See its still hard to get call but its fine
I always showed up and showed out
And hopped in and hopped out
And pulled up to give a ride
But seems to me there's only 2 ride or dies
Who would've done that in my life
No I'm not vexed these are all from past times
Things I never said cause y'all aint' let me speak my mind
Truly crippled me within the end
Because I couldn't make decisions when it counted on the clock
I'm out of time
I
Just wanted to be perfect in your eyes
Tried to be the man you always wanted in your life
Tried to be the son you'd never think to go deny
Tried to be the friend who had your back in hard times
Then God flipped the switch
And found myself denying things
That made me die from inside
That didn't even make me thrive
No longer care how you feel
Cause G.O.D showed me light

Well I'm thinking that the best advice I've ever given
I hope
Is that which I gave to my son
He said I don't have any friends, how can I get some friends?
I told him two things
I told him
In order to get a friend you have to be a friend
Be ready to be a friend
And also I told him
There's a place in you
That you must keep
You must keep it pristine, clean
So that nobody has a right to curse you or treat you badly
Nobody
No mother, father, wife, husband
Nobody
Because that may be the place you go to when you meet God
You have to have a place where
That you say
Stop it, back up
And when the person comes with invasive language to you
You have to be able to say
Back up... not me you don't
Don't you know I'm a child of God?
