Foolish Ambition

What would I be without the King
Young Ken Griffey Jr. without the swing
Carolina Vince Carter without the spring
David in the field with the Giant wit no sling
You see I wouldn't be me
An my legacy wouldn't be
Or manifest into what
He always had up His sleeve
For me to be a servant
Through musical ministry
Go far beyond my eyes could ever see

I'm not quite like what you heard
I come off a bit slick
But please don't ever think
Cuz I'm saved I can't spit
Wit this gift I can't miss
The aim is a short list
God first and last
The middle is pure bliss
Caught up in ambition
The reason I always missed
Couldn't get the perception
Oblivious to the hints
Talent was never lacking
It just wasn't the fit
Jehovah's plan was better
Call it the Blueprint
Riding on a wave
That's taking me on a trip
To a place I couldn't imagine
Obedience was the trick
What I write now is hope
To give people a lift
Slinging that real dope
No white boy Rick
I feel like SEAL Team Six
This mission is paramount
Awaiting the Lord's instruction
I'm ready to carry out
My position is very different
So surely I will surmount
All the demons that plagued me
An kept me from getting out
From that prison where I was rotting
An certainly was forgotten
With no clue that I was saved
By His one and only begotten
Now it's no signs of stopping
Mannn we just getting it popping
It feels so good sorta like silk cotton
Join me on this journey
As I travel to my promise
It's much better
Rappin' my story and staying honest
Regardless of the labels they gimme
I'm still a novice
No I'm not fishing for compliments
Being modest
It's no use
Chasing the claim to be the hottest
I just wanna impact lives an be iconic
When all things are working together
It's not ironic
It's the Lord pushing through
With His will it's pure logic
Slick delivery with some cadence
You know I got it
Spread the Good word
Through this music I'm all about it
Unconventional way to preach
An God allows it
Faith is a MUST
It's no getting around it
Sticking to the code
Got me in this mode similar to butter
I'm really on a roll
Never saw this coming
I was about to implode
God had other plans
For me to finally explode
There I go over the moon
Like a meteor
So glad I ditched
The influence of social media
Just being myself is enough
An it's gotten easier
As I keep climbing
The view is just getting prettier
Sitting back amazed by the skyline
In His presence the limits will sky high
While you up there
Give Yahweh a high five
I gotta a new slogan
We having fun and saving lives
I don't need Stellar
I don't need a Dove
I don't need a Grammy
To feel that I'm loved
Man I got a nuff of dat circling above
I'm forever in debted
He's never taken off the gloves

What would I be without the King
Young Ken Griffey Jr. without the swing
Carolina Vince Carter without the spring
David in the field with the Giant wit no sling
You see I wouldn't be me
An my legacy wouldn't be
Or manifest into what
He always had up His sleeve
For me to be a servant
Through musical ministry
Go far beyond my eyes could ever see
