Purpose
They ain't ready for God to come back
I lost my purpose, but bounced back
Built the church up and just like that
They tore it down and left it wrecked
Waiting for the sign, so I connect
Stayed in the dark had a major effect
Indulging in sin, but no one suspect
Thought I was perfect, you're incorrect
Life of sin is really death row
But what do you do when there's nowhere to go?
I was heaven-sent, not to be malevolent
Did what I did even though it wasn't right
Why? Yeah, I always ask why
Lies in my head telling me that I'm dead
Left my thoughts to rest, glorified God and I earned my respect
I don't need the pretense
I don't ever miss, but I'm a lunatic
A sinner I'll admit, yeah, a hypocrite
Benefit from it, I really wanna quit
Turned to God and he flipped my script
Took my sin, and made a testimony
Took the win, and now I spot the phonies
Feeling like forever when I demand change
But this the kinda story that I will not exchange
I used to be lost, and now that I'm found
My past is behind me, not bringing me down
I used to be lost, and now that I'm found
My past is behind me, not bringing me down
Fulfilling my purpose, I'm living it out
Fulfilling my purpose, I'm losing the crowd
I'm living for God, I live for his name
Glory to him, the name is will reign
Fulfilling my purpose, I'm living it out
Fulfilling my purpose, I'm losing the crowd
I'm living for God, I live for his name
Glory to him, the name is will reign
I rap out of passion, I rap from the heart
I rap for the people that wanna restart
I rap for the art, I rap from my soul
I rap for the Lord and he's in control
Forgive me for what I used to do
You're taking the burden and making it new
Forgive me for who I used to use
This is the waking for fallible dudes
This an opposition to a social narrative
Spreading positivity I know they forbid
It's poison to the kids, infested negative
I know they won't care about what they did to the youth
What to do? Do I stand? Do I move
Do I leave it all to God? Do I interfere with you?
I don't know, I don't know, I'll pray about it though, I gotta let it go
'Cause I gotta undergo
Changing up my ways 'cause the sky is looking gray
You better have faith, or he's gonna go away
But he's coming back, this the second time
You better repent, or you're gonna pay the fine
Look, man, I know I'm outta line
Forgive despite me working on my climb
This is your sign to give him all your life
This is your sign to give him all your life
I used to be lost, and now that I'm found
My past is behind me, not bringing me down
I used to be lost, and now that I'm found
My past is behind me, not bringing me down
Fulfilling my purpose, I'm living it out
Fulfilling my purpose, I'm losing the crowd
I'm living for God, I live for his name
Glory to him, the name is will reign
Fulfilling my purpose, I'm living it out
Fulfilling my purpose, I'm losing the crowd
I'm living for God, I live for his name
Glory to him, the name is will reign
I lost my purpose, but bounced back
