Kingdom

When I walk into the gates of the kingdom
I am instantly hit by the overwhelming sense of freedom
Day to day everyone deserves and works for their pay
Dedication and motivation is what the ruler will say
If you do that, then you will get your way
In times like this we have to be brave
If you disobey he will have lots to say
So, don't let that determination decay

Got these sleepless late nights and I get sentimental
I'm layin' in bed with these cracks in my mental
My head is a fortress come into the temple
I'm tryin' to find who I am to resemble
I'm lookin' to God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost
Life is a mess but I can't get it diagnosed
Choke on my words as I trap them inside my throat
Happiness fading I feel myself losin' hope
But that's nothin', table those feelings
Fake a smile and tell the world
"I don't mean it"
Tell my people I'm all good, I'm all fine
Don't need the attention they think I'm purposely seeking I be
Keepin' busy but I be doin' a bunch
Saying "have a great day" after I'm pukin' my lunch
Got my uncle in the bathroom shootin' up during brunch
And he was gettin' by fine until the dose was too much but
I'm on the same track
'Cause when these bass drops hit, I'm thinkin' Biggie Bags
Clouded by illusion that happiness is a myth
And just a thing that I will never have
So when the dough comes quick, I try to double stack
Gettin' out of bed in the morning damn for what
Trynna find a shirt to cover up the knots in my gut
Close the blinds and make sure that the door's tightly shut
As I wait for the world to take a tighter grip on my nuts but
I take the pressure and throw it down to the dirt
With aggression that I've built over years from all the hurt
I've been stuck inside my head thinkin' of why I'm really here
Oh shit, here we go, now I'm questioning my worth
But I'm trynna make a place where we all are in unity
Filled with compassion and love a community
Prayin' to God this is my opportunity
Go spread the word this is not just for you and me

I've been lookin' out for a safe place to go
For strangers and people I know
I've been lookin' for someone to talk to, to vent to
When I'm feeling doubts feelin' low
See I have been tryin' to set myself free
And it got me beggin' dear Lord on my knees
I'm just trynna speak from the heart so you know that it's working
I'm singing to show you I bleed

Everybody's foundation gotta couple cracks in the stone
I just hope you know that you don't gotta do this alone
I know everyone's searching for that one special place
Where their problems are lifted the one they call home
So I'm building my kingdom strong to survive every storm
As we're tearing down barriers and breaking off of the norm'
Today I feel different happy to reach for the door
But before I leave I like to give my thanks to the Lord 'cause he
He keeps me motivated, lifts my head dedicated
In these times of doubt and sorrow
Calms my mind, meditated
Picture this serenity you gotta go and illustrate it
Celebrate together and I tell my mom
I up and made it
They used to say there was no hope for this hooligan
It used to be me clinging to the rope around my stupid chin
Next I would be bringin' all the dope in my new syringe
Promise to myself that I will never act a fool again
But get hype
Let's get it right from the start
Everybody contributing, and playing their part
People coming together, and repairing their hearts
Go and tear down your walls please I know that it's hard
But this kingdom will stand until we choose to end it
Grab onto my arm I will have it extended
I see that your broken we'll help to amend it
'Cause this is my kingdom I vow to defend it

I've been lookin' out for a safe place to go
For strangers and people I know
I've been lookin' for someone to talk to, to vent to
When I'm feeling doubts feelin' low
See I have been tryin' to set myself free
And you got me beggin' dear Lord on my knees
I'm just trynna speak from the heart so you know that it's working
I'm singing to show you I bleed

In life we have to put up a fight
Sometimes it will take all our might
But in the end we will always defend
Therefore our kingdom will never end
