Now when I first started rapping they said I sounded like Jay
Hey seven albums later now I'm sounding like me
Yeah it took a minute I admit it
Now I can hear myself think
And I will not stop making music I still got too much to say
And I got way too much to do and I got no time to delay
And I got way too much to prove carpe diem on the day
Shout out to Thi'sl and Bizzle peace to the homie Lecrae
Salute to Andy and Trip Lee simply you did it your way
Big ups to Shai Linne and Amber always hold us in check
Watching your doctrine close and we applaud you for that
Shout out to Flame you a soldier homie you holding us down
Standing for righteousness your flag is up
And pole in the ground crown
Shout to Allen Swoope he the voice of the people
Yeah we owning our space with us speaking up is the key note
Waving our flags at heroes [?] told us that He rose
It's my time to pay homage and tell the world y'all my heroes

You see them lights in the city (ooh)

The truth is marching on His glory hallelujah (hallelujah)
We celebrating the God that gave the power to ya (celebrate You)
Celebrating the guys and giving the honor to ya (celebrate you)
While you facing the odds and making the contribution
Making impact beyond recordings to young reformers
Age is a change based it ain't based upon performance
Young performers are honor of those before us
The waters you walk is deep but payday is around the corner
When they give you your roses while you can still smell them
You ain't ever gotta get jealous if you don't feel a Stellar
Or a Grammy nod put your hand up high (hands up high)
Man we applaud you just for being a family guy

Ladies and gentlemen I'd like to propose a toast
Tonight's the night where we celebrate our heroes
Those who have gone before us
And the ones who are still paving the way we salute you

Just having a conversation
Every faithful servant deserves a round of applause pause
I ain't gonna front it feel good to get stopped in the mall
Not just cuz it feeds our egos egos rise and they fall
But they love us despite the fact that we be dropping the ball
Man that feels so special shout to [?] and SO
M.O.D and Cross Movement gave us something to echo
They depositing truth and investing that in the [?] grow
Set this whole thing in motion and set it off in the West Coast
Gospel Gangstaz and I.D.O.L King Mike Peace was the preface
Y'all was grinding in sessions while we was eating our breakfast
Now we built this together some differences kept us separate
But all of that is behind us because at the end of our message
We all got the same goals rhyming like J. Cole
Making the sight of Jesus attractive in our plain clothes
All in the same boat rain coats on
But time passing like chain smoke running hard like Usain Bolt
You know how the saying goes
What goes around comes around
That's how they're stacking up riches even though the bank's closed
Far as my name goes I could really care less
Just count me amongst the faithful
With feet beautiful like painted toes
God over waters He's for us
We stand before Him on this payroll
I just wanted to pay honor to the faithful folks and I'm gone
