| Started with hangin’ posters on my bedroom walls | |
| To battle rappin’ for status up in the school halls | |
| Just call me double sushi, thought I was too raw | |
| And hip-hop was my home, I had my shoes off | |
| 6’3 in high school, well skip a hoop dream | |
| If I don’t blow up then maybe I’ll try this school thing | |
| I went to college to do my family a favor | |
| But I couldn’t pick a major ‘cause I wanted to be MAJOR | |
| I tried sellin’ work, but it didn’t work | |
| So I worked, shopping center clerk, finna go berserk | |
| Lunch break, see me writin’ 16’s over Mickey D’s | |
| Skippin’ class, makin’ beats, over 60 keys | |
| And I love that even though I’m just chasin’ | |
| Selfish ambition couldn’t tell your boy naythin’ | |
| Watch out all you rappers cuz they finna let ‘Crae in | |
| But I was sleepin’ on the Son, like a Days Inn | |
| [Hook] | |
| And you can have the money, and you can have the fame | |
| For me I want the glory, I’m livin’ for the Name | |
| See life is just a picture, I see outside the frame | |
| I’m livin’ for a Kingdom that I ain’t never seen | |
| And I’ma chase that, I’ma I’ma chase that | |
| Found the key to life and best believe that I’ma play that | |
| Glory I’ma chase that, I’ma I’ma chase that | |
| Glory I’ma chase that, I’ma I’ma chase that | |
| [Verse 2] | |
| I remember chasin’ the green, feelin’ blue | |
| Only check I’m countin’ is the mic check, 1-2 | |
| All I wanted was the money and the fame and a new | |
| Somebody on my arm when I walk inside the room | |
| All I wanted was doom | |
| The same kind Alexander the Great felt when the earth ran out of room | |
| He conquered all he could but yet he’s feelin’ consumed | |
| By this never-ending quest for glory he couldn’t fuel | |
| Like a typical fool I would go hard | |
| Shootin’ for the moon but there’s only one sun [Son], no co-star | |
| Chasin’ glory I shouldn’t own | |
| Instead of living to make his name known I’m runnin’ after his throne | |
| I thought bein’ on TV where everybody could see me | |
| Was nothing short of the easiest way I could see to please me | |
| I’ll never be who I used to desperately wanted to be | |
| I’m too worried ‘bout the Lord gettin’ credit instead of me | |
| [Hook] | |
| And you can have the money, and you can have the fame | |
| For me I want the glory, I’m livin’ for the Name | |
| See life is just a picture, I see outside the frame | |
| I’m livin’ for a Kingdom that I ain’t never seen | |
| And I’ma chase that, glory I’ma chase that | |
| Found the key to life and best believe that I’ma play that | |
| Glory I’ma chase that, I’ma I’ma chase that | |
| Glory I’ma chase that, I’ma I’ma chase that | |
| [Verse 3] | |
| I used to wanna do it big | |
| When you’re only focused on yourself that’s small | |
| And they, they used to tell me as a kid | |
| That I could do anything that I want, except fall | |
| And now that I recall, I was chasin’ my goals | |
| And every time I caught ‘em they multiplied into mo’ | |
| I never even thought about whether the Lord approved | |
| Call it selfish ambition, I call it, “I’m makin’ moves” | |
| But history repeats itself, evil’s what it is | |
| ‘Cause Lucifer was cast away for doing what I did | |
| Created by the God who spoke the earth into existence | |
| Instead of chasing the Father’s glory, he was chasin’ his | |
| He lies to us all, told Adam he could ball | |
| “Why you followin’ God when you could go get it all?” | |
| I’ll tell you what’s better, or better yet worse | |
| Chasin’ your own glory by doin’ the Lord’s work | |
| So holla if it hurts, but we were made for greater | |
| Our greatest satisfaction is making His name famous | |
| So if we’re never named among the greatest, they don’t critically acclaim us | |
| Ain’t nothin’ to be ashamed of, we gave it up for the Savior | |
| [Hook] | |
| I’ma chase that, I’ma I’ma chase that | |
| And the Lord’s goodness, you should you should taste that | |
| And you ain’t livin’ till you livin’ for his name, yeah | |
| Glory I’ma chase that, I’ma I’ma chase that |
