|
I was taught that living the good life meant getting everything |
|
I could But |
|
I've been shown a brand new picture of the good life, and it's glorious |
|
Aye I was raised in that lone star state where we go hard |
|
Can't do it small at all, 'cause big things our state |
|
My dreams as a buck was to make a large bank |
|
Daddy told me be the best, no one can tell me |
|
I can't Be the best baller, or be the best rapper |
|
Got a little older, and went after the latter |
|
Grind until |
|
I shine, trying to climb that ladder |
|
Grab a couple girls, 'cause your boy looked dapper |
|
But at a young age, saw that |
|
I had it wrong |
|
Full of drive, but moving in reverse all along |
|
Dreams full of pride, heart full of stone |
|
You know I had to redefine what |
|
I grind on |
|
Siccess is dangerous if you don't do it right |
|
He gave us everything for pointing to him right |
|
So toast to the king who gaveme some new dreams |
|
Everything for his name, that's how |
|
I do things |
|
Never knew how lost |
|
I was 'till |
|
I found out |
|
That I couldn't hear his voice, it was drowned out |
|
I was chasing things, selfish dreams |
|
Now I see what he has for me |
|
It's the good life (Wake up!) |
|
I grew up with those doctrines and those angels |
|
When wings get mangled and they rock a broken halo |
|
Success is an idol from |
|
Hollywood to |
|
Diego No hablo if you don't speak with the pesos |
|
And their favorite dollar sign is too much |
|
More greed, more lust, more taste, more touch |
|
I had an appetite that ate from the devil's power |
|
With every bite 'cause he would rise |
|
I'm kissing my life goodbye |
|
If I find |
|
I have a need this world cannot meet |
|
Then I know this life is a place where my hope should not be |
|
I've been chasing those things that are real fake |
|
This is not a real place, this is a dream state |
|
Functional saviors ain't hip, their a real waste |
|
What's the palace going off of without a major king |
|
Pain, sorrow, and empty treasures |
|
Spite the creator and deem creation simply better |
|
The ward off is a lot of things, but it's really lying |
|
And to the |
|
Lord, the good life is really dying |
|
I'm the Lord's procession, so my heart's in the heavens' |
|
True religion in my jeans, now stop guessing |
|
Never knew how lost |
|
I was 'till |
|
I found out |
|
That I couldn't hear his voice, it was drowned out |
|
I was chasing things, selfish dreams |
|
Now I see what he has for me |
|
It's the good life |
|
Even the sun goes down, heroes die eventually |
|
Great careers end in the industry |
|
Empires implode; you may go down in history |
|
But everything will go down eventually |
|
Look, you can stack bread, but you can't stop death |
|
And there will be no comforter for you in that bed |
|
We all get laid out, the games get played out |
|
In a maze headed to the grave, and there's no way out |
|
You can't outlast life, it fades out fast |
|
Death is coming for us all, everything's gonna pass |
|
So look at it from that angle down |
|
My dreams gotta be bigger and greater than that |
|
I was with the persecuted martyrs in |
|
Asia Were living out their dreams, though they was walking in danger |
|
Their dreams were lifting up the heart of the savior |
|
And living in a way that shows that he's all that they wait for |
|
One's stacking up the cake, but one's walking in favor |
|
Living a good life, 'cause they walk with the maker |
|
My dreams are different; you know that |
|
I've been changed now |
|
The good life is the life that's been laid down. |
|
The good life |
