You see the Gospel that we proclaim is far from a game
but some of yall insist on childish ways so let’s play
the best five card hand wins with no Joker
and since He stripped me of my pride then I’m gon call it strip Poker
I see you
I raise you
I’m all in
no stallin
The price to play is your life today so is you callin?
and if so
forget dough
you need heart
you need art
you need flow
that’s just a couple things you need to grow
So get it from the masters
then learn it from your pastors
and hopefully your fathers
then finally the author
and finisher of all from major to miniature
the writer of the book of life
it’s more than ancient literature
So take it and make it
your compass
your navigation on this road to open mics
and records sold
and if every time you spit
you ain’t reachin the peoples soul
then maybe it’s cause you’re dreaming bout riches silver and gold
Hook
I get up
I get down
I got love
For this sound
Won’t allow
Them to destroy this music easily
I wake up
and it seems
that I’m still in a dream
I can’t find a place of rest for the emcee in me
I get up
I get down
I got love
For this sound
Won’t allow
Them to destroy this music easily
So if you’re feelin me
then throw your hands up and stop grillin me
wake up to your ability
and Live Your Dream
Verse 2
Yo it it wrong for me to think that ya’ll should master your craft
wrong for me to want yall to come with it in the lab
wrong for me to admire only those who control their breathing
wrong to require that we be ready in and out of season
ha
that’s what it takes to make it
that’s what it takes for greatness
I pray yall don’t forsake this
or God forbid mistake this
as arrogant it’s apparent that I inherently parent
the talent that I see before me
let’s give Him the glory!

Beauty and the Beast at the very beginning of the track, then a Christ-integrated message to top it all off. Nostalgic and Beautiful. To add more to the pie, the song and what it relates to is perfectly fitting for the theme of beauty in the midst of beastliness. It's just dope.
Thank God for this song. Donovan Lewis
