Trade the World

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah Yeah I made a song for the guys and the girls in the tribe Take a second, close your eyes And we gon' let it ride Yeah, yeah We gon' let it ride Take a second, close your eyes And we gon' let it ride [Josiah Williams - Verse One] I wrestle everyday outside the ring Life is a constant battle, I look toward the finer things I'd rather worry about why labels ain't signing me Than tap into Your love, that is alive and inside of me Been watching all the talent on these blogs, and brushing everything off 'Cause they get all the applause, and I don't get any calls Line-walking in places where I know I don't belong Say I'm living for the righteous, but focused on the wrong I was given a goal to press toward If I keep my head forward Then I should be led more in the Direction of angels, instead of demons Waiting for me to weaken So they can find a way to disassemble our agreement Blessings on my shoulders, hatred around me Baptized in Your water, they still looking to drown me Covered in sin, thinking I'm living a life of luxury I used to seek stars, now I'm seeking out your company [Isaiah Jenkins - Chorus] I never knew That I could gain the world and lose you And if it's true Then I would trade the world to have you Don't wanna go without you [Verse Two] I say I'm independent, until I have a need Pray to my Holy Father, Head of the Family God, I need clearer vision Not talkin' 20/20 Gotta fight for the prize, and keep my eyes off that prized money Checking on my bank account and stressed about what ain't present Though my job is a blessing, my attitude is unpleasant Begging I receive more The problem word is 'receive' 'Cause I don't give as much attention to what I believe, man I've gotta Die to Self to be alive Cause I am just a guy, til the guy rearrives Mama said "Read the Word," can't really say that I try 'Til I find myself in shambles, and to the Lord I will cry I'm a sometimes man, for an always God And the direction that I work in isn't always God's I find myself in a rush, I wonder who do I trust Now the answer to the question? Is always, God [Isaiah Jenkins - Chorus] [Verse Three] I feel my highest moments, after I hit a low Tried living on my own, it's like driving in overload I tasted Living Water, I let it overflow I look up to the Son, now I know how to grow Rap lyrics have become, letters I should have written Prayers I should have prayed I said I would, but I didn't I see the bigger picture, over-exaggerated You know my true colors, heavily saturated Walking down this path, a yellow-brick you designed When you saw it, you made it with all of us in Your mind I ain't perfect, but I know I'm getting better with time Golden ladder I seek, golden ladder I climb I'm just, one of your many soldiers standing on the field, yeah And I've got the confidence of Roman in The Shield, yeah Where I'm tryna go is better than any luxury I used to seek stars, now I'm seeking out your company [Isaiah Jenkins - Chorus]
