Lazarus (Walk on Water IV)

Lyrics

Chorus I resurrected after what just felt like a life bid Walked out the grave similar to how Christ did Broad daylight, my people dying from nightsticks It made me turn on a light switch And get up in my zone Start speaking bold This is not apathy or blasphemy it's actually coming from my soul I just set my goals I need financial freedom, while I move like Jesus I will walk on water Verse 1 I'm in a space where all hate and shade gets rejected All criticism deflected The way I'm feeling today, I'm angelic, blessed and protected When devils enter my section, attempting to use their method To conjure curses, I'm perfectly shielded and unaffected I am Sent from above, sent to show love See the world has been over flooded, Noah sent out the dove And he came back like it's all good I am the plug, for salvation, I can say that when I'm donating blood I'm like a sacrificial lamb, son of Abraham, saving man Healing the afflicted, I lay my hand Hurdles in life, the size of Goliath, had me following David's plan I aimed between the eyes and every hater, I made a fan I feel like I should get a Grammy, Emmy or Espy I spit screenplays and skate on frozen water, I'm Gretzky And when it's liquid, I'm still vivid, use my Jordan's like jet skis I speak with passion, you can see that He blessed me I'm giving you scriptures, they're so efficient, transcending the genre They calling it hostile gospel, rapper, pastor and monster God is always on time, I adapted the mantra So if you ever have demons that you battled and conquered Then say Amen, Hallelujah All praises due To whoever you recognize as the one that created you You a Baptist, Catholic, witness Jehovah, maybe a Jew Or you're Islamic, seventh day or an atheist making moves saying "I ain't do this all on my own," well that's what I say I embody Christ so I'm only grateful when I pray I don't ask for chips like a kid making Santa's list I'm just thankful for dodging sickness, through my days As long as my fam is full of love, joy, peace and I got my health I'm Bill Gates filthy, testament to my mama's help Whether rapping or acting, I'll still gain Glory, "Just Right," But you can't call it Common wealth, I walk on water Chorus 2 Depression felt like a life bid Walked out the grave similar to how Christ did Broad daylight, my people dying from nightsticks It made me turn on a light switch And get up in my zone Start speaking bold This is not apathy or blasphemy it's actually coming from my soul I just set my goals I need financial freedom, while I move like Jesus I will walk on water Verse 2 Y'all don't understand I'm the top seed, even me stopping it didn't stop me Your top speed, it could be Mach speed, couldn't mock me Watch me, spiritual opposite of a Nazi Moses split the sea and that's hot B But me, I would have stepped on top of it The way I lead missions, is giving supreme vision to people that need fixing If your days seem dark, I'm shining and scene-switching Watch you go from lean-sipping to clean living I make folks stand when they want to lean Plan when they only dream Glad when they join my team Mad men to lonely teens Listen to my sermons, most my verses, I'm just blowing steam But you can see each year I gain more esteem Y'all still on that Pop bottles in clubs, server comes with the sparklers It's all eyes on you Now you're the gold diggers target I'm busy plotting how to stretch my message higher and farther And be a better man, teacher, coach, rhymer, and father Look At my face these are real tears I know I gotta shield my son from danger, I feel fear I worry 'bout the drugs, guns, cops, diseases, malicious "thots," and all the different types of music that he'll hear Especially mine I still spit like a heathen destined to be the next Deacon blessed by a deaconess in a freak 'em dress A walking contradiction's what I mean when you see my flesh I'm just a human being but I follow in Jesus steps The Bible says he washed away the sins of mankind But homie was crucified like he committed bad crimes Guess the ones you try to save, are the same ones to send you to your grave If you're mad at that last line You're probably pissed at my whole existence The way my thoughts can torture My brain is a cause for slaughter, they say I'm an awful author This may be my tallest order, creating these songs to alter the sons and unconscious daughters, with faith of a fallen martyr I'm crazy I walk on water Chorus 1 Outro I knew I was near the bottom when I started envisioning my own funeral I knew I was close to my breaking point when I would get envious of artists that passed away. I wanted more views, I wanted to be celebrated, I actually said to myself I would never become a trending topic while I'm alive...So how do you snap your fingers and implement all the motivational speeches you've heard about not living in the past, stop being the victim, visualize success? It all sounds so farfetched and so hard. Chances are you lost a loved one, or had some relationship heartache, illness, financial hardship, and there are times that getting past any of that seems impossible. Like walking on water I'm not here telling you to do something I didn't do I'm not saying I won't face more adversity, more tragedy, more pain, but every time the soul experiences discomfort it's growing. It's how I perceive struggle that makes it ...struggle I made a choice and now I choose to share my journey, not because I'm stuck on my journey but because I realized that when you start anticipating sleep, and desiring unconsciousness, and you can't wait to go to bed, just so you can dream about the life you're afraid to have...it's time to wake up
