Now Or Later

Lyrics

[Intro] The GP will see you now [?] [?] born [?], yeah I'm comin', yeah [Verse 1] Gimme a crown full of palm leaves, not born in the Palm Springs Child of the village, my daddy was part king I see the card he was dealt, but didn't play for himself If you're a man of the people, then it's more than your wealth, more than your health More than you, more and more Read a Psalm in the morning and I see how a good morning could feel A preacher, but not a nuisance A teacher, to some a student But never for amusement, or to fall in a spell I got a hunch, you probably lose it if you're caught in an L Say you get out what you put in when you pour in a well I couldn't talk much, had to kill the horcrux Had to tell my people, "Be prudent" with a cautionary tale All else fails, but the truth, I pray I bear me some fruit Told me die to myself, but never bury my roots Told me carry a cross, but never carry a noose How you marry the two? You gotta live for the truth You gotta, see past the pictures, given that a sacrilegious (Sacrilegious) Know God for yourself and all He has to give us (Has to give us) This is massive business, can't be passive with it, uh Talking active living, uh, is it fact or fiction? And if it's real, then everything gotta change, too Long beard, looking presidential in a beige suit I'm here feeling residential, I could stay, too God who made me, same one that creates you, facts Only want me to rap Try to silence my speech, but never want me to act How you want me to win, but never want me to bat? Is it because of skin, is it because I'm— Tsk, I don't know the reason All I know is everyone who says they love gods, not Jesus Is it odd? Not even I won't stop 'til everyone I know stops grieving Until they know about the way, what reason do I have to live? Am I, a rapper turned activist? Preacher turned pacifist? A leader whose the catalyst? Left or right, what you reading? Let me capture it They don't know the Kingdom of the world ain't where my wagon is They don't know the vision that I got far greater Talking every tribe and tongue giving praises to the Saviour Talking every man or woman, every child that He raised up God's will getting done, be it now or later, I'm gone (Gone, gone, gone)
