Way past all of my past moves

All of these deep scars, all of these tattoos

All of those late nights, wake up at high noon

I never touch down, I only fly though

I'm understanding my life needed some fine tune

Every wrong I rewrite to have my time soon

Focused attention on my survival

That's what happens when idol become your rivals

My every move has now been magnified

There's nothing much to do but keep me pacified

While they discussing my private life in the public eye

Thеy say they speak the truth whеn they just publish lies

Never took a bribe, would rather die on my sword

Than have y'all thinking that I took a dive

This my slaughter house with all these crooked eyes

Now you're seeing I survived and you look surprised

Penthouses with no plus ones

Living life like i'm living off a trust fund

It's kinda right when God fixes what's been undone

So spot lights on the hero that's been unsung

Overcrowded sections when i'm overseas

Overwhelmed with blessings when they notice me

While there's some people in my city that ain't known to me

Who wanna be judge and jury and hand me whats been owed to me

I'm never on my 'woe is me'

But i'm overly scared of what I don't achieve

Seeing all my dreams from the mezzanine

While trying to catch a break in the space between

Went from tours with Lecrae to no stage

From having everybody on your side to no praise

From trying to do it right to going back to old ways

From hoping for the best to then seeing no change

If i'm not the heir to it then where's the Rogaine

Cause this teen spirit got me feeling like Cobain

And i'm too young to be thinking old age

And too close to be pushing away

Feeling like Lebron at the free throw

Game on the line and I haven't gone in beast mode

Trying to activate the cheat code

I'm years in and still haven't reached my peak tho

My heart beat slow, but I still move

28th floor with the ill view

While taking zoom calls from the Kill Crew

Planning what I want and what I will do

See you can walk the path but can you fill shoes

And these Nikes been checked still I ain't stressed

Used to ask for advances on my pay check

Now we toasting to the millis we ain't made yet

All these fears I couldn't count 'em

So it's taken all these years to do this album

Still living water flowing like a fountain

Now that my mustard seed has gone and moved a mountain

My purpose has be stalking me

While my failures have be taunting me

Still holding on in faith that ain't often seen

In the space between now and where He's calling me
