Seeing Is - Intellectual

[Chorus: Ruslan]

Uh, they say that seeing is believing

Seeing is believing

Can’t believe it when they see me now

Seeing is believing

Can’t believe it when they see me now

[Verse 1: Ruslan]

Uh, new day

I’m done with the excuses

I’m done with the mistakes

Done with the abuses

Look back and realize how far I came

I ain’t even the same person today

And even though I am a broken vessel out of sync

I still won’t sink

Maybe I’m doing better than I think

Scratch that

I got a one way ticket to a calling destination

I state over my light

Over what makes me act impressive

‘Cause I ain’t moving at the rate I like

But I can’t pay for patience, that comes in at a price

My ego was deflated like a hot air balloon

It came crashing down and no one to [?]

I’m on soon, I’m on last, I’m successing on cash

I can get all of that and still be depressed

Why should I fall back? Lord, help me fail forward

Steps been ordered, landing on a tall [?], like

[Chorus: Ruslan]

Seeing is believing

Can’t believe it when they see me now

Seeing is believing

Can’t believe it when they see me now

All God getting even in my skin

Am I leaving? It don’t matter

Can’t believe it when they see me now

Seeing is believing

Can’t believe it when they see me now

[Verse 2: Ruslan]

I learned the business ‘cause nobody else wanted to

Signers to show us how to get in front of you

Initially, I wasn’t independent by choice

I had no other options

Had to get my voice heard

And I heard a lot of “No”s

Before I ever got a “Yes”

And I was questioning my soul

Is this what I’m supposed to do?

Is this how I’m supposed to move?

And to be honest with those questions

Had to wrestle with a few, like

What’s worse?

Not reaching your dreams?

Or reaching them and finding out

They’re not [?]

I’ve seen a few things

I’ve been a few places

I’ve shook a lot of hands

And humbled a few faces I grew up looking up to

Posters on my wall standing right in front of me

I’m trying not to be an [?]

All my favorite artists [?] just like me

I’ll be somebody’s favorite one day

But I already might be

[Chorus: Ruslan]

Seeing is believing

Can’t believe it when they see me now

Seeing is believing

Can’t believe it when they see me now

All God getting even in my skin

Am I leaving? It don’t matter

Can’t believe it when they see me now

Seeing is believing

Can’t believe it when they see me now

[Verse 3: Ruslan]

This is dedicated to the ones who slept

Nap time through rap time

And the ones who kept saying

“We fell off ‘cause we went and [?] mo’”

The youth group rappers, sorry, there’s a different goal

And there’s people out there hurting

Need to be encouraged

I ain’t preaching to the choir

But they know I got a sermon

Started learning more about myself

Whenever I’m [?]

There’s a whole lot I don’t know

[?], I’m certain

I am certain that I’ve seen the hand of God move

Through the music, be a Buddhist, [?]

So watch this one foot in front of the next

Being [?] guy

Yes, I am walking my faith

But I know He’s by my side

Seeing is believing, eyeball

Getting even, Dream Junkie to the death

Even when I stop breathing and I die

I’m a flawed human being

Because Jesus, I am perfect in His eyes

[Chorus: Ruslan]

Seeing is believing

Can’t believe it when they see me now

Seeing is believing

Can’t believe it when they see me now

All God getting even in my skin

Am I leaving? It don’t matter

Can’t believe it when they see me now

Seeing is believing

Can’t believe it when they see me now

Seeing is believing

Dream Junkie to the- scratch that

Seeing is believing

[Outro: Kendrick Dial]

Eventually, love became the fuel that fired the engine for change in his life. Only now, it was no longer a love for himself, it was a love for others that came from an understanding of what he had been shown from the very beginning. He now fully understood that he could not save himself, and true salvation is only found through a life in Christ.
