[Verse 1]

Told 'em I was coming but they laughed

Told 'em I was different from the rest

Told 'em I'd recover from the crash

They assured me though whatever I'm gon' do it ain't gon last

Nah, I started praying more but suddenly was swerving fast

Life was finally up, so then I started praying less

Smiles showing teeth, I forgot that's what He sent

I abandoned conversations but He stayed inside my chest

What a friend, what a savior

What a blessing

Knowing that the failures always turn into a lesson

Knowing that I'm able to be sharing my own messagе

With a crowd of broken people who arе scared to make confessions

Yeah, everybody sins, everyone has made mistakes

Everybody everywhere has stumbled trying to reach their gate

Life it doesn't care, you'll arrive and see the gate has changed

Walk from D to A, you finally make it but the flights delayed

Funny how that works, huh

I don't even understand it

Life's a rollercoaster that don't care about how we planned it

Life can pick you up and drop you off faster than you can manage

It'll throw you in a crowd but come the morning you'll be stranded

I don't know

How to combat all the noise

Especially with my inner voice who's jobs to annoy me

Every time I got a grip on my life

He always finds a way to turn out the lights

And make me reconsider everything

Like I don't overthink already

But he stimulates my thoughts and now my head is unsteady

I'm losing focus on the reason why I'm breathing this heavy

It's prolly cause I'm trying to read my own heading, which asks


[Hook]

What's your purpose in the world if you ain't got one

You ain't got no morals? Better cop some

Stop advising someone about their issues when the issue

Is you haven't even solved your own problems

Yeah, I've been in the jury that ain't my seat

Judging other people, need to judge me

Staring at the goals that live above me

While my thoughts tell me, you ain't ever gonna touch these


[Hook Continued]

Yeah, I've been out here trying to find my purpose

But sometimes feel like life I don't deserve it

Been a servant to temptation all my life, been slowly fading

Cause the happiness been drifting form the surface

Yeah, legend has it I don't ever learn that

What's been weighing on my head is all my burdens

I wish that I could say that I got Hope like Nate

But I ain't even close still gotta get rid of the serpents


[Break]

I was lost

Trapped in a fantasy

But I've returned

I'm revived


[Verse 2]

Been confused about my purpose for a while now

Too much chirping from the backseat, better quiet down

I'm just trying to make a difference, leave an imprint on somebody's life

Before I'm burned to ashes and put in the ground

Yeah that's the reason why I do this

Always bleeding out emotions every time I'm making music

Cause I know that y'all relate and need a fix to help the bruising

That's why I exist, God gave me this gift and I'm gon' use it, yeah

And maybe I don't really know where to go

But I'm behind the wheel and they say that all roads lead home

I climbed the ladder, all I found though was some items I owned

And a door partially opened but I left it alone

Cause it showed me maybe I wasn't equipped for this road

Confident at first but now I question all that I know

Have I traveled for the journey or the greed for the throne

God forgive me, I have sinned but I've grown

Got me thinking


[Hook]

What's your purpose in the world if you ain't got one

You ain't got no morals? Better cop some

Stop advising someone about their issues when the issue

Is you haven't even solved your own problems

Yeah, I've been in the jury that ain't my seat

Judging other people, need to judge me

Staring at the goals that live above me

While my thoughts tell me, you ain't ever gonna touch these


[Outro]

Y'all just

Walk with the crowd

Step in the room and you want it announced

Making a move, gotta share with the town

Like look at me, I'm just like everyone else

Where's the diversity at though

I don't see anyone trying to get off of the shelf

You think your purpose is falling in line

But if I was you I'd be praying for help

Cause you gotta, do what you love

Go find a passion and take it and run

They're gonna trying to pollute your soul

But no one can blind you except for the sun

Remember if someone be hating on you it's because you got

Something they'll never achieve

I don't mean money, I'm talking about having guts and the will to go

Follow your dreams, yeah
