[Intro]

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

You know we back up in the booth

Got another harsh truth to lay down

If it's true, it's gon' hurt some feelings

We straight though, we ain't never change for nothing

You know that Christ is incompatible with culture now, stop playin' with Him


[Verse 1]

Yeah

I tried to look into the future and all I saw was death

I ain’t tryna be morbid, and I ain’t one to cause stress

But you gotta understand that when your body laid to rest

That’s when you wake up in the spirit and hear if you passed the test

Cuz everyone got a story, every story got a page

Every book got an author, this novel ain’t never age

I’d be amazed, if there was another way you could escape

The day you lying in the dirt, I know this life and what it’s worth

It’s like an iron and a shirt the way I’m ’bout to set it straight

21 whole summers, I ain’t gon’ regenerate

Running ‘til the Lord cometh and He finishes my race

‘Til I hear that, “Well done, good and faithful servant,”

Been in servitude, I chose it as a product of my gratitude

“Go and make disciples,” Jesus said, we got some work to do

Ain’t got time to stress cuz He is in what I am working through

That’s why every instrumental proof I’ll give this work to you


[Verse 2]

All is vanity, everything is vanity

I can’t be what I planned to be, I must be what was planned of me

Ain’t gotta chase the paper dawg, I’m taking what He handed me and planting seeds

He multiply that mug like we was watching math videos on Khan Academy

Or maybe IMG Academy, He known for making track stars outta demons who been celebrating cuz they thought they had their hand on me

I say His name once and all these suckas start vanishing

Like where you at?

Tumbling like we was at the laundromat

This sin cycle never ends, but Jesus settled all of that

I been rifling through the trends, I’m tryna take the harder path

I been tryna make amends, these lyrics are a heart attack

Jeremiah chapter seventeen and verse nine, the heart is all deceit so I don’t mind when it hurt mine

Been tryna die to self, I took my flesh and threw aside

Do not call the police, I am not talking suicide

Knots on my shoes cuz I am not gonna move aside

Rock's in the booth, I stand on Christ who was crucified

And rose again, that’s why you hear these songs and know they Heaven-sent

Leon Kennedy, I used to be an evil resident

I seen who the heavens sent and He made it evident

A dream reminiscent of the things in the spirit

Boy I feel like Dr. King, Martin Luther when I spit it

All I do is reformation, but they protesting with it, nah


[Verse 3]

Still, I gotta keep it real

I ain’t falling for the world’s thrills, that’ll get ya killed

I ain’t gotta tote a Glock, I’m still scary with the skill

Think I gotta see a doctor, my pen is very ill, what

Please pray for me, but do not ever play with me

The GOAT ain’t no debate to me, the throne ain’t got a vacancy

The Lord is on the pedestal, I ‘member what He say to me

“They hate you cuz they hated me, the people had forsaken me,”

He walked with a dozen like He ran through the bakery

Then all of a sudden, one of them went and paid to see the Son handed over to be judged by the Pharisees

At once he was overcome with lust for the riches

And the trust he had severed really burnt eternal bridges

So I pray that the same ain’t gonna claim another victim

There ain’t no escaping when the sin is in the system

And you born into the system, you was made to be with Him

‘Til the snake came and spoke a lie to you with a whisper

And to me, a perversion of the truth to assist him

I can see there is a need, there is proof in the sinner

I need something better than the fruit that he giving, Lord

I am nothing but a broke man with stained hands

Searching through the storm, I’m a victim of the rain dance

Peter walked on water when you called, I am a hangman

Sinking in this grave, only You are my escape plan


[Outro]

Yeah

More money, more power, more fame, but that still ain’t no escape plan

Every car filling up the driveway but that still ain’t no escape plan

Every pretty woman from around the way but that still ain’t no escape plan

Nah, that ain’t no escape plan

Put your trust in the slain Lamb
