[Verse 1]

From the Ville to Tally, yeah we movin' to the capital

Don’t you know about me, I be rappin' in all capitals

Mission quite imperative, expand the congregation

Be a Good Samaritan, a holy operation

Spread the gospel in areas that be hostile

Take a bunch of young adults and turn 'em to apostles

Maximize the opportunity to oxidize a dead community

And breath into the lives of many who could be

Instrumental to the operation they invaluable

Bend the prejudice until the opposition mallеable

Save a soul and watch it grow until the fruits of labor show

Makе a weapon from a wretch and watch the blessings overflow

Glorious, I’m shooting like the Warriors and making certain that the name of God’ll be notorious

Sophisticated ministry, I make a poem bout how He delivered me

Lay it on a beat so that I know the people listening

Hear me out, hear me out, fellow congregation

The things that we display can be traced to Revelations

This is not a record to excuse me from the blame

But rather a confession that regardless of the chains when I remain a simple man I am a sinner, we’re the same

Day to day we kill our brothers, ignorant to all the pain

That it cost the masses, mass incarceration in this nation way beyond the basic charges that a criminal should face

I’m talking slavery, and not to man, the Devil pullin' strings

Try to hide the true potential of the things that we could be

Key to freedom, He

Rests upon the kingdom we believe

It never seemed to me

That He ever gave up on us I’m a product of the living water

I’ll be honest I’m atomically

Minuscule in terms of fancy cars and lots of property

Never came about the game of life like Monopoly

I was busy chasin’ prophecies, now I’m a prodigy


[Verse 2]

Destiny raised me, shoutout all the leaders

Pastor Steve, Michael, Vic, Don, and Mr. Steven

Believed in me since I was just a young’n tryna figure out my role inside the bigger picture

Pushin’ people ‘way until I finally had confirmation company was key

2021, I knew I found my brothers, although we

Been through thick and thin, all of us had fought with different sins but put aside our differences and ‘came family

This ain’t happen randomly

I knew this was a holy intervention

Went from chasin' hoes to wanting all the angels in my section

Gimme more of those, I need all the help that I can get

Yeah I'm grateful for the guardians my Holy father sent

Guardians, no galaxy

This is not a fallacy

I am certain that the king of Heaven chose to plant a seed

Inside the ‘Ville and watch it grow, shoutout to Galatians

A man reaps what he sows, and I ain’t talkin’ blankets


[Verse 3]

Blanketed in love, I am surrounded by His grace

Graciously amazing, He done started a new page

In the story of my life, just beginning

The pages flipping quick and Chapter 18 has just become my favorite

Used to put that rap on all my playlists

Now I’m making rap my little brothers know my lyrics, it’s amazing

Hope I was a good enough example cuz they lookin’ up to me

I find peace knowing what they strive to be

Better than their older brother, that’s what I am hoping for

More aware of God’s voice when He decides to open doors

More aware of poor choices and resulting consequence

More quick to start the mission ‘stead of sitting on the fence

Less defense, and start to play more offense

Staying solid even though the opposition constant

Constantly seeking to evangelize the youth

Although amongst lies not afraid to speak the truth

And change the whole world and change minds

One verse at a time

Even better than their brother do

I am me and you are you

I just hope I left a decent blueprint for you to follow

Make your own path cuz we ain’t guaranteed tomorrow

To Peyton, you got crazy potential, I know it’s true

Stay faithful even though the girls around you want to choose

To stay trapped in that cool life, feed the cool hype

Even though it never did anything for me, you knew

Better than to fall prey

Everyday and all day

I pray for wisdom in keeping the values that mom paved

Always trust in God, never let yourself fall to stress

Dad said to tithe first, and then God’ll do the rest

I look back with a smile

Won't be home for a while

But I couldn’t ask for a better childhood

So I wrote this letter to you all to inspire good

Memories and thank for the things that you’ve done for me, which is everything
