"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11<br /> <br /> "And see, that’s how you end up headed to destruction/Pavin’ a road to nowhere/Pour your life out for nothin"- The Background by Lecrae


God girl, this world, it ain’t for me

But I need to play it up so that’s not what they see

Spinning lies and stories that I gotta believe

to escape this trash this mess that is me

Yo I live it up for Jesus but only in my heart

Now I know I told him once we would never be apart

But this world, bro, it contaminates so fast

And I think what I said, it was only in the past

Fake a smile, fake a frown

Got this world, got it down

Covergirl, play it cool

Rock the floor, what I do

But deep under the surface

I know I got more purpose

I know that I’m called by my King as a servant, and

Worthless

Is every mess I’ve ever made

Cause in Jesus name

I don’t gotta play that game

Yo, it’s freeing to believe

That He died, just for me

And all I gotta do is

receive, just receive

Receive it like at a sinner on her knees at church

know what I’m worth,

new birth,

new turf, and

Loved by the one who gave me the stars

Loved by the one who gave me His heart

Loved through and through

Hey, what can I do

It’s not a choice I know it’s grace

And it’s come to this place

Comin’ quick like a bullet and sweet like lace

I’m dazed

No more drama no more lies

Cause I know I can be different with Him livin’ inside

I’m changed, not the same

Let’s go, switch the game

No more obsession,

got it made, His ways

This psychopathic mess it’s gotta end

Just listen to the God who calls you His friend

No more idols, no more shame

No more quiet, no more tame

No more cages strong as steel

No more hiding what is real

Lead on

1, 2, 3 and gone

This is probably the only rap I will ever write. Poems are more my thing. But still, it was fun to write.
