What fortune lies beyond the stars
Those dazzling heights too vast to climb
I got so high to fall so far
But I found heaven as love swept low
My heart beating, my soul breathing
I found my life when I laid it down
Upward falling, spirit soaring
I touch the sky when my knees hit the ground
What treasure waits within Your scars
This gift of freedom gold can't buy
I bought the world and sold my heart
You traded heaven to have me again
My heart beating, my soul breathing
I found my life when I laid it down
Upward falling, spirit soaring
I touch the sky when my knees hit the ground
Find me here at Your feet again
Everything I am, reaching out, I surrender
Come sweep me up in Your love again
And my soul will dance
On the wings of forever
Find me here at Your feet again
Everything I am, reaching out, I surrender
Come sweep me up in Your love again
And my soul will dance
On the wings of forever
My heart beating, my soul breathing
I found my life when I laid it down
Upward falling, spirit soaring
I touch the sky when my knees hit the ground
My heart beating, my soul breathing
I found my life when I laid it down
Upward falling, spirit soaring
I touch the sky when my knees hit the ground
Find me here at Your feet again
Everything I am, reaching out I surrender
Come sweep me up in Your love again
And my soul will dance
On the wings of forever
Upward falling, spirit soaring
I touch the sky
When my knees hit the ground
Instead of ice, it'd be #nice, if we would #invest in #life
Without #Christ he #walking through a #suicide do'
[Chorus:]
Forget about the cash, Forget about the clothes
Forget about the stash, Forget about the dough
Forget about the cars, Forget about the rims
Forget about dem stars, Forget about the benz
Forget about the big crib, tryna get rich,
The big six-fo, plenty dough and tryna sip chrys
Forget the cash and chains, that stuff will pass away
And you can't take it with you to yer after days
[Trip Lee:]
Most' concerned with the cheddar flow, but dawg I gotta let em know
A lot of reasons we should be seeking Jesus instead of dough
Instead of mo material things, the jewelry n fame
I speak of the Kang, but most ain't feeling me main
They would rather let they money stack, tryna get a hundred stack
They pockets fat, but they not ready when Christ is coming back
If they only knew the real truth about the comin wrath
They would probably race to Him faster than a runnin' back
I know the things the cheddar buys, will attract and catch the eyes
Instead of ice, it'd be nice, if we would invest in life
Instead of all that flashy stuff, tryna get our status up
His wrath is just, so if we don't seek Him dawg then we outa luck
What good is it to gain the world and in'da end lose ya soul?
It's foolish bro, there's a lovin savior you can truly know
I know you seeking satisfaction, you can't find it though
Tryna dash for the cash and designer clothes
[Chorus]
[Lecrae:]
Got money, got whips, got ice
Still broke homeboy! No Christ
Got a debt to pay, some real heavy wages
And the payment for sin is pretty outrageous
I seen him park the car, suicide do's
Without Christ he walking through a suicide do'
The dollar bill say in God we trust
It's funny cause money is the only God we trust
And she say that she a Christian, but I can't tell
She ain't depending on God, she depend on man
1 stack, 2 stack, 3 stack, fo
They spent they whole life stacking up dough
And when they die not a dimes gone go
Now they physically rich, but they spiritually po'
And they probably never heard of 1 Corinthians chapter fo'
'Cause they said they can't imagine God's people being po' (whoa)
[Chorus]
[Trip Lee:]
You might want you some change, yeah you might want a crib
But tell me where the Bible say that Jesus want us rich?
It says we should be content if we got food and clothin
That's the truth and bro, we tripping really being foolish homie
We shouldn't put no value on fallin screens and stylish chrome
Even if you saved that stuff can't go with you when you back at home
So allow me to encourage you, if you agree the Word is true
You can only serve one Master, some of us is serving two
'Can't serve God and cash, can't love the world and Christ
Put money out ya mind, focus on eternal life
'Can't speak from experience, I ain't seen it but I'm betting
Treasures of this world ain't nothing next to the ones that's up in Heaven
Feel free to store em up, since we found the Lord is just
Amazing let us praise Him main and try to give Him more of us
Let us live our life with Him, spend our days and nights with Him
Ignore the trash the world has to offer and delight in Him
I'm just #saying #you can't take us out the #game, cause #homie we #good"
[Verse 1:]
I hear the trouble's coming for me, death is at my door way
Fear says I'm a perish bro, but that ain't what my Lord say
He said I ain't guilty though I still ain't had my court date
I've tasted and I've seen Him, even though it's just a foretaste
I don't know what they feeling, I don't know they thinking
Bro my soul's invincible like Mario when he blinking
They see me full of joy, like "I don't what He drinking"
Cup is full of living water bro, I sip it and thank Him, yessir
I might not win a grammy, or get another stellar
But I'll get rewards from my Lord, it ain't nothing better
I might not chart again, I may not sell a milli
But I been purchased by my King, He's forever with me
So what they talking bout? No they can't knock me down
Yessir I do feel pain, but Jesus got me now
That's why I'm making noise, that's why I'm running hard
That's why I go gorilla, spitting them monkey bars
[Hook:]
Partner you know I'm good to go
Pressure creates diamonds and fire refines the gold
There's nothing on this planet that's satisfying my soul
I'm living for tomorrow, today is out of control, fa sho, I'm Good
Take all my money, I'm good
Here comes the pain, I'm good
Yeah they can kill me, I'm good
To die is gain, I'm good
I ain't saying that we don't feel any pain
I'm just saying you can't take us out the game, cause homie we good
[Verse 2: Lecrae]
I done been through the fire, I survived all the floods
And them writers is with me, they all covered in blood
Drag my name through the mud, they can hate they can gossip
But my passion for Jesus, they ain't never gon' stop it
I was dead, I guess that made me better than I ever was
Look at me! I'm good partna I'm on my forever buzz
If everything I have is taken I can take it
They say I'd never make it, I know the person who made it
My life is hidden in Him, so when I die I gain
And Jesus really be walkin with me so how I'm lame?
My life full of pain, problems, and such
But I'm focused on forever and eternity's touch
While the world try to fight me, Pharisee's try to stone me
I am Tebow in the fourth quarter, they can't hold me
Yeah the lord is my coach, got me off in the zone
Tell my momma that I'm good when HE carry me home
I'm GOOD
[Verse 3:]
I know that I'm a suffer, that'll only make me tougher
Death is just a doorway to take me to my faithful lover
The Lover of my soul's with me, you can shake the brother
But you'll never knock me down or take me under, bring the thunder
Let the storms come to hunt us and hurt us
They can't take our Lord from us bro He got us a verdict
Not guilty, He's with us and He stays present
Never leaves me He even gives me stage presence
