We watched it all go to ashes I'd prayed for days like the last stretch Can't we go back to the magic? The berries turn, and they twist Don't tell me that was the last kiss Well, if it was, it was classic That brings me peace of mind Believe in miracles There's a reason for How the scene unfolds Don't stop wishin' Believe in miracles Every season goes We can start again Uh, look, uh We gotta find a place Shit, maybe it's near the stars (uh) Where we can feel safe Maybe only way to make it to the light is through the dark Uh, but are you following the flames? Hm, like a tail chasing a dog A lot shit been rough Harder been tough, but it's nothin' Just place your faith within God, yeah (uh) Uh Heaven was hell and vice-a versa, a verse of vices Writin' in cursive, the grind of a author, definin' purpose Talkin' to himself, walkin' in circles In a secluded cabin somewhere cold, no phone service So un-sober, smokin' somethin' he purchased from a grower that he knows And like sand to the beach, he brought some blow to the snow Kind of right on the nose Tryna find the light for years, he feels tired, and it shows Rivalin' his peers, overthinkin', playin' right into the spirits Extinguish all the fire, disappeared But he don't see nothin' admired in the mirror He's silently insecure, sniffin' white lines, pure Writin' a line, sniff a white line, pure Writin' a line, sniff a white line, pure And it's like a cycle, it's fear You read the Bible much? It's givin' much required to steer Battlin' life, he lost his before he conquered his fear What if Heaven was hell and vice-a versa? A verse of vices Very immersive, the verbiage a bit divisive Over-determined, overtime, workin' in silence Searchin' for purpose 'til you feel the perfect alignment Clowns in a circus, circle around, you been in bondage Breakin' in burglars, stealin' swag, she steady climbin' Speakin' encouragement to the family is by design And she wearin' designer, learn to see life on the other side Fuck if Heaven was hell Never rebel from the side of God, you been lead to prevail Followin' idols that's falsified is the deadliest trail She kept her mind and eyes on the prize for the better of self Instead of regrettin' whatever's dealt, what an elegant tale Simplest life, husband and wife with the pride on the shelf Is somethin' I like and I think it's time to retire my belt Tryna write a happy ending story While I'm seein' somethin' more than Heaven, Hell or purgatory (uh) We gotta find the place Shit, maybe it's near the stars (uh) Where we can feel safe Maybe only way to make it to the light is through the dark Uh, but are you following the flames? Hmm, like a tail chasing a dog A lot shit been rough Harder been tough, but it's nothin' Just place your faith within God, yeah, uh It's a place not made with hands (alright) It's a place that said, that if you believe, it has your name on it I don't about you, but I'm looking forward to seeing this place I'm looking forward to that safe house I can't wait to get there, can't you? I can't wait to be in that place Uh, look All I wanted was some money since a snotty nose All the niggas that I know with dough left the hood and didn't tell us, "Adiós" I was takin' notes Even seen the preacher on the TV tell me sin is $199.99 And he can save our soul Say it ain't so, niggas done sold us down the road But I know God give the heaviest load to the strongest soldiers And if I know this, I might as well assume the role And try and lead us to the land in milk and honey, word to Moses I got mixed emotions, cross-faded, hit the dope, and mix the potions Daily devotions on my nightstand by the different strands of violas Violets, blue blood droppin', it's red as the roses Niggas shootin', not a movie, but you dead in the focus Step in the light 'cause in the night, it gets dark as the ocean Beau in LeBlanc, hit the blunt as we parked in the cul-de' Sack in his pockets, said that one day, "We takin' this over" Nodded my head, spinned the block and looked over my shoulder And you was there for me, but carefully placed Truth was darin' me, starin' death in the face Look in the way when I was stuck in the space Stumblin', bend, but nothin' would break Titanium, tough as they make (talk shit) In the lion's den, I resembled David, I repent the sin I return to sender every shot, nigga 'cause many men Wish death pon black breath Dell Curry, I can raise a 30, but it's not Steph You ain't really got the chops, crank it up a notch, cookin' with the top chef I gotta watch myself, a beautiful life, a ugly cycle, I gotta stop myself I'm bleedin', takin' a beatin', we come from the Bible belt Indeed, I never could leave it, I'm seein' nobody could help Strategic that you the reasonin', achieved, they didn't believe in him Succeed, I swim in the deep again, I'm sinkin', when can I breathe again? The fatigue is settin' in, I can speak in telekinesis Tellin' God what I need, I fall on my knees, then stand on my feet I'm back on the road, the sinner repent and repeat, the sinner repent and repeat The sinner repent I gotta see it through until it's finished, we all got a sentence we up against Blank period, where the promethazines? I been searchin' for somethin' with substance I'm clearly comin' up with nothing But fuck it, I'll go where the love is, I think that's the play I might've found it, yeah This guy came, he thinks he a prophet And he said, picked us out of the whole church "That couple right there" Called us up to the front of the church, I was I was still high from bein' out all night (yeah) And he said "God say, you all ain't gon' have to worry 'bout nothin' But you need to remember it's not you that got us this good It was the Lord, God Almighty" I'll never forget that
