GOSPEL ACCORDING TO TAY Lyrics

Flirting with 27

Praise my lord in heaven

For bringing me this far

Feel like I dodged a death wish

And caught my blessings though I Dealt with my fair share of pressure

I caught my second wind while you niggas still playing catch up

I got too much pride

Shit is suicide

My nights are full of sin

My days are full of lies

Gotta pay my momma back for tears she cried

How the fuck you think this 9 to five gon satisfy

Shit gon change for a Nigga like me

My nigga hit a stain in the whitest Nikes

Seen bright days transition into dark nights

I seen my uncle body in between the chalk lines

I heard my cousin screaming for him in his nightmares

The world is yours but it never seems to fight fair

Rap really ain't shit till it pays

I gave you a glimpse of my pain

I did you a million fav-ours

But you couldn't do me the same

Nigga I grew up in flames

And people around me were fanning the fire

But I was controlling the wave

So trust me we just ain't the same

Dodging the forks in the road

Swerve on the bend never fold

Had to survive in the cold

From the concrete I arose

Blossomed from wet dirt

Run till my legs hurt

Strive under pressure

Work or you'll get worked

Young Jireh soul provider leave the booth christened

Lone rider outlier I got one mission

Get with the program

Niggas know the slogan

Do it in dark and shine on niggas that are lost

Protect your dreams from the ones that are tryna take ya spot

And take necessary risks no matter how much it cost

I was born inside the summer breeze

Day after July 16th

So it's fair to say that I'm shining on these niggas with ease

I'm deadly with the pen like Light Yagami

They tried to take my peace away I can't let it bother me

My easel full pain let the paint bleed

I got what you need but it ain't cheap

Coming for everything pay me what you owe

I wear my heart up on my sleeve and keep a foot up on their throat

Cause I know that death is certain and the money ain't

So I gotta get it now ain't no time to wait

This is the hill I die on

The heart of lion

Love letter to Zion

Warm shoulder to cry on

The wings that doves fly on

The voice to sing my song

Where I get my fire from

Do it till my time's done
