Twenty Seventeen Lyrics

But God Bro

But God

And if it had not been for Him

If it was not for Him

I would be lost somewhere, Man

Still in the wilderness

And I know I'm still figuring my way out of it

But I feel like I got a hand that's just guiding me, if that makes any sense

It's holding on tight this time

It's like I ain't letting you go as long as you don't let go

And this time I'm holding on like I ain't got nowhere

Ya dig

It was a

Late late night but it was darker than he'd ever seen

And he felt guilty like he had commit a felony

So he promise God that he would strive to be a better me

Looking at the clouds in the sky it felt heavenly

Not the same man that he was in 2017

Know that he was covered by someone with a set of wings

Yeah he had a girl but this was well before the wedding ring

And he know she spared him like she had a extra set of keys

First name Zander gotta spell it with the letter Z

Told myself that I would only do this temporarily

Looking at the way that I was changing it was scaring me

Never knew long term that it would be preparing me

Lot on my temple

Full six months and I was out there living sinful

Moving face pace and I ain't talking about the tempo

It was so essential

See I was sending voice memos

To my Brodie that was there for me

Yeah that's my brother gotta spell it with the letter B

Got different mothers but he love me that's a guarantee

And we would talk to one another like it's therapy

So I took heed to everything that you was telling me

Because I always felt a sense of sincerity

You really cared for me

That moment gave me clarity

Because it made me look at the longevity

Yeah

But it was party every weekend

Late night drinking

Swimming in my habits

Felt like I was sinking

Living in the moment

Wasn't doing much thinking

Plus I talked a good game but didn't practice what I'm preaching

Meaning, it felt like I was victim to the lifestyle

It's like somebody cut the lights down

This was my journey so I could be the man that I am right now

You are now listening to the thoughts of a night owl

You are now listening to the thoughts of a young Believer

I'm even talking to the unbelievers

I still marvel at the Mona Lisa

Cause I know God took His time when He gave us all 100 features

Ain't nothing worse in this world than feeling unfulfilled

Yeah

Than feeling unfulfilled

See I can see it in your eyes you need something real

You know it's real when it feels surreal

Forreal

I know I ran into some things that could've been avoided

Moving out of place like I'm double jointed

Steady going

But like a cameraman I knew I had to get in focus

Should've sent a hundred roses

Sorry you were disappointed

And

I think it's crazy how we speak the same language

But things got lost in translation

I blame it on the fact that I was lacking patience

Even maturation

It took a while but we graduated

Until then

Headed back home

Hop on the 94

Trynna get everything we been grinding for

Zander the fourth

Was born in 94

90's boy

Things get deep you can find me on the diving board

That mean I'm head first

Yeah

We don't call it labor it's just leg work

Hm

Lot on my mind make my head hurt

But I'm covered in His blood

Like a red shirt

Yeah

It's like

I was doing wrong for so long now I try to do right

Aye

Crazy how you start to lose sight

Good or the bad you gon have to choose sides

Starring in the mirror got me asking

Was doing wrong for so long now I try to do right

Aye

Crazy how you start to lose sight

Good or the bad you gon have to chose sides

Starring in the mirror got me asking who am I

Who am I

Excuse me bro

And I'm already victorious, Man

I've already won, Man

This little battle I lost, the war's already won

The war's already won

I am victorious

I am victorious

So, yeah Man, victory is ours Bro

I'm a Believer, Man

And I am a fighter

But we have to discipline ourselves on both fronts, Man

Cause it's a war going on outside, my baby, forreal

So Imma discipline myself spiritually

And Imma discipline myself in the flesh

Cause I understand what's at stake

And I'm not going to lose
