Best Thing That I Found
Corbett Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Another face, in the crowd
Fall from grace I'm coming down
You're the best thing that I found
You're the best thing that I found
You lost your way
I lost my crown
I'm still here feet on the ground
You're the best thing that I found
You're the best thing that I found (that I found)

I used to get these feelings and think of these crazy things
But when you shine your light on me it's like you gave me wings
I thought I was depressed, you showed me how much more I was blessed
I'm thanking you lord, this I could confess
You know more than anybody all that I had to go through
I heard you when you said that's just somethin' I had to show you
For me to get to know you like I know you
And when the reaper tried to come to get me
You came to save me, I owe you
Some call you Jesus's father, but some say you the holy ghost
I know you love because when things get ugly you hold me close
This is why I try to live the life of 'just righteousness'
Feeling like the opposite something you wouldn't like for us
Coulda easily got addicted, couldn't kick it
You told me to never try it, that's why I never did it
Heavenly father, never forget it
My life without you, I'd just rather not live it

Another face, in the crowd
Fall from grace I'm coming down
You're the best thing that I found
You're the best thing that I found
You lost your way
I lost my crown
I'm still here feet on the ground
You're the best thing that I found
You're the best thing that I found (that I found)

Yeah
Not ashamed of my pain
Not ashamed of my struggle
I lost some battles but I'm still out here facing this trouble
Facing my trials cause they only make me stronger
Starving in these streets will only elevate your hunger
Beat me down and laugh at me, tell me that this is foolishness
They can't take my hope away, from and nobody's movin' it
Faith ain't what you make it, faith is all I got to make it
Tired of you forsaken, you naked left in it vacant
Forget them naysayers and haters and stay at it
Sometimes a dream broken is a dream worth having
My pastor
Can't rewind it and back up
Focus fixed on the future so tell my failures to backup
Get back up after you fall when your back is up on that wall
Ain't no backup that you control, just look back up at god and call
Sometimes the pain is the motivation of trust
And them scars are the evidence that the journey was rough, yeah
None of it was in vain, readjusted the aim
Missed a couple of shots
Still ain't outta the game

Another face, in the crowd
Fall from grace I'm coming down
You're the best thing that I found
You're the best thing that I found
You lost your way
I lost my crown
I'm still here feet on the ground
You're the best thing that I found
You're the best thing that I found (that I found)

And we pray and we pray and we pray and we pray
And we pray and we pray and we pray and we pray
And we pray and we pray and we pray and we pray
S to the A and my little brother Lecrae (Lecrae)
DJ, Corbett
Haha
We all got faith, in that man upstairs




Hallelujah, amen
Thank you

The lyrics to Corbett's song "Best Thing That I Found" convey a strong sense of gratitude and spiritual enlightenment. The first stanza expresses a feeling of being lost and fallen from grace, but finding solace in someone or something that is described as the best thing that the singer has found. This could refer to a person who has provided support and companionship during a difficult time.


The second stanza dives deeper into the singer's personal journey of self-discovery and transformation. They reflect on their past struggles and feelings of depression, but acknowledge that their perspective changed when someone, possibly a religious figure or a significant other, shone a light on them. This newfound light gave them wings to soar above their previous struggles, making them realize the blessings they have in life.


The third stanza represents a strong declaration of faith and the singer's reverence for a higher power.

I love it. He is impacting the culture in a big way! I pray that his efforts are fruitful and glorify the Lord! Just so everyone knows, if you look at my Spotify most played artists Lecrae wins by a landslide lol. He does more than most people even know. When Gravity was dropping he was out doing mission work. What a light. Fuego! Let's let our lights shine too, brothers and sisters!

R4EVER17

It's not the artist but the quality, heart, and message of the lyrics which is strongly Christian. He is the best thing I have ever found... Powerful...

Hammer Time Gospel

The best line EVER. "Some call you the father, some call you the holy ghost I know that you love me cause when things get ugly you hold me close."

Andrew Martinez

This song goes hard! Need more songs like these. Inspirational and encouraging compared to the hard beats Christian rappers are trying to drop to be like main stream secular artists.

Armor of God

may God bless you brother. I have a similar testimony. I'm thankful to God we both found God..or actually God found us...thank you Jesus!

TurboNerd.

1. He is supporting them. People will buy Saigon's album because Crae is on it. People who never heard of Saigon will now know him. 2. Yep, he is spreading God's word and message to a place that desperately needs it. Praise God for that! 3. I already mentioned I pray for Lecrae. I've done so quite often actually. I support him, his music, and his ministry. He is answering God's call as I strive to do in my life. I love Lecrae and have the utmost respect for him.

DeeJaySplash4Christ

Glory to God! I believe many who normally would not have tuned in to Lecrae will check out this video. Good work Lecrae!

Truthaholikz

We need more of this type of rap music in the world.

Ruben Dejesus

Crae killed that verse. Dope song! Saigon really poured out on this joint. Like KRIT on mayday. These rappers are human like all of us God is perfect in our weakness. This is a prime example! SALUTE
