I must confess
This life na mess
I dey stress
Ohhh ohhhh ohhhh
I wan dey progress
I wan be the best
Better than the rest
It was 1, 2, 3, 4
Walking through the door
It was 5, 6 pick up chicks
7, 8 lay em straight
Smoke a blunt, Levitate
Close my eyes
Meditate
Thinking this life?
Mehn I gatta change
Anyways that was in my past life
Jesus gat me so
Now I'm living right
Now I'm spitting here
Tryna show these niggas to the light
It's why I talk about Christ
Cause He's worth the hype ohh
See spread The gospel
God flow
Can't stop
This hustle, they know
Why am I so sure?
Cause He told me so
His anointing was the reason for that overflow

Praising Jesus when I step into the room

Haters watch me sweep em with a broom
Just so excited praise God with this tune ayyee!

Praising God cause I know

Shinning both day and night
Prisoners from cell see us
Cause we're far in height

Thank You for Your Grace
You never let me down
You turn everything around
Ojo mi

You take me all the way
And You are here to stay

I'm just killing time
Oooooo
