Flame Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh ya Steve T. in the building hey
We got our hands to the plow and we running man we working hard over here
Let's go

[Repeat: x2]
Used to run from Him but now I'm running for my God
Running for my God
Running for my God

Every time this record play run it back
Hop in the word to run the plays like a running back
I'm moving moving like I'm running track
Gotta stay busy cause the Lord's soon to come back

[Repeat: x15]
I'm running

Running for the Lord like it ain't no tomorrow
Ain't seen hell so I'm winning like Chicago
Yep cause I been called to the pavement
And you know for the Lord I run miles like Davis
These new shoes call em peace of the gospel
It's a tough race but I die if I got to
And you know it's only Jesus that I'm running for
Catch me on the move like I thought I heard the gun blow
And I sip that life water never getting thirsty
I'm going spend the word and get Jackie Joyner Kersee
Cause the track is His will and His will keep me going
Even though your boy ain't never James worthy
Now Taylor Swift started strong but the one who will duel tell the end
He gonna be on top
And Jesus said we should all stay occupied
So what I look like letting time fly by

Every time this record play run it back
Hop in the word to run the plays like a running back
I'm moving moving like I'm running track
Gotta stay busy cause the Lord's soon to come back

[Repeat: x15]
I'm running

I'm here to promote Jesus but I am not a publicist
I am just a light trying to show you where the rubbish is
The world is a trick filled with magicians rappers actors athletes politicians
But imagine what can happen if we had a pile a Christians
Filled with the Spirit and wisdom intermissions
This ain't no intermission homie you know what I'm talking bout
Kids pulling nines out while we calling time out
Gathering possessions snacking on refreshments
While the world speaks drinks like they need a pregnant
That's why we need Jesus for biblical reflection
This your boy Flame til He come see me repping
So many people follow Jesus for riches and caviar
Til I expire told the messiah I'm serving and working hard
Cause it's true you can recognize a tree by it's fruit
And I'm trying to bear mine no spare time
Every time this record play run it back

Hop in the word to run the plays like a running back
I'm moving moving like I'm running track
Gotta stay busy cause the Lord's soon to come back

[Repeat: x2]
Used to run from Him but now I'm running for my God
Running for my God
Running for my God





[Repeat: x15]
I'm running
