Lighthouse
Tarcea Renee Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

I'm just tryin to show em
What hope really look like
Hoping that they get to know em
Cause they future don't look bright
Nah, I can see it don't look right, nah
Cause its danger lurkin ahead
Death right in front of them, purpose ahead
So reroute, I'm just tryin to lead you in to the lighthouse

Is it anybody out there
Who really care about the life they living
Is it anybody out there
Who really care about the time they spendin, or wasting
They chasing that cheese, Like a rat, in a trap
Running circles like laps, until they collapse
Stuck to the money like honey And you got the keys
So you beez in the trap, trapped
Yeah that's how it go, I been there befo
So yes I would know
That you ain't gotta chase cash
And you can lose it all
Quick fast in a blink or a hurry
Hit 5 shots on the block, like Steph Curry
Get a pine box, no green like a pine cone
And I promise man, you ain't gotta have ya mind gone
Get God and I promise he'll leave ya mind blown
Real fast, no fakin' I ain't talking rhinestones

I'm just tryin to show em
What hope really look like
Hoping that they get to know em
Cause they future don't look bright
Nah, I can see it don't look right, nah
Cause its danger, lurkin ahead
Death right in front of them, purpose ahead,
So reroute, I'm just tryin to lead you in to the lighthouse

Is it anybody out there, who really care about the life they living, they living
Said, Is it anybody out there, who really care about the crimes they committing

I doubt it, so that's why they need the gospel
See Jesus he love us, indeed he got you
See the ransom been paid, for the sins we opt to
If it wasn't, we'll be dead, In the ground, like fossils

Trying to catch a body, he is, too
See, the devil use you to get them, and you, issa trap
And ya strap a have you gaffed up, patched up
Body bagged, Toe tagged, candy wrapped up
But I know somebody who can lift you back up
Jesus, Laid in a grave and got back up
In 3 days and he did that for me and you
So we can live after death, life times 2, this just a preview
But You can't Neglect him, You gotta accept him
With sin we infected, but he got protection

I'm just tryin to show em,
What hope really look like
Hoping that they get to know em
D, D, Danger, lurkin ahead
Death right in front of them, purpose ahead,
So reroute, I'm just tryin to lead you in to the lighthouse

Jesus, keeps us from Satan and evil temptations
Cause Satan don't love us, he'll leave and forsake us
He'll lead us to sin, then shake us and bake us
In fire with hiiim
Unless we love our maker, our God & creator
Above everything and we can't be no fakers, nope
Or he'll spit us out like some gum, with no flavor
Or put us back down like no salt in the shaker, ha
So that's why we bleed the gospel
Cause everybody need the gospel
If you want it, we got it, he owns it
We on it, like kryptonite, feed the gospel

I'm just tryin to show em
What hope really look like
Hoping that they get to know em
D, D, Danger, lurkin ahead

Death right in front of them, purpose ahead
So reroute, I'm just tryin to lead you in to the lighthouse
