New Dreams

歌詞

I was taught that living the good life meant getting everything I could But I've been shown a brand new picture of the good life, and it's glorious Aye I was raised in that lone star state where we go hard Can't do it small at all, 'cause big things our state My dreams as a buck was to make a large bank Daddy told me be the best, no one can tell me I can't Be the best baller, or be the best rapper Got a little older, and went after the latter Grind until I shine, trying to climb that ladder Grab a couple girls, 'cause your boy looked dapper But at a young age, I saw I had it wrong Full of drive, but moving in reverse all along Dreams full of pride, heart full of stone You know I had to redefine what I grind on Success is dangerous if you don't do it right He gave us everything for pointing to him right So toast to the king who gave me some new dreams Everything for his name, that's how I do things [Chorus] Never knew how lost I was 'till I found out That I couldn't hear his voice, it was drowned out I was chasing things, selfish dreams Now I see what he has for me It's the good life (Wake up!) I grew up with those doctrines and those angels When wings get mangled and they rock a broken halo Success is an idol from Hollywood to Diego No hablo if you don't speak with the pesos And their favorite dollar sign is too much More greed, more lust, more taste, more touch I had an appetite that ate from the devil's power With every bite 'cause he would rise I'm kissing my life goodbye If I find I have a need this world cannot meet Then I know this life is a place where my hope should not be I've been chasing those things that are real fake This is not a real place, this is a dream state Functional saviors ain't hip, their a real waste What's the palace going off of without a major king Pain, sorrow, and empty treasures Spite the creator and deem creation simply better The ward off is a lot of things, but it's really lying And to the Lord, the good life is really dying I'm the Lord's procession, so my heart's in the heavens' True religion in my jeans, now stop guessing [Chorus] Even the sun goes down, heroes die eventually Great careers end in the industry Empires implode; you may go down in history But everything will go down eventually Look, you can stack bread, but you can't stop death And there will be no comforter for you in that bed We all get laid out, the games get played out In a maze headed to the grave, and there's no way out You can't outlast life, it fades out fast Death is coming for us all, everything's gonna pass So look at it from that angle down My dreams gotta be bigger and greater than that I was with the persecuted martyrs in Asia Were living out their dreams, though they was walking in danger Their dreams were lifting up the heart of the savior And living in a way that shows that he's all that they wait for One's stacking up the cake, but one's walking in favor Living a good life, 'cause they walk with the maker My dreams are different, you know that I've been changed now The good life is the life that's been laid down. The good life Yeah it's the good life The good life Yeah it's the good life
