Dei Gratia

[Intro]
What up, what up?
Just laying around thinking about, just laying around thinking about
What up, what up?
Just laying around thinking about
SoSpecial (Special)
Uh

[Verse]
Bills pile, so I gotta get it
Kneel down, ask for God's assistance
Huh, grew up in some wild conditions
Whole block ain't have a pot to piss in
Uh, so we get it how we could
Food stamps just to get it, had to rip it out the book
In comparison, I guess how I'm livin' now is good
It's different now, switched the doubt of gettin' out the hood, uh
Uh, all the weight up on my shoulders heavy
'Cause losin' focus, even if it's for a moment, is deadly
Yeah, keep goin': if it's slow, then steady
Complete the race, leap of faith with the hope He catch me (Yeah)
Uh, least that's what I'm hopin' for
I heard when God close a door, that He'll open more
Yeah, if it's true, I don't know for sure
Tossed overboard, broke, tryna float to shore (SoSpecial)
Huh, that's the reality I'm in
To be honest, it's a challenge just to swim
And lately, I've been tryna be a little bit more honest with my friends
So they offer me solutions, but a lot of them begins
Probably with sin, non-belief
It's a whole lot of things way deep inside of me to vent
Trauma seeps inside of my mind so deep
That every time that I'm asleep, the only thing that I can see is them (Aah!)
Uh, won't stop 'til my vision straight
I'll quit the day I get a steak at a Chick-Fil-A
Fall, but always bounce back, like a ricochet
'Cause people countin' on me like a hand in math class
So I can't tap, nah, this isn't MMA
My kids hungry, so to them, I'm like Ricky Flay
With this writtens, when I'm finished, what they finna say?
I wasn't on the bench, but the kid didn't play (Special)
Uh, you ain't gotta respect me
I'll dog walk most of you— if you doubt it, then test me
Your whole career look like it's been on top of a jet-ski:
What I'm sayin' is none of you wave-riders impress me, hah
Lemme chill, 'cause the virtue
Is always humility, real, not commercial
Hard to do when the peers in your field out your circle
Don't see a skill, rejection that you feel now could hurt you (SoSpecial)
Uh, then you feel inclined to prove 'em wrong
But at that very moment is where you went wrong
Everything with music, man, I do for God
I shouldn't change if the stage and your approval's gone (Approval's gone)
Uh (Uh), yeah (Yeah)
Yeah (Yeah)
Everything with music, man, I do for God
I shouldn't change if the stage and your approval's gone

[Outro]
Bumpy! (Bumpy, Bumpy)
