Lazarus (Walk on Water IV)

Chorus

I resurrected after what just felt like a life bid
Walked out the grave similar to how Christ did
Broad daylight, my people dying from nightsticks
It made me turn on a light switch
And get up in my zone
Start speaking bold
This is not apathy or blasphemy it's actually coming from my soul
I just set my goals
I need financial freedom, while I move like Jesus
I will walk on water

Verse 1

I'm in a space where all hate and shade gets rejected
All criticism deflected
The way I'm feeling today, I'm angelic, blessed and protected
When devils enter my section, attempting to use their method
To conjure curses, I'm perfectly shielded and unaffected
I am
Sent from above, sent to show love
See the world has been over flooded, Noah sent out the dove
And he came back like it's all good
I am the plug, for salvation, I can say that when I'm donating blood
I'm like a sacrificial lamb, son of Abraham, saving man
Healing the afflicted, I lay my hand
Hurdles in life, the size of Goliath, had me following David's plan
I aimed between the eyes and every hater, I made a fan
I feel like I should get a Grammy, Emmy or Espy
I spit screenplays and skate on frozen water, I'm Gretzky
And when it's liquid, I'm still vivid, use my Jordan's like jet skis
I speak with passion, you can see that He blessed me
I'm giving you scriptures, they're so efficient, transcending the genre
They calling it hostile gospel, rapper, pastor and monster
God is always on time, I adapted the mantra
So if you ever have demons that you battled and conquered
Then say Amen, Hallelujah
All praises due
To whoever you recognize as the one that created you
You a Baptist, Catholic, witness Jehovah, maybe a Jew
Or you're Islamic, seventh day or an atheist making moves saying
"I ain’t do this all on my own," well that's what I say
I embody Christ so I'm only grateful when I pray
I don't ask for chips like a kid making Santa's list
I'm just thankful for dodging sickness, through my days
As long as my fam is full of love, joy, peace and I got my health
I'm Bill Gates filthy, testament to my mama's help
Whether rapping or acting, I'll still gain Glory, “Just Right,”
But you can't call it Common wealth, I walk on water

Chorus 2

Depression felt like a life bid
Walked out the grave similar to how Christ did
Broad daylight, my people dying from nightsticks
It made me turn on a light switch
And get up in my zone
Start speaking bold
This is not apathy or blasphemy it's actually coming from my soul
I just set my goals
I need financial freedom, while I move like Jesus
I will walk on water

Verse 2

Y'all don't understand
I'm the top seed, even me stopping it didn't stop me
Your top speed, it could be Mach speed, couldn't mock me
Watch me, spiritual opposite of a Nazi
Moses split the sea and that's hot B
But me, I would have stepped on top of it
The way I lead missions, is giving supreme vision to people that need fixing
If your days seem dark, I'm shining and scene-switching
Watch you go from lean-sipping to clean living
I make folks stand when they want to lean
Plan when they only dream
Glad when they join my team
Mad men to lonely teens
Listen to my sermons, most my verses, I'm just blowing steam
But you can see each year
I gain more esteem
Y'all still on that
Pop bottles in clubs, server comes with the sparklers
It's all eyes on you
Now you’re the gold diggers target
I'm busy plotting how to stretch my message higher and farther
And be a better man, teacher, coach, rhymer, and father
Look
At my face these are real tears
I know I gotta shield my son from danger, I feel fear
I worry 'bout the drugs, guns, cops, diseases, malicious “thots,” and all the different types of music that he'll hear
Especially mine
I still spit like a heathen destined to be the next
Deacon blessed by a deaconess in a freak 'em dress
A walking contradiction's what I mean when you see my flesh
I'm just a human being but I follow in Jesus steps
The Bible says he washed away the sins of mankind
But homie was crucified like he committed bad crimes
Guess the ones you try to save, are the same ones to send you to your grave
If you're mad at that last line
You're probably pissed at my whole existence
The way my thoughts can torture
My brain is a cause for slaughter, they say I'm an awful author
This may be my tallest order, creating these songs to alter the sons and unconscious daughters, with faith of a fallen martyr
I'm crazy I walk on water

Chorus 1

Outro

I knew I was near the bottom when I started envisioning my own funeral
I knew I was close to my breaking point when I would get envious of artists that passed away. I wanted more views, I wanted to be celebrated, I actually said to myself I would never become a trending topic while I'm alive...So how do you snap your fingers and implement all the motivational speeches you've heard about not living in the past, stop being the victim, visualize success? It all sounds so farfetched and so hard. Chances are you lost a loved one, or had some relationship heartache, illness, financial hardship, and there are times that getting past any of that seems impossible. Like walking on water

I'm not here telling you to do something I didn't do
I'm not saying I won't face more adversity, more tragedy, more pain, but every time the soul experiences discomfort it's growing. It's how I perceive struggle that makes it ...struggle

I made a choice and now I choose to share my journey, not because I'm stuck on my journey but because I realized that when you start anticipating sleep, and desiring unconsciousness, and you can't wait to go to bed, just so you can dream about the life you're afraid to have...it's time to wake up
