Passport (The Premix)

[Hook: Zae da Blacksmith & Sample]
I can still remember the days before I knew I was lost
Before you gave me the grace to come to know (who you are)
I couldn't shift, I kept drifting, my vision was impaired
I had no direction, I wasn't heading for (anywhere)
I still remember the days before I knew I was lost
Before you gave me the grace to come to know (who you are)
I couldn't shift, I kept drifting, my vision was impaired
I had no direction, I wasn't heading for (anywhere)

[Verse 1: Zae da Blacksmith & Sample]
Yeah, I must have thought I was the freshest
Walked with a bop, a fine specimen
Of one who was invested in extending adolescence
Couldn't make the best of the blessings that God kept handing me
My family’s wondering “what’s it gonna take to make a man of me”
Calamity and strife filled my life from unwise living
Anesthetize it with drinks and spending my nights with women
But I thought I was living the life, though
Content with my little rep for picking up mics and spitting a hype flow
But that was superficial, though, I’d laugh though I was miserable
Was dark inside but I was trying to mask it like a minstrel show
But in the midst of this picture the Lord took a hold of me
Miraculously crafting me gradually shaped and molded me
First came conviction from women and blazing spliffs then
Through the power of prayer God put away those addictions
He gave me strength for the burdens I couldn't bear
So I don't care where we're heading, I’ll follow you (anywhere), yeah

[Hook: Zae da Blacksmith & Sample]
I set my heart on a course to pursue God
Lord, help me to grow to know more of (who you are)
You saved my soul from hell and out of despair
So I don’t care where we're heading, I’ll follow You (anywhere), yeah
I set my heart on a course to pursue God
Lord, help me to grow to know more of (who you are)
You saved my soul from hell and out of despair
So I don’t care where we're heading, I’ll follow You (anywhere)

[Verse 2: Zae da Blacksmith & Sample]
I felt oh so refreshed then, walking with Christ was such a blessing
And wrestling with my old way of life was out the question
'Cause man, I was so impressed with His life, death, and resurrection
I counted my life a loss and Christ was my greatest treasure
I mean, it ain't like I ain't have no problems or stress
But when I did, I ran to Him, He gave me His strength and rest
Empowered my fist to pummel the sin that's tugging within
Rejected whatever thing that threatened my love for Him
It was the sweetest time but somewhere along the line
Settled for a lesser treasure than what God would have for me in His design
The consequence of walking in my own strength was sickening
I’d serve along the brethren but I’d feel like such a hypocrite
It seems I lost my passion for the glory of the Lord
Compassion for the lost and for cats to carry their cross
And though I wouldn't dare to say it inside it's like I don't care
The way I'm living it's like I won't follow Him (anywhere)

[Hook: Zae da Blacksmith & Sample]
And though I front like we're cool, like we're still not too far
It seems that I must have forgot about (who you are)
'Cause though I wouldn't dare to say it inside it's like I don't care
The way I'm living is like I won't follow Him (anywhere)
And though I front like we're cool, like we're still not too far
It seems that I must have forgot about (who you are)
'Cause though I wouldn't dare to say it inside it's like I don't care
The way I'm living is like I won't follow Him (anywhere)

[Verse 3: Zae da Blacksmith & Sample]
Was in a pit of depression, felt like my walk was a flop, never expected
That I would be so indifferent to Christ and that I’d neglect Him
I must have got swept away with the current of life’s ills
Like making paper to pay for the rent and the light bill
And so many other cares with just the family affairs
Like praying the test for mom's cancer declares that she’s clear, yeah
And still your brother had worries in other areas
I had a myriad of various trials I was carrying
But God insisted in spite of my heart's persistence
To push Him off to the side and invite in a far distance
He brought me closer, exposing me from the dark
The more His light hit my heart I cared less of what people thought
'Cause I don't want to keep deceiving Him, plus it's Jesus i'm needing
To esteem and to receive strength if I'm to be obedient
So I set my hopes on the person and work of Christ
And set my thought on the cross and the cost of eternal life
And as I sit here and reflect on this path that I’ve walked
It feels like I'm looking at ink stamps on my passport
I see the different places in life I've been through
And contemplate how I lived and think “this is who Christ was sent for?”
I traveled up and down and got around with no direction
Been a thousand miles from home but had His guidance and protection
So my prayer is through this journey, Christ, I want to have you near
I'm packing up my satchel, we can travel (anywhere), yeah
