Brandon
[Pre-Chorus: Brandon Trejo]
Amen, Amen, Amen, yeah
Here we go again, ya'll
KMF, dawg
Father God, please take my heart
He'll reveal, what's inside
Yeah, self-examine
[Chorus: Brandon Trejo]
Who do you do it for?
The hype, the crowd, the back end
Who do you do it for?
'Cuz, all that bread just madness
Self-examination
Please take our hearts, Lord, and where e're I fall
Self-examination
If you ain't innocent, and becomes the night, oh
[Verse 1: Antwoine Hill]
Lord, check my heart and my intentions, everything that I mention
Everything that I'm doin', pursuin', and all my ambitions
Am I livin' for a check or am I livin' for you?
Don't let me miss out on my blessings, tryna' prove, I'm the truth
'Cuz it's, you alone who gave me this, the life I had was made for this
Every gift and every talent is invalid, if I'm fakin' it
Tryna' point 'em to the cross, 'cuz, that's the source of my strength
I know what life is like with loss, I had to often repent
Mind driftin', I'm trippin', gettin' caught up in me
That's why I sing glory to God, 'cuz that is all it can be
You parted the sea, brought me out of bondage
And now, it no lookin' back, I got no other options
At times, I feel get tooken back
'Cuz, I am just a vessel, nothin' special, let me preface that
I need you every day, would led astray, you came and brought me back
So, this is just me in the mirror, damaged myself
Don't let me miss out on the point, I must examine myself
Yeah
[Chorus: Brandon Trejo]
Who do you do it for?
The hype, the crowd, the back end
Who do you do it for?
'Cuz, all that bread just madness
Self-examination
Please take our hearts, Lord, and where e're I fall
Self-examination
If you ain't innocent, and becomes the night, oh
[Verse 2: Antwoine Hill]
We are just abunch of people, goin' through life, facin' these ups and downs
Some people say we fell in this life, that's why I tell the crowd
That praises go to God alone, I point 'em to him
Without Jesus, man, I am wretched, go ask all of my kin
Ask all of my friends, they been there with me
Drugged out, thugged out, not a lot of people would've, thought I figure stuff out
I didn't really, I just give it all to him
I know if I lose sight of God, no lie, I could really fall to sin
So, when I hit my bed at night, I pray that I don't let you down
And, every verse I ever write, I pray God, I make you proud
Lead me, lord, spiritual eyes and ears a lot of years
Spent on what I'm doin' for me, and not what's God I hear
And should I self improve and study the scriptures
God paints a picture, prayin', I don't be a hypocrite, and, you are my witness
So, it's just me again, in the mirror, damaged myself
I'm tryin' not to miss the mark, so, I examine myself
I need your help
[Outro: Brandon Trejo]
Before I step on stage, lead me your way
And, any mistakes, I had made before
Remove out anything, that's not of you, in me, before I get a platform
Before I step on stage, lead me your way
And, any mistakes, I had made before
Remove out anything, that's not of you, in me, before I get the platform
Who do you do it for?
The hype, the crowd, the back end
Who do you do it for?
'Cuz, all that bread just madness
Self-examination
Please take our hearts, Lord, and where e're I fall
Self-examination
If you ain't innocent, and becomes the night, oh
