lyrics

Started in my early teens it was
hustle hard and chasing green
Mama told me to never steal had
To go get it by any means
I had hoop dreams rap dreams
On that karaoke all
night when I was 15
I wanna show the world the
Struggles that I’ve seen
And how the Words from my
Savior gave me visine
I’ve been dreaming for a long time
Champion in my own mind
All from His grace mayne
No major label or co-sign
My team we so underrated
Always been underdogs
Trying to stay low and see
The Son we something like
Some groundhogs
And we love the Gospel
Cause He’s so Heaven sent
Took me out the slums
Now I’m a testament
And I’m dreaming dreaming
Everyday I’m dreaming
Crutched up on that Truth mayne
Everyday I’m leaning
And I’mma die one day
But before I’m gone
I wanna train my babies
On how to make it home
I wanna rock these shows
And giveaway my art
And giveaway my songs
Cause they from my heart
Lord knows I was sent to men
To inspire dreams
from my pad and pen

(chorus)
Draw nigh to God
He wants you to come home
He’ll never leave you alone
There’s still room at His throne
For you for you for you
So draw nigh to God God God
(repeat)

it all started with a dream and a pen
but I had my doubts could I
ever overcome these trends
gotta lose myself if I ever really
want to win
Acting like its all good
But I was a thespian
Still caught up in the praise of men
But He gave me a dream
Martin Luther live for the King
No not Koopa
We talking bout Christ
Yeah He’s ruler
Immanuel yeah He’s ruler
And He died upon that Cross
Upon that tree
Once blind but now I see
A lot of pain and a lot of hate
And a lot of stress that was
Stopping me
But I fight through it all
Even when live gets hard
Then I ask myself
Do I really trust in God
With all my heart with all my mind
With all my soul with all I got
I sacrificed my old
Life for Him now He’s all I got
Shaped by His testaments
Every word old and new
If I could take my heart out and
Show the world what we been through
I bleed red I see red I work to lead
Like He led I’m cut from a different
Cloth I’m covered up in the
King’s threads

(chorus)

see I live for the Name
everything I do yeah I do for the Name
Gotta lose myself cause I be attracted to fame
And I be getting caught up
In what I can gain
At times I’m selfish mayne
But I keep that Word off in my deck
Truth off in my pocket
Forget about that money
This ain’t bout my wallet
I’m working on my legacy
Something bigger something brighter
Great servant great leader
Great father greater writer
Can I inspire your dreams
Inspire your dreams
Dig in the scriptures and
By any means
Work hard for the King
Press on we hardknocks
No time to waste mayne
I’m going in till my heart stops
Said I’m going in till my heart stops
Going in till my heart stops
Never let the world
Tell you what you are not
We are the Red Ink
We are what Christ said
Renegade to the world
Worship God till I’m dead

(chorus)
