Yanagi - Father, We Need You (feat. T O M I)

Hey Jack, Jack!
You listening to me?
What, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
The Word of God says that
Seek first the kingdom of God and its righteousness
And then every other thing is added unto you
Listen, you can't run life bro
You can't run life without God, you get lost
So all these things you're looking for, you gotta seek God first
Father, we need you
We lost without you
Won't you fill me up
Father, fill the cup of my soul now
Abba, I need you
Been off without you
Won't you fill me up
Cuz I can't build enough on my own now
Father, we need you
We lost without you
Won't you fill me up
Father, fill the cup of my soul now
Abba, I need you
Been off without you
Won't you fill me up
Cuz I can't build enough on my own now
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil
Look I been thinking, analyzing the world
Now it seems our queens even feel their feelings gotta be burrowed
It's lil' girls and boys, they even in the burbs flipping like coins
Smoking poison tryna keep their poise
And it's wars in the middle east
Not to mention civil wars in the streets
Fox never covers that, weird right?
It's real life in the land of the free
And we abandon them and treat 'em like they bandits and thieves
It's understandable, we far from the Son like Jupiter
Spitting out the prophecies of Lucifer
They take away your humanness, they giving everyone a diagnosis
And if you believe it it'll ruin ya
So I just try to focus, even when it feels like I am hopeless
Diving in the Word, knowing someone higher wrote this
I know my emotions, they could lie
So I don't look for answers I just look for your reply, yelling
Father, we need you
We lost without you
Won't you fill me up
Father, fill the cup of my soul now
Abba, I need you
Been off without you
Won't you fill me up
Cuz I can't build enough on my own now
Father, we need you
We lost without you
Won't you fill me up
Father, fill the cup of my soul now
Abba, I need you
Been off without you
Won't you fill me up
Cuz I can't build enough on my own now
So if it says, "seek first the kingdom of heaven and its righteousness"
It means seek the kingdom of heaven, and the life of Christ
Only in that can you have peace
Only in that can you have security in your life
So this has to be a relentless pursuit
This has to be the posture of your heart when you wake up
Every day
Alright, I got it look
I be still and just remember you God (Be still)
I look up for confirmation you nod
You always there to respond
Cuz I was lost
The world tried to label me criminal
Tried to label me failure
But you said they was wrong
Even when I was so angry I would curse at my mom
And I was rolling up the sour, tryna patch up my arms
Had my wrists bleeding
I was selling drugs
Running from the cops
Even dropped up outta college by the third weekend
I was dirt poor
I was living out my civic
Every time the weed hit me
I would hurt more
But you still saw, everything I couldn't see
Cuz you knew the me that I couldn't be
Anyway one night I'm drunk driving
Someone else car trunk lower than my eyelids
Whyling, see the blue lights and the sirens
Next thing I know police at the door asking where I been
Wasn't even carrying I license
Had to start lying
"I was at my friend Kenny crib, but this ride isn't mine though
Its his, in the backseat
He ain't drunk or nothing that's his girlfriend beside him"
Crazy thing about it, it was Thanksgiving Eve
"You don't have no ID? Write your name on the sheet"
I thought about the weed, in the seat
And my BAC
We were five deep, squeezed inna hooptie
I was kicked out my momma crib
And the same day, I had split up with my girl, I ain't had nowhere to be
I thought about spending Thanksgiving in a cell, I aint no one to call
"God please"
See the cop walking back, looking mad aggressive
Looking at possession, DUI, and a sentence
Weed smell, probable cause, to pull me out
Once I'm out, I'll be be walking the line
And then forget it
I'm shivering, lip quivering
Never felt so alone
But this wasn't no time to be whimpering
Had to face it all like a man
This is what I was, just a criminal, nobody understands
Your license checks out, have a good night
You kids get home safe
