Jacob Beard - I Don't Do It For Me

Truth is I ain't ready for it
Truth is that I can't ignore it
(Yea)
Truth is really the fame used to pull me toward it
Heard my name I thought it'd pull me forward
Stay in the game and get induct to hall of fame
I thought it'd pull me forward
I thought wrong, listen
Message been the same
But now I flaunt what I was gifted
It ain't always been this way I drifted
Back when I was writing catch me
Things was feeling different
Wishing things could be the same
Stopped to see the sights and saw the game was flawed
Took a loss
But I gained some knowledge sound like Eve a lot
(Man)
Sound like evil haunts the vision I cant keep em off
By myself
He tore that creature off
I keep them verses in my speaker box
Saw the homies getting saved when I was telling stories
That's when I realized I don't do it for me
That's when I realized I don't do it for me
That's when I realized I don't do it for me
That's when I realized I don't do it for me
That's when I realized time is ticking, time to get to work
Glad He saw the vision first
Feel I'm on a race against time but I ain't reaching first
Sure ain't reaching last
Narrow path before I reach the hearse
Remember when they used to laugh
But now I reach them first
Remember times we had on mask
But now I see who hurting
I see the world and know one things for certain
We all looking for that thing in life to make sense of our dreams and why celebrities
And why people are killing in them streets
My God its time to heal up
Took a step back to rewind the film up
I got a past, I got a lot to heal from
(Yea)
I had a change of heart, but that don't mean I'm perfect
I'm forgiven by His grace the real one
(Yea)
I graduated from wanting the fame
To want to explain why I ain't living in vain
That's a fact and I
Saw the homies getting saved when I was telling stories
That's when I realized I don't do it for me
That's when I realized
That's when I realized I don't do it for me
For me
For me
For me
For me
For me
For me
For me
