New Typa Money - Standing on a Promise

Gimmy the kick hi-hat and the snare
Let me put you up on something that is certainly rare
Beatboxing on the microphone like Doug E in here
Slick telling stories like Rick, Eric B., and Rakim
They say rappers sounding the same and me they try to compare
But when you're staying true to you it's hard to notice or care
And when the Lord elevates you this high up in the air
It's hard to hear all the commotion cause ya focus ain't there
And I know a lot of the talk is cause the coat that I wear
It has so many different colors it provokes'em to stare
I had a couple jealous brother' that was envy and yeah
I never thought I'd be in a pit but yet they threw me in there
Never envisioned this vision I had would put me through jail
On my way to my destiny I literally went through hell
While I was down at the bottom heard a voice of a male
And it told me to just trust in it and I would prevail
But even after that it got tough and after that it got rough
And after that it got better and after then I was like what in the Heaven
See you thought that I was gone curse
And I actually wanted to while I was going through all this stuff
I'm supposed to be a changed man why I'm still dealing with this lust
And all this stuff I'm going through I didn't know it was going to be this much
I didn't know it was gone cost this much they told me salvation was free
Nobody mentioned a fee the cost is I'm battling me
The enemy rattling me and people keep challenging me
I look in the mirror check my reflection and happen to see
A person that happens to be living and actually free
Looking at a person that I never imagined to be
How did this happen to me I had imagined to be
Dead and gone a long time ago but you actually seen
Something on the inside of me I couldn't fathom to see
Such a reckless driver till I got in the passenger seat
Now I just fasten my seat belt as I gradually see
The Lord is my Shepherd but he want me to shepherd his sheep
Hold up wait you got the wrong guy Lord I'm comfortable see
Being an evangelist but a pastor I don't wanna be
I spit the Gospel on beats my congregation the streets
I make a lotta mistake Lord pick anybody but me
Man I could never be what these people expect me to be
And if I'm living for you why they won't accept me for me
Man okay okay you got me
Who am I not to trust you when you know more than me about me
And it ain't really that I don't trust you but the thang is I doubt me
And when I get off track Lord I need you to reroute me
Cause you know how it is when you dealing with yo people
Moses did his job but didn't get a chance to see the
Land that was promised and he was leading the people
Dang that's crazy when you think about it huh
So I'm depending on you just to help me
And before I fall down would you catch me
A put a hedge around my body Lord protect me
Don't let these voices of the enemy affect me
And I can't take none of the glory cause you bless me
And imma keep telling my story how you kept me
I know I can't do nothing unless you let me
So I just wanna stand on the promises that you left me Word
