Saba and No I.D. - How To Impress God

I had a year full of tour dates, last I checked
I said I'd never go and change then got dressed
It felt like I heard God say, "I'm not impressed"
Had opps for press, but I'm not impressed
She said, "I love you anyway, from our mess"
I'm trying to think of shit to say, so I'd match
Instead, I heard God say, "I'm not impressed"
Yeah

I'm not impressed by your jewels, your cars, your clothes
Of course, I know what it took you to get it
I'm not impressed by Pivot or that you independent
I'm not impressed, time invested in any women
I'm not impressed your family feel you really did it
I'm not impressed you streamed over two hundred million
I'm not impressed, bought a crib, put your people in it
I'm not impressed the years that you've been getting bigger
I'm not impressed that you've inspired millions of people that needed you
Or so you believe they do
They gave you a reason to
Live and make it easy to
Propelled you from poverty
Practically a vehicle
Packing out arenas will
Not impress me either, who
Do you try to pretend to be?
Don't you know I'm seeing you?
Don't you know I gave you keys before you had a piano?
Don't you know you're enough?

I had a year full of tour dates, last I checked
I said I'd never go and change then got dressed
It felt like I heard God say, "I'm not impressed"
Had opps for press, but I'm not impressed
She said, "I love you anyway, from our mess"
I'm trying to think of shit to say, so I'd match
Instead, I heard

Enough of what I'm not, let's talk of what I am
I am the light and the guide to the game
Since you was on Austin, I'd intervene
At times, the paths divine, no two the same
I am a mathematician, you see
They want me to show my face, but it isn't to see
I'm in you, you see
All of your decisions, you reap
The Reaper really not grim, that's a different thing
I listen to you, make sure that you listen to me
The life that you wanted real, it isn't a dream
I sent obstacles on your way to make sure this what you mean
Some of them was bigger than beasts, you feared 'em the least
I even sent someone to pretend they didn't believe
I sent people to complicate all the simplest things
The fact that you showed up here is not a surprise
But, Saba, you showed love and that's all I require

I had a year full of tour dates, last I checked
I said I'd never go and change then got dressed
It felt like I heard God say, "I'm not impressed"
Had opps for press, but I'm not impressed
She said, "I love you anyway, from our mess"
I'm trying to think of shit to say, so I'd match
Instead, I heard

Instead, I heard
