Jacob James - Guard Ya Heart

Protect your neck and guard Ya heart
They been waiting for the drop
They been waiting just to cop

Yeah yeah yeah

I've been working nonstop
Til the day that I drop
I will never ever stop

Nah nah nah

Never ran away from the cops
Never got in with the ops
I just had to stay street smart

Aye

I've been working on my art
God be working on my heart
Even tho times is hard

Yeah

Took a little break but I'm back now
Still a man of my faith, won't back down
Had to search for my soul like a pat down
Everybody saying I'm the man now

Oh you the man now? Stand down child
I'm a genius and I've been around
Indigenous and I'm home bound
Finna give back to my town

Not stimulus, no money
But the thing that make you study

What you wanna do in life
And actually do it and apply it
Really live your dreams
Don't ever be compliant

Don't confine to the lines
Unless you driving behind the wheel
Of an automobile
You were made to be real

Sometimes I don't stand
I get scared and then I kneel

But really I am weak
I'm a man
I got problems, understand
I am limited

Never going to be perfect, or immaculate
If I was then I wouldn't need the man
Hailing all the way from Nazareth

I ain't perfect, just because I got a beautiful surface
It would be a disservice
If I didn't know my worth and
Didn't have a love that was certain

I've been searching for that hope
But it was always in my scope
I just had to grab ahold
See Hope has a rope

I once heard that in a quote
From a colleague, from a bro
He's watched me grow
Shout out to Ty tho

Protect ya neck and guard ya heart
They been waiting for the drop
They been waiting just to cop

Yeah yeah yeah

I've been working nonstop
Til the day that I drop
I will never ever stop

Nah nah nah

Never ran away from the cops
Never got in with the ops
I just had to stay street smart

Aye

I've been working on my art
God be working on my heart
Even tho times is hard

Attraction plus attention equals Interaction
Which could lead us to subtraction
So remember think before you do the action
You can forfeit a whole Kingdom just by peeking

Look at David on his roof creeping
Secrets he was keepin'
Destruction, he was reapin'
Comfort he was seekin'

He watched Bathsheba bathe
When he knew she had a bae
He crossed the line on that day
The plans starting running through his brain

But they wouldn't be a repellant
Because he would get her pregnant
While Uriah was not present
David thought that he would become a remnant and die

But God brought it all to the light
David killed her husband in cold blood with the sword
When he should've been fighting at his side in the war
See

We can be distant and inconsistent
God can love us and trust us and forgive us
But He'll never dismiss us

Like David
He'll grow us and show us
That He knows us
Yeah

Our bodies are temples
So we should treat em real special
And no we never should settle
I would rather be careful

I wouldn't want to live my whole life
Being regretful

That's why I guard my heart
Stay alert, take captive every thought
I'm not perfect at it
I had to work at it

My past I just smirk at it
I was no realer than plastic

An insecure kid, living in sin
Not caring who I was with
I'm glad I didn't give in
But I chose to repent

Protect ya neck and guard ya heart
They been waiting for the drop
They been waiting just to cop

Yeah yeah yeah

I've been working nonstop
Til the day that I drop
I will never ever stop

Nah nah nah

Never ran away from the cops
Never got in with the ops
I just had to stay street smart

Aye

I've been working on my art
God be working on my heart
Even tho times is hard
