Lyrics:
Hook
Long as there’s breath in my body, winning souls is my hobby/I’m walking by faith cause I know God got me/I’m thankful to the Lord, I won’t let the devil rob me/So when life gets me down, I gotta do what God taught me
I’m getting up (8x)
Verse 1
It’s been a year since my Dad died/Still fresh, can’t lie, as I analyze, Mother’s Day, Still feeling them bad vibes/Mama called, said “Come Quick”., Dad waiting on standby/He bout to fly home, heart rate dropping, yet our prayers were Anti, I don’t understand why, God, were your hands tied?/Yes your ways are sovereign, so that lie, I can’t buy/But it seems like since then, my life has went down this landslide, The struggle has increased tremendously, and I/Don’t see no hope, I feel like everything I do fails/Making beats that people like yet I ain’t making no new sales/My flesh had me feeling betrayed by those I thought I knew well/Felt like my Father turned me away like Abraham did Ishmael/Yet I can’t help but think of everyone who has it worse/People over in Burundi dying of thirst/Keep my head to the hills no matter how much it hurts/I got a job I have to do until He puts me in the dirt
Hook
Long as there’s breath in my body, winning souls is my hobby/I’m walking by faith cause I know God got me/I’m thankful to the Lord, I won’t let the devil rob me/So when life gets me down, I gotta do what God taught me
I’m getting up (8x)
Verse 2
I was paralyzed by fear, been struggling all year, tryna (trying to) make a dollar, nobody holla, I’m in my Camry shedding tears/I’m in the whip, feeling whipped, think I might just call it quits/Why are we so broke if many say that I have a gift?/Maybe since I’m older, maybe it’s all over/Box it up for sale, all of my keyboards and midi controllers/Cause we need cash, need it fast, or else feel the aftermath/Lose everything we have, don’t wanna go down that path/Despite how hard we tried, we still didn’t make it/My energy is zapped, my heart can’t take it/It’s so embarrassing in public, to be this naked/But I have to b/c even Christian rappers fake it/Still I don’t have it bad when I think of others/I think about my Mother, man she lost her lover/I should be thankful for my life, just lost my grandmother/We running out of time, I can’t prolong it for another, day
Hook
Long as there’s breath in my body, winning souls is my hobby/I’m walking by faith cause I know God got me/I’m thankful to the Lord, I won’t let the devil rob me/So when life gets me down, I gotta do what God taught me
I’m getting up (8x)
Verse 3
My issues make me tired/I don’t feel like answering the phone, I’m not inspired/God telling me to get up, preach to the choir/Many of them are gonna burn in the lake of fire/Gotta ignore the distractions/They tryna (trying to) weigh me down so I won’t take action/But I need to make it happen/I have to preach the Gospel way beyond rapping/Sand is dropping down the hole/Gotta get control, they’re losing their souls/So the center of my life can’t be this hole in my pocket/If I don’t feel power, I must plug in the socket/Can’t let this world drain me/The world shouldn’t ever be able to explain me/I must condition myself/To be dictated by the scriptures and not by wealth
Hook
Long as there’s breath in my body, winning souls is my hobby/I’m walking by faith cause I know God got me/I’m thankful to the Lord, I won’t let the devil rob me/So when life gets me down, I gotta do what God taught me
I’m getting up (8x)
