Restored

It′s like

It's like the Devil tryna scare you

And then the angels come in and the angelsThey let you know Who′s in charge

I tried living apart from God

At times I was feeling so far from God

My faith in these people done left me scarred

The hatred and hurt was so bizarre

I thought that they would always ride for me

I cried, but nobody replied to me

I questioned the truth inside of me

And right about then, is when the Dеvil had lied to me

Like, "Hold up, God got you, Hе don't ever show up

All His people acting like they know you

Tell you that you do it for the money, fame, power, tryna blow up

Why you playing games? Time to grow up

You've been reading Bibles and leading studies and helping your little buddies

But tell me what it′s really doing for you

They gon′ still tell you're fake and phony, assuming your every motive, so what′s the point of tryna keep it loyal?

Said you had faith faith, you're starting to race bait

Can′t even take dates, you hoping to save faith

Trying to go mainstream in order to reach folk

Ain't nobody rocking with you, especially these folks

I lost it, while I′m drinking liquor in my closet

I used to pray in here, but now I'm saucy

I'm losing money, I′m a lost prophet

I′m making bad decisions, every time I get exhausted

Lord, I don't even really know the real me now

Demons got me tripping, tryna kill me now

Satan tryna figure who can help get delivered

Send an angel in a Uber, come and heal me now

Evil, you ain′t got no control of me

I'm never too far from the blood that flow from me

I lost a lot, but got too much to gain, I′ll prolly never be the same

And I ain't worried, ′cause I know He restoring me

Ayy, had to suffer through the storm, no cap

Uh, yeah, I signed a deal, but I ain't really gettin' racks

Could′ve fell up in the pit, huh, lost my track

Uh, switch up the flow like He switched up my past

Everything different when I hit the glass

Looked at the ′Gram more then I look to fast

Stuck in my head, I don't know where I′m at

All of that fame don't last

Can You restore me?

You gotta quote this, recording

I never thought that my life had a story

My testimony a ET for homie

I see new dimensions like I′m Rick and Morty

Uh, no pun intended, He callin'

I ain′t lookin' back, I'm all in

I put my heart in the offering

And the whole church say, "Amen"

Ayy, yeah

Been at the bottom, but God told me flip my perspective

It′s all in perception

′Cause every time that I feel low, He gon' step in (Yeah)

Make sure when you runnin′ you got some direction

The Devil, he plottin', I see the the deception

But haven′t you noticed when we at our lowest that's when our prayer life be havin′ some focus? Ooh

When I'm winnin' am I choosin′ you?

If you missin′ every winner lose

Here lies the body, it's someone who bodied the verses

Reversing the generation of the curses

′Cause G-O-D is the One we puttin' first

Took my flesh and put it in a hearse

At my moment′s when I feel my worst

I know, God restoring though it hurts oh

Can't reverse, no

An alert soul

Let the church go

Mmm, yeah

I′ve been up five days 'cause I'm tired of strugglin′ on Fridays, yeah (Tired)

Lord, I want me a Hellcat, but You know I might speed on the highway (Lord, I really want one)

And I met me some hellcats that be talkin′ so bad on they potluck

Never met a Mercedes my partner

With the real ones, ain't none of them pro′lems (Oh, no)

So I look for they cap at the altar

Got to make it back home to my daughters, yeah

I'm so sick of these cryin′ men

They just want me to play, I'm in bondage

That′s why I never said nothin' when they tried to come for us on top ten, yeah

Now they say that I'm top ten (Huh?)

They must not know I′m top five (Let′s go)

In the gym I hang on the rim (I hang)

Otto Rocket, stop playing with him (Stop playing)

Nah, for real, I'm standing beside that

I′m so real, so sorry, can't hide that (I can′t)

How come you just don't tell us what happened? (What happened)

From the street with a passion

Maybe this money won′t let me in passio

But I thought it would change with a record deal and when I start believin'

Had to win the season for a certain reason

So I signed to Reach and then I started speakin' to the realest people, got behind me

We really fightin′ demons for the real meaning

Got a teriyaki and I′m Polynesian

It's in my city, better sign in

Got a gang of songs I wanna chime in (1K forever)

Never scary, but we God-fearin′

They can't tell us now, but we God-cheerin′

Honda Civic, I know God's steerin′

In the Lamborghini, I know God's steerin', yeah, yeah

That He pioneered, yeah, yeah

That we [?], yeah, yeah, yeah

Get a load of me, yeah, yeah

Just talked to ′Crae, he said, "Hold on, got a top-five in here"

I told him, "Good, ′cause I ain't goin′ back to flyin' over frontier"

Hundred percent to below zero, world givin′ me chills, oh

Had to go back and restore my whole life, folks ain't real, oh, ayy

We′re all on the journey of bein' restored and that's the choice that we make

Do you want that process, do you wanna engage or do you wanna sit in, you know, in dysfunction? You know what I′m sayin′?

Do you wanna sit rusted or do we wanna join in on this process of bein' restored?
