Restored

It's like

It's like the Devil tryna scare you

But then the angels come in, and the angels

They let you know who's in charge

(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

I tried living apart from God

At times I was feeling so far from God

My faith in His 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 Devil had lied to me

Like, hold up, God got you? He 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 playin' 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 doin' for ya

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 fake faith, you're starting to race bait

Can't even take dates, you hoping to save faith

Tryna to go mainstream in order to reach folk

Ain't nobody rockin' 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 (Now)

Demons got me trippin', tryna kill me now (Now)

Sittin' tryna figure who can help me 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 for me

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

But I ain't worried 'cause I know He restoring me (Ayy)

I done suffered 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 or lost my track

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

Everything different when I hit the glass

Looked at the 'Gram more then I looked 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 doubted my life had a story

My testimony, yeah, "E.T. phone home" me

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 (Ayy)

I put my heart in the offering (Yeah)

And the whole church say, "Amen"

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 deception

But haven't you noticed when we at our lowest

That's when I pray your life be havin' some focus? Ooh

When I'm winnin', am I choosin' You?

If you missin', everyone'll lose

Here lies the body of someone who bodied the verses

Reversing the generation of the curses (Ayy)

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

Took my passion, put it in a hearse

At my moments when I feel my worst

I know God restoring, though it hurts

Oh, can't reverse, no (Ayy)

An alert soul, let the church go

(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh..

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, yeah (Lord, I really want one)

And I met me some hellcats that be talkin' so bad on they partner (They hate)

Never met 'em, but say they my partner (My partner)

With the real ones, ain't none of them problems (Oh, no)

So I left all that 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 'em a violin (Why you cryin'?)

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 stand)

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

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

From the street with a passion

Maybe that's why they won't let me in Passion

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

Had a winnin' season for a certain reason

So I signed to Reach and then I started speakin'

'Til the realest people got behind me (The realest)

Fightin' demons for the real meaning

Got the teriyaki and the Polynesian

This is my city, better sign in

Got a gang of souls who wanna chime in (1K)

Never scared, but we God-fearin'

They can't tell us nothin', boy, we God's children (God's children)

Honda Civic, I know God's steerin'

In a Lamborghini, I know God's steerin', yeah, yeah, yeah (If so)

Then He pioneerin', yeah, yeah, yeah (If so)

And we feel merry, yeah, yeah, yeah (Ayy)

Get a load of me, yeah, yeah (Get a load)

Just talked to 'Crae, he said, "Hold on, 'cause the top finally here" ('Crae)

I told him, "Good, 'cause I ain't goin' back to flyin' no Frontier"

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

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

We're all on the journey of being 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 we wanna sit rusted?

Or do we wanna join in on this process of being restored?
