Kept it G(od)

lyrics

[Chorus]
Teach us to love
Because we're searching for the sun
You are the Reason
Though our world has come undone
Don't hide away
You are the Reason we are here
We need you with us
And to guide us again
With our fear
You are the Reason (3x)

[Verse 1]
I'll say it right now, this is not religion
You may be sharp but the point you may miss it
Whether you rocking the Bible, Sutras or the Qur'an
You can't judge my cover when I shake your hand
Don't get twisted, who cares if you ain't straight
People remember you, even if they hate
It's the loser's way of being afraid
They wouldn't bother if they were actually getting laid
Man I give wisdom, I should take my own advice
Because I'm going slow, tryna get that fast life
I can take everything you dish me and add rice
I never question it, you don't have to ask twice
I'm chilling with Jesus, Buddha and Allah
And they're cool with me loving the mighty dollah
People only love us when we are leaving
But we stay because you're the reason we will

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
I hated hypocrites but I was a hypocrite
Nobody likes anybody who throws fits so quick
Life is Russian roulette with a full clip of six
We can take it but will you face it? Be quick to pick
I almost laughed when Mom gave me rapping tips
They always support me pursuing my happiness
I won't stop working, not until I earned it
Finally heard my calling, I'm here to return it
Dad's the man, keeping me real in life
I still call for you to deal with life
Hope you two stay together for better and for worse
God's got us forever, and I ain't talking bout Church
So please forgive me when I say I play the game
I have to be fair if Imma change the game
I'm always me even if I don't remain the same
You need only to say my name: Wade!

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Looking through the eyes of Love
You know the world may seem a better place
and yet, the moment that you realize
there's so much pain before your very eyes

[Verse 3]
Kings don't cry but I cried for my dog
I'm ignoring the fact I may lose my mom
It's never to late to change the road you're own
We're all walking on the stairway of heaven to see God
I don't give a damn, but I do care
Mom when I make it, will you be there?
I love you all, even till death do us part
I know I'm here to touch your hearts

[Chorus]
