aegi2lit - Up Next Lyrics

Time to close this door, 'cause I'm done with it
Turn around, pick it up, and I run with it
Don't mind me - I'ma just do what I came to do - have a lil extra fun with it
The way the beat got me feeling energized, you would think it came from God - that's that Heavenly sustenance
Fill my cup, let it overflow with mercy from the ocean of His grace, and you know we boutta jump in it

Yeah, I gotta go feed my faith
Gotta read that page I've been putting off for weeks now
Got lost in the sauce, can't fake
Now I'm sick of all the hate I've been trying hard to keep out
Used to be so focused on the dream route
Til I heard God call me to the greenhouse
Told me, "Settle down - I'ma make it better now"
So I had to let go, let God - hear me out

My journey been a heck of a ride
Started off real strong with production of "RISE"
My eyes been focused with the vision in sight
Can't lie, doing better than I thought I would by
A wide margin
Father got me sat in the garden
Boutta send it up, travel faster than Harden
Angels up in Heaven, yeah, I know they be mobbing
Heads spin 'round, and I'm leaving 'em bobbing

What's next, what's next for me now?
Can't stop, I can't turn it back down
My mind has been racing, feet have been pacing, I might have to turn it back 'round
Get ahead of what I'm thinking about
Til I'm dead, I'll be grinding my sound
'Cause the day that I drop is the day that I flop
Until then, I'ma send it up proud!

Woo!
Faced my fears, and now we in it
We started up, and now we finished
Just like I've said from the beginning
With Jesus, all we are is winning
We winning this war we waged with sin
Had to break free from the cage I was in
Said to let me cook, time to pull the pin
This here my time, can't let it slip
Doubt been knocking, but, no, I don't wanna hear it
Had me changing up the game, so I cleared it
Ain't no pumping my brakes, I'll be pushing my faith
Got a future, and I don't gotta fear it

Uh, yeah, them people got to talking
"Christian rap? That don't sound like you at all, man!"
My bad - it's the only other option
What do you think - I would doubt the voice of God, man?
Been spitting, but I had to swallow my pride
Not a double entendre; that's a fly-by
I don't make those jokes - they not my type
If I'm getting graphic, I apologize for my vice

I'll get some hate for this
But man, it makes me sick
Rapping for hours, man
This choppy flow ain't it
They want me in my bag
I don't know where it is
They want my style of rap
I'm just a Christian kid

Yeah, hold up, wait a minute, let's see
Do I take a quick break from the beats?
Do I let the other rappers get to preach?
Do I finally get a second just to breathe?
Or do I push my voice a little more?
Let 'em know what I'm keeping in store?
Never mind, I'ma finish up before I get to thinking 'bout these things and my mind is on the floor like ugh!

You can't keep me from my destiny!
If Satan tries it, then I'm free to swing!
Put him on trial, can't appeal to me
'Cause I been walking with my Father, free!
I been in it long enough to keep it going longer
Longer that I take, it'll only make me stronger
Doesn't matter if they gonna make it any harder
Father, I know that You with me in the fire
Iron heated in a forge, tongue sharper
Than any other blade in the world on the roster
Giving up on me? You can bet that it'll cost ya
Lost you? Better get to running back to God, bruh

It's time for a whole new chapter in this book of life He's writing
With lots of twists and turns and characters - guess no more hiding
They wanted something real and raw, so that's what I provided
But I've got better things in store - just wait, I'm sure you'll like it
