Ready to Live by Jahaziel Lyrics
[Chorus]
I wanna
Build my life around (x2)
Build my life around You
[Verse 1]
Please let's get it straight
Me I rep for heaven's gates
Lifted from that heavy weight
Ever since I told the devil skate
Better get out of here
I told him loud and clear
Cause I got some boldness now
I'm no longer bound in fear
I got confidence yes
Cause my conscience is blessed
Constantly rest in the God
Whose famous for conquering death
Gave me life in abundance
Made me rise from the dungeons
Then ignite like bunsens
Whenever this mic's in my circumference
See I've been reborn
Feels like I've been rebuilt
Like I've been transformed
Since the truth has been revealed
Still
Get close and personal
And you certainly won't be
The first to notice I ain't perfect (nope)
I'm perfectly hopeless
But this journey's a process
And the word that I profess
Says I'm certain to possess all
I'm His work in progress
Ain't no question the kid might slip
But He's graciously building me
Day by day
Brick by brick
[Verse 2]
You determine all of my do's and my don'ts
You decide all my rights my wrongs
My will's and my won'ts
I'm saying
If it ain't Your will then I won't
Cause I ain't standing on sand
The solid Rock's
Where I'm building my hope
I know the Lord
He promised
And He assured me that He'll
Always support me
According to His
Riches and glory
Surely
Goodness and mercy
Shall follow the kid
I've been forgiven
And delivered
From the wrongs that I did
So if you see me spitting
With a little bling on my neck shine
In tech time
You know I ain't sinning to get mine
I'm praying for the poor
But I'm hoping for wealth
Cause how you gon' help the poor
When you broke yourself
I know that some of God's people
Might be suffering here
But there'll be no more tears
When we meet Him up in the air
He said your mansion
Is what He's going up to prepare
So if He said it
Live with it
You got nothing to fear
[Verse 3]
Through the pressure to hustle
Through the stress and the struggle
God's gonna use these obstacles
To strengthen your muscles
When you tempted and troubled
Let the devil be puzzled
Cause you got your eyes
On the Prize
At the end of the tunnel
No fear
We gon' shine it out
Oh yea
That's what I'm about
Until my time is out
I'm prepared
To rhyme without
A care in this world
Oh yea
I care for this world
But I'm careful
Not to be caught up in the cares of this world
I don't hang on the past
This my time to advance
I got me a brand new chance
Plus I got a
Brand
New
Dance
Making brand new tracks
Call me Santa on wax
Cause I bless you with presents
When you unravel my raps
Matter of fact
All my raps is His
See there's a message in the flow
If you catch the drift
And it's this
Whether or not
You got whips and cribs
You still got a lot
Long as you got the gift to live
I wanna
Build my life around (x2)
Build my life around You
[Verse 1]
Please let's get it straight
Me I rep for heaven's gates
Lifted from that heavy weight
Ever since I told the devil skate
Better get out of here
