On the Line by K-WAK Lyrics
[Verse 1: (K-WAK)]
It's hard work, in this day and age
Giving everything you love, in the name of faith
I praise for God for His endless grace
Or else I would've ended up in a whole different place (dang)
I still remember doing high school
Wondering what I might do
Parents on my back telling me they would like to
See me doing full-time work
Because "rapping is a hobby" just a thing I'd learnt
It's not a real job, you gotta get your degree
And be the very best doctor, you ever could be
But tell me, what if your words just severed a dream
And that dude gave his heart, just to get up and leave
But you on a different level to me
I already gave it all, so generously
I put it all on the line, yeah you better believe
We fear less - cause that's what we endeavor to be
[Chorus: K-WAK]
It's do or die
So I gotta put it it all on the line
And I'm gon' ride with my God
Over anything you tryna supply to me
I gotta do this right
So I'm... gonna put it all on the line
And I ain't holdin' back nothin'
Nothin'
Nothin'
[Verse 2: K-WAK]
Tell me, how is somebody meant to make it
When I got less support than Schapelle Corby cases
I feel like I'm doing it alone, nobody's even listening
You say that you spittin' to these kids, like a christening
But I don't see nothin', there's no fan base
Feel like all my past years, were only man-made
I'm puttin' all these hours into something you don't even notice
Wait that's your mind speaking Michael, focus
I'm trying but it's hard though
Welcome to my life, it's kinda hard bro
I'm reminiscing on these past shows I did, and I wanna go back
I'm meant to be a K-WAK, but I can't even show that? (hmm)
How does that work? Am I a hypocrite?
Is this a punishment, you tryna make me slip a bit?
Because I've fallen, on my hands and my knees
And I'm praying God, have mercy on me, please
[Final Chorus]
"Dear God - it's crazy how far we've come right?"
"I started off makin' beats and check me out now, huh"
"But I been doing this thing in my own strength, for way too long"
"So I'm puttin' everything on the line
"My music, my career, my ambitions, my future, my life - all of it"
"I can't be doing 50 anymore, I gotta give it 100"
"It's time to give back, what was rightfully yours"
"So Lord, use these hands to make a difference make an impact
"Start a movement"
"Cause I know my life was made for so much more"
"In Jesus Name I pray"
"Amen"
