Good Measure by NFTRY Lyrics
[Verse 1: Jeremiah Bligen]
Went from walking bikes carrying on chrome pegs to
Barely walking, doing talking through these Chrome pages
Look, the more things change, the more they stay the same
Physical and spiritual closeness has never been the same
Had a couple people around me that ain't care for me
Everybody is not your friend, move carefully
No matter the times, if it's real, then it's real
Ain't seen each other in a while but when we do, know the deal
Wanted them Lamborghini doors with the chains glistening
Now I can't stomach the thought of all that wasteful spending
Is wasteful's definition really fluid and contingent
Ten million's just a penny when you banking billions
I learned that context and wisdom are keys to faithful living
Striving to manage my ends, have a fruitful beginning
For my family, my children, not be slaves to my sinning, yeah it's sinning
I still believe in right from wrong, you dig it? Salute
[Hook: Jeremiah Bligen]
Wherever I go, remember how low
And far I came, though
It ain't perfect, I know (press down now)
Discerning what is wrong (that's a good measure)
(Shake it up now)
With strength to overcome (that's a good measure)
(Turn it up now)
Smiling [?] (that's a good measure)
(That's a good measure)
Knowing whose and who I am (that's a good measure)
(That's a good measure)
[Verse 2: Jeremiah Bligen]
And that goodness lead me straight to repentance
All the works of His hand, I pray it stick to remembrance
And it's terror, too, may I always approach Him in reverence
When life is terrible, that's ripping a poster of Dennis
In 9-7, was a snot nose, He ain't spare the rod, man
Spurred me on through pain, Isaiah fulfilled, we all fam
All my sin the lamb beared brought me in through big faith
Married to it, that's why I'm covered in red hair
Judge and condemn not and forgive plenty
He stands against the accuser, tells us to cease sinning
And calling sin a sin ain't a sin but the truth is love
Not going with whatever to make us feel good is tough
At first it feels like a bomb, then it turns into balm
Correction is grace and gold, man, it works like a charm
Though they lie and they curse me, I got mercy, I give mercy
I gave mercy, I'll be given mercy, merci
[Hook: Jeremiah Bligen]

It ain't perfect, I know (press down now)
Discerning what is wrong (that's a good measure)

(Turn it up now)
[?] (that's a good measure)
(That's a good measure)
Knowing whose and who I am (that's a good measure)
(That's a good measure)
[Verse 3: Jeremiah Bligen]
So nah, I don't apologize for what I write and spit black
Everybody's preaching, it's just mine come with a kickback
I am who I am, and I ain't flexing, I'm just saying
I'll stop believing He'll feed us when I die from starvation
Never came into the game, 'cause even when I'm joking
I don't take my words for play, so there's no controlling
Never got on board with waves, but I love the motion
So let's keep surfing, never hating, there's room in the ocean
This is Maldives, wrath upon all thieves
But He shows mercy through faith if a [?] the size of a small seed
Send away fake fruit, my condolence
Master symbol on my back like Goku's clothing
Ain't losing blessings 'cause I lost my temper
Tryna semper fi when exhausted, go exalt His splendor
Lord, help me, let me work while it's day, though skies gray
Let my will mirror death when anatomy strays, salute
[Hook: Jeremiah Bligen]
