Young Josiah by Najee Boykin Lyrics
[Chorus]
We ain’t come to leave (leave) we came to run the town (town)
Lift the spirit up (up) I think they want it now (now)
Was sent from God (d) I put old living down (down)
Was sent to heal the weak (weak) and we gon hunt em down (down down down down)
I been in repentance stuck in turn around (ayy)
Young Josiah found the idols then he burned it down (ayy)
I threw out all other options he’s the only route (ayy)
So when I come to speak its Jesus coming out my mouth
[First Verse]
Okay okay ugh I ain’t come to live the same life
I died to myself so I could rise on the same night
I bet you see the difference like you missing what the bank swiped
I came here on a mission with my siblings call that gang life uh huh (yeah yeah)
But we ain’t shootin though (we ain’t shootin)
R.I.P to my old life left at the funeral (left at the back)
Got that belt around my waist but it ain't Gucci though (no it ain’t)
I’m an air but I ain’t arrogant like Louis though (ugh)
Live by faith and not by sight (sight) can’t walk it on my own
I got the spirit on my right (my right) we talk when I’m alone
Don’t talk to girls that ain’t my type (naa) had to leave him at the tone (he don’t never answer the phone)
[Chorus]
We ain’t come to leave (nope) we came to run the town (town)
Lift the spirit up (up) I think they want it now (now)
Was sent from God (d) I put old living down (down)
Was sent to heal the weak (weak) and we gon hunt em down (down down down down)
I been in repentance stuck in turn around (ayy)
Young Josiah found the idols then he burned it down (ayy)
I threw out all other options he’s the only route (ayy)
So when I come to speak its Jesus coming out my mouth
[Second Verse]
We gon run it back back back back back (run it back man)
I just got the fact fact fact facts (just got the facts)
Jesus came when he ain’t have to get dispatched
I’ve been asking for a smack by his grace he won’t attack
What does it mean to turn ahead when yo whole life was in the past (in the past)
It means I got something to look ahead to ayy (head too)
Got heaven on my heart and my head too (head too)
Stuck inside his love with no leg room (uh huh)
So I can’t quit when I’ve fallen and I’m far I just remember what he did
Then I call him at the altar and remember what he said
He’ll never leave me or forsake me when I’m drowning in complacency still loving me instead
[Chorus]
We ain’t come to leave (leave) we came to run the town (town)
Lift the spirit up (up) I think they want it now (now)
Was sent from God (d) I put old living down (down)
Was sent to heal the weak (weak) and we gon hunt em down (down down down down)
I been in repentance stuck in turn around (ayy)
Young Josiah found the idols then he burned it down (ayy)
I threw out all other options he’s the only route (ayy)
