Mouthpi3ce - By the Faith - The Foolish Things He Chooses - 2012
Soundbyte from the Warner Bros. movie Book of Eli:
Solara: Well, how do you know that you're walking in the right direction?
Eli: I walk by faith, not by sight
Solara: [sighs] What does that mean?
Eli: It means that you know something even if you don't know something
Solara: That doesn't make any sense
Eli: It doesn't have to make sense. It's faith, it's faith. It's the flower of light in the field of darkness that's giving me the strength to carry on. You understand?
[Hook]
I just wanna please you
So I live by the faith
No matter what it look like
I believe in what You say
You tell me it's OK
Then I believe I'm straight
I got an expected end
Shorty, I am on my way
Yeah, defeat is in my rear-view
And they ain't trynna stay
Screaming "d**h, I don't fear you!"
Die another day
As for now, I got a job to do
And I ain't trynna stray
Yeah I'm living by the faith
Yeah I'm living by the faith
[Verse 1: Mouthpi3ce]
Imagine skydiving
With no parachute
And all you got is the word of god and a jumpsuit
Fighting thoughts from the enemy trynna stunt you
Trynna have you question "is God gon come through?"
Your heart accelerate and you getting close to the ground
All the while, not realizing you walking on clouds
The devils quiet
Heavens a riot
Cause both parties recognizing you getting it now
Then all the sudden, you enjoying that wind in your face
And your demeanor shows the signs that you entered the place
(where?)
Of distance from worry
Where sin is at bay
Many miles from your fears
Nothing stands in your way
No matter the problem
Everything is OK
I got it, you get it
So amazing His grace
Nothings higher than Him
Might get carried away
Watch you land on your feet
Now your standing on faith
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Mouthpi3ce]
Yeah
Yo, it's impossible to please him without it
So consequently it's a sin if I continue to doubt it
Believe you me I hit the streets and show this world that I'm 'bout it
Hands on the sick, and pray the prayers that have the demons get routed
I'm moving mountains with a mustard seed
His power's astounding
Surrounding me
Confound the wise with something they see as weak
But Captain Deezy fed the multitudes
So why should I be
Afraid if I don't see the money?
When it's plain as can see
It's a test and I'm gon pa** it for that masters degree
Or a bachelors at least, no?
I'm married to the carrier of all I can be
That's why I watch what I eat
Out the abundance of the heart, that's what you'll properly speak (Lord!)
And in His Word, ain't no way that i can possibly be defeated by [?]
Tell Him "I do believe"
I ain't the smartest apple
But I am a part of His tree
I'm the head, not the tail
I hope that my God is pleased
[Hook x2]
