[Intro] [Verse : Richard Alire] Momma told me I was special, I ain't believe her Coming up without a father, I never was a believer My only father was what I had on the streets At least until i came across a father figure in my Jesus A sign of weakness hardly came across my soul My only obligation was to stay afar from hope Cuz' hope will get you k**ed if you let it become your dreams Know that life ain't what it seems with a chain across your throat The only j**elry that suits me is this stainless heart of Gold And I won't let it break apart, even if it's my only option
I'm optin' out cuz I'm not about to lose sight of the object Even if I lose sight in my optics, (look) I see the future through peripheral vision An individual who's seeking an additional wisdom I look to God when I'm in need of an admissable critic But at times there's no response so I inhibit what's given An inhabitual missionary who's painting a picture To make you stop and turn around in a centrifical pivot Now think about it And raise your hands into the air if you believe that you're with it
