[Intro]
(I chase you all day in my mind…)
[Verse 1: Illijam]
I've been thinking bout how I been thinking too much/
And I'm feeling how obsession makes you lose touch/
It's this wicked addictive personality causing friction/
Over-loving the mission such that I'm losing the vision/
And the goal's been to see folks count it loss/
Find their top joy in Jesus; get that across/
But somehow I turned the message to a mirror/
Fell in love with my reflection, man I ain't been seeing clear/
God I want my every endeavor to show how you're my treasure/
Purify my tainted desires, while I make you my pleasure/
I feel so trapped when I am dating Queen Ratings/
I been in my basement writing rhymes just creating/
And I don't wanna sound like I got it together I don't I just don't wanna settle for pleasure/
That's lesser, than what I know we can have/
So many obligations I feel like I'm drownin/
And it all keep me busy like King Midas's accountant/
9-5, music life, family and my lady I/
Been juggling juggling Barnum & B-Bailey Circus grind/
My prof in college said figure out what you'll say/
And God may give a platform from which you can convey/
But what all that means remains to be seen/
Me and a million others are all chasing their dreams/
And it's crazy how people change; I ain't talking haircuts/
I'm talking Transformers Hasbro-character/
Whether it's mental illness or livin in sin/
They're both symptomatic of how we're broken within/
And I pray God guide me, as I'm writing/
How do you write about pain without dissing who provided it?/
I don't know, forgive me if I'm too open/
People from my past -- it's in love and I'm hoping/
To show y'all, how God works, ironically/
And while you wait, He works for good/
Just wait...and...see/
