Jahaziel - You Got Yours lyrics

[Intro] Life is a gift You got yours (x2) So buckle up Melody, let's go [Verse 1] It's Jahaziel The kid's called to spit bars well And let the world know that God's real That's why I rock mics in spotlights I came from a hard-knock life Now I praise God I got life Many nights I could of got knifed or worse Could of got shot, could of got bucked in a hearse And now I look in reverse and I look and I smirk Cause man I never thought I'd ever put my foot in a church Since birth, crooked and cursed, puttin' in work I'm drivin' by a vision that's bigger than pushin a merce(des) Cause it's worth more than money can buy To see these heads arise and shine bright like the sun in July Ain't a matter how high to climb it's psychological They say impossible, God says I am possible So who's responsible for yesterday's news, it's you The future's whichever way that you choose [Chorus] Life is a gift But too many loosin' it Ain't what you got But it's what you do with it Choice is yours Better start choosin' it Cause you got yours (x2) [Verse 2] (Choose now) Yo Some nights I dream with my eyes open My mind floats in the sky So I can clearly see the gold on the rise and approaching Some think I'm hoping for something that won't happen They say it's never gonna go Platinum But man I never chose rappin' just to get your toes tappin' My hope is to break them chains your soul's trapped in I speak with pa**ion, words of the street There's no relaxing, 'till I see my purpose complete There's more action, cause who don't work they don't eat Or who don't sow don't reap, the roots gotta be sown deep The seed dies to rise from the earth's tomb And makes the flower to bloom and burst the perfume Like, you gotta die before you truly can live Like you gotta close your eyes before you see what life is Sometimes before you can build you gotta destroy Sometimes you gotta endure before you enjoy That's the process that separates the men from the boys Trust God If you're willing He can fill in the void If you start k**in' the noise Listen you can hear His whisperin' voice [Life or d**h Which is your choice?] (x4) [Verse 3] (Now listen) Both my hands are raised and I stand amazed Cause I come a long way since back in the days All I did was rap and blaze I left school with bad grades cause I wasn't in cla** for days I was, so fed up and broke with no development hope I started peddlin' coke in dance raves Till my man overdosed on cla** A's Before he pa**ed I wish I had a chance to say Listen, your imitation is just a masquerade You can graduate, you can even pa** the H I don't care about your color, creed, cla** or age Or whether in the past you've made some bad mistakes Destiny's not in the hands of fate, it's in the plans you make The path you take and activate You got your chance today you don't have to wait Or procrastinate, all you gotta have is faith [Outro] They say yesterday's the past Tomorrow's the future And today is a gift That's why it's called the present Thank you Jesus It's time to wake up Open your eyes No time for wastin' Livin' your life (Life in abundance) Separate and sanctify (Get yours) You can be free In Jesus Christ
