Jake Crocker - Purified Kings lyrics

Now what's worse, that I believed it or didn't see it? This life is clergical, some how I'm the only one to lead it I smile and try to relieve it, as my disciples read it This bible's a bibliography but I can't even read it I see my life in it, I see my d**h after I see my future planned out throughout the next chapter We all the best rappers, all got the best flows It's all standard man like 2 hands and 10 toes Now what you do with it, puts the “you” in it I stand amid the evil, lead and be true with it Too many educated minds use their lines and they time To design what they call the life of crime By stepping for the blind, and luring in the deaf The rates of these tickets is rising like it's life or d**h I'd like to make it less, but I'd like to keep my job Became a king remain a king, I leave it up to God But God damn, here it goes again This round table got me feeling closed in Feeling like my nose in, with no sin That's line for line I write it until my end Word for word, until my mind becomes a verb And my words become a speech, someone let me off a leash Someone undress my sheath, put my sword in my sheets Lord please, it's d**h or my dreams (Hook) These days we play and we roam We pray but they stay on the throne We know, don't trust but your home Gotta, reach up, keep up and keep on These songs, and these battles Let it shine, we climb from the shadows Sing, and feel the glory ya'll bring Hands down, we the purified kings As long as I remain honest, then I can make a promise Not to change the game but change the way they look upon us So to be honest, this industry is a war zone Frightened and fighting to treat it like it's your throne I try to refrain from making singles, I want albums I want millions I want ours, respect with less power Impress with less stress, follow steps of my idols But a king is only a king if he's given the title I know vision is vital, my drive to say the least But a part of me still wonders if I should quit to find peace To try to define me, without defining a dream And is this album what I'm about or is this just “My Dreams?” I'm dying to find relief, my second record this year Every decision I'm making in here could make or break my career My career, can't even call it a job Became a king remain a king, I leave it up to God But God please, on my knees Can't beg but this is all that I need Are you calling on me? Stop falling on me Lord please, it's d**h or my dreams Cover nothing, it's love or nothing Give me something, am I standing up for something? And I, know you got it can you share it with me? Lord please, for the American Dreams (Hook) These days we play and we roam We pray but they stay on the throne We know, don't trust but your home Gotta, reach up, keep up and keep on These songs, and these battles Let it shine, we climb from the shadows Sing, and feel the glory ya'll bring Hands down, we the purified kings
