[Intro] Every single piece Every piece of me Is yours (x2) [Verse 1] Meditation and reflection I write lyrics and I go into the session And if I draw closer, that's the ultimate progression I'm not a star, I'm living in the star's light Tryna make it out the tragedy in every dark night People tell me I'm the man, and I tell 'em: not quite Cause they don't know I'm tryna get rid of what's not right My music is a hobby that should benefit the body And the mind Soul Vibe to the rhythm Find all the rhymes, get inside all the wisdom I am just a wire in a world of God's system So, why should I be celebrated? When I get my award it's never I who's dedicated Cause even though an honor could label me decorated God always had a course, a plan premeditated I hope that I execute it how His Son demonstrated That's What He tells me that I'm capable of I was once without form, now it's shapable love And I ain't never letting go, inescapable love When I think about His doings And compare to what I've done You can't work for a ten While living without the one That's why I'm looking back at all that I've overcome From hoping to the praying And music that I've been laying I'm tryna stay in the game Without tellin' em that I'm playin And I'm Just sayin Yeah And you should know it now! I just can't get enough And we gon' let it ride [Verse 2] I'm not every other John, I wanna be John Legend I'm the lyrical answer to the literal question The world's hands raised, I ain't takin yo suggestions The paranoia left the body and I'm livin' I was dirt deep, Holy, Holy kept diggin' Like I was satisfied with the Devil straight pimpin' He had me at the ankle and a brother kept limpin' But God knew me at birth, March 3rd, Scottie Pippen So, I Started lookin' and workin' on my appeal A friend I can't see, but I know that God's real And if He's living in me, I'm an envelope sealed So you can take your writings elsewhere I know I'm rich in His love, it's not welfare And if you ain't on the plan, just know I'm praying I hope they feel what I'm layin It doesn't come with a price He's continously paying My God you are so amazin' and I'm Just sayin'
