Lecrae - Chase That (Ambition) lyrics

started with hanging posters on my bedroom walls to battle rapping for status up in the school halls just call me double sushi thought I was too raw and hip hop was my home, I had my shoes off 6'3 in high school I skipped the hoop dream if I don't blowup then maybe I'll try the school thing I went to college to do my family a favor but I couldn't pick a major cause I wanted to be ma-jor I tried selling work, but it didn't work. so I worked - shoppers seen a clerk, fi'n go berserk lunch break seen me writing 16's over micky dee's skipping cla** making beats over 60 keys and I love it even though I'm just chasing selfish ambition couldn't tell your boy naything watch out all you rappers cause they filling Lecrae in but I was sleeping on the sun like the 'days inn' and you could have the money, and you could have the fame. but me I want the glory, I'm living for the name see life is just a picture, I see outside the frame I'm living for the kingdom, and I ain't of the same yeah, and I'ma chase that. I'ma I'ma chase that found the key to life and best believe that I'ma plate that glory I'ma chase that, I'ma I'ma chase that glory I'ma chase that, I'ma I'ma chase that ugh, I remember chasing the green feeling blue only check I'm counting is the mic check (1, 2) all I wanted was the money and the fame and the new somebody on my arm when I walk inside the room all I wanted was doomed, the same kind Alexander the great felt when the earth ran out of room he conquered all he could but yet he still was consumed by this never-ending quest for glory he couldn't fuel like a typical fool I would go hard - shooting for the moon but there's only one Son, no co-star. chasing glory I shouldn't own, stead of living to make His name known I'm running after His throne. I thought being on TV where everybody could see me was nothing short of the easiest way I could see to please me I'll never be who I used to desperately want to be, I'm too worried bout the Lord getting credit instead of me and you could have the money, and you could have the fame. but me I want the glory, I'm living for the name see life is just a picture, I see outside the frame I'm living for the kingdom, and I ain't of the same yeah, and I'ma chase that. glory chase that found the key to life and best believe that I'ma plate that glory I'ma chase that, I'ma I'ma chase that glory I'ma chase that, I'ma I'ma chase that I used to wanna do it big. when you're only focused on yourself - that's small and they, they used to tell me as a kid that I could do anything that I wanted cept fall and now that I recall, I was chasing my goals and every time I caught em they multiplied into more I never even thought about whether the Lord approved call it selfish ambition I call it "I'm making moves" but history repeats itself, evil's what it is cause lucifer was cast away for doing what I did created by the God that spoke the earth into existence instead of chasing the Father's glory he was chasing his he lies to us all, told Adam he could ball "why you following God when you can go get it all?" I tell you what's better, or better yet worse. chasing your own glory while doing the Lord's work, so holla if it hurts, but we were made for greater our greatest satisfaction is making His name famous so if we're never named among the greatest, they don't critically acclaim us, ain't nothing to be ashamed of we gave it up for the savior! I'ma chase that, I'ma I'ma chase that and the Lord's goodness you should you should taste that and you ain't living till you're living for His name glory I'ma chase that, I'ma I'ma chase that.
