Jake Birch - Baptize lyrics

[Verse 1] Yo This the type of music make your momma cry Homicide is on the rise, she pray you follow god But we never follow instinct, just pressure from the elders And our hope respect is building Karma around the corner, hope I play the block correct Live my life surfaced The world is ours soon I'll have a slot with Katie Couric 60 minutes 'til I'm popping Never get trapped up in no box, break the locks, now we locked in Yeah, pause it, back when we lost it, can't record the time from slowing it down A bigger time would keep the life in order I'm trying to keep my f**ing light in order Cause bills are piling and I spend my life a night recorder Ain't got that mustard, I contribute to it But I know when I will pa** upon this sh** I'm probably still losing Cause there's nothing worse than talent wasted Is back to aiming through the roof and hope my ammo breaks in Then I continue past it I'm trying to issue cla**ics I'm trying to be the symbol that's gon' to keep your dream inactive It won't be easy but with simple it doesn't even matter From a August to amino acids, I'm a f**ing fiend for pa**ion 'til I redeem and eat, sleep and just put repeat action in 'til I collapse, I'll be attached to lead the legal factives 'til Imma bleed and reach, peaks they always told me that I would never come close to, never let those choose Yeah, and now it's everything I thought it could be You thought me anything I thought I could be Tears falling down my dad's eyes I grew up, ya son baptized, cherish what we have Life never promised, get it while it's possible Because anything is solvable (true) You told me do what you do And believe in yourself, way I'm believing in you Just believe in yourself or I believe it in you [Outro] And I swear to everything When I leave this earth It's gon' be on both feet Never knees in the dirt You can try to stop me, cuz when I leave it hurts, it's far Just lived your life, twice for mine Give me any amount of time, don't let my family grieve At the funeral parlor tripping tears down they sleeves Give me any amount of time, don't let my family cry But I don't wanna die I been baptized, yeah Tears falling down my dad's eyes I grew up, ya son baptized, cherish what we have Life never promised, get it while it's possible Because anything is solvable (true) You told me do what you do And believe in yourself, way I'm believing in you
