Formely Known (feat. Co. Campbell)

Everybody wanna be heard everybody wanna be seen

Everybody wanna be known and everybody got some dreams

We wanna be understood not overlooked

And when we fall who's go'n carry us underwood

We need love and affection time and attention

Affirmation acceptance someone to give direction

Set apart from the rest and we wanna stand distinguished

And be the cool kid like a jeff english

Been on a quest for this ever since genesis

But settling for fool's gold instead of what the treasure is

Chasing after numbers yo this must have been our exodus

We don't want no jesus unless he's chilling on our necklaces

Formerly known way before the moment i was born

I'm not an accident or it'd of blown

The one that made me gave me purpose

Now i don't gotta go on searching

{2x}

Formerly known

What you looking at now not what i always been

I ain't bragging on my past but buddy i was trapped in sin

No power in myself to overcome my flesh

I bought clothes to get undressed but god revealed my nakedness

A hostile enemy speech was all venomy

Jesus was a nice guy but wasn't no friend to me

My lips said i loved him my actions despised his reign

I had my own agenda i was my own king

Then he came i was changed by grace through faith

Every dollar that i owed it was paid paid paid paid

Sin's bill was something i couldn't pick up

Now i got my hands raised high like a stick-up

He know me even better than i know myself

Every hair on my head every need i felt

Seeking for i'm gone gotta get to know him

C-lite no more but the lights still on

Formerly known way before the moment i was born

I'm not an accident or it'd of blown

The one that made me gave me purpose

Now i don't gotta go on searching

{2x}

Formerly known

Before i'm gone i gotta get to know him

C-lite no more but the lights still on (2x)
