Lyrics

Vital

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I don't care what you done, I don't care where you been

All you got do to is look over your shoulder

And look where God has walked you from

All you gotta do is look back

Just somebody look over your shoulder

Look where you come from, look where you come through

I come through the storms and rain

Look where I come from, I was down but now I'm up

Look where I come from, by the grace of God

By the goodness of God, look where I come from

Remind me where I'm from again

Yeah, that's right, that's right

Tryna suppress the stress, you know?

Got a family tree that needs watering

A father that needs fathering

A mom that would probably prefer the whole mother-daughter thing, but we still rolling, you know?

Flipping my phone, soon as I wake

They callin' my name, just another day

Can't bend, can't break

Can't let it show on my face

All of my mistakes, right there on display

All part of my story, skin thick as my shawty, yeah (Too thick shawty)

Flipping my phone, soon as I wake

Is everybody safe? Carrying the weight

Tell me what it takes to get everybody straight

The money in my safe, can't buy a clean slate

Clean isn't for me anyway

I don't want you to allow people to tell you that you are useless

Alright, alright, go ahead and tell 'em, go ahead and tell 'em

Because I want you to know, God told me to tell you this day "You are useful" (Tell 'em, tell 'em)

You are valuable (Yes), and you are vital (Yes), to God

Vital, vital, on baby, on Bible

Remember what I left when I go

Remember what I said when I spoke

Please don't stand at my grave and cry though

I'm not there, they made it so I can never really die though

So please don't stand at my grave and cry though

Pop champagne, scream my words

Let me leave on a high note

And don't let nobody call me an idol

'Cause I was never sitting idle

And my people go where I go

Don't let nobody sell my house on the bridle

Worked too hard for the title

Worked too hard, where did life go?

Last thing I heard was Andre scream "Ice cold"

Past eight years feel like I had my eyes closed, blindfolded

Smoke before I make my decisions

That's how I take the high road

Say I never get alone time, that's a lie though

I'm still alone with everybody as far as I know
