What You Do
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 used to dream about making madd dividends/mansion in the hills pushing a black Benz/prominence to the point of total dominance/taking over as if I had preeminence/just give me a mic was gonna take it there/had the drive of a bull charging with no fear/mission was pleasing the world with my delivery/ensuring I would be a part of rap history/but over time I would find myself uneasy/cuz I would hear the voice of God saying please me/and no peace did settle in til I did obey/so I surrendered my all and let Him lead the way/and now I realize it ain't about the money and fame/I'm doing what I've gotta do here to get my name/in the Lamb's Book of Life don't want a tragedy/I'm operating in the wisdom of God and now I'm free/cuz I know that .
Chorus:
Only what you do for Christ is gonna last/so if you do it for the world it's gonna pass/see you may get the glory here but when you're gone/you'll realize that God is right and you were wrong/.
Day by day we're out here paper chasin' hustling working our nose to the grind/looking and searching for every dime that we can possibly find/but for what cuz it ain't gonna pass into eternity unless we're believers/don't let the devil deceive you cuz there's not a profit that lies in being ballers and divas/millionaires to zillionaires you couldn't even purchase your God-given destiny here/let alone snatch your soul up and out of hell if it was to go there/word Psalm 127 unless the Lord build a house they labor in vain/your education finances and career if it ain't on Christ it won't remain/
I've been on every block and every corner I done seen it all/I've sold dope, I've tooted coke I done broke every law/ been there done that and got scars to prove/was hard headed out the womb I wouldn't follow the rules/bless my seed I hope and pray they ain't nothing like me/the scriptures tatted on my arms are speaking louder than me/I know you cats can't feel me cause I'm much too real/you'd rather sit up in the church because it's real in the field.
