jacq malíq - first sunday lyrics

[intro: pastor kerry baker]
we find ourselves in the midst of a storm
because we made some bad decisions
because we failed to listen to big mama
when she was telling us we shouldn’t do this
we failed to listen to big daddy
when he was giving us instruction
we failed to listen to our preacher
when he was preaching and teaching the word
we failed to listen!

[verse: jacq malíq]
d-mn, the truth is so convicting
my suffering a consequence of all my bad decisions
god was speaking all along
i ain’t wanna listen
really thought i knew more than the people that came before
hard-headed plus the drugs will really cloud your vision
insecure about my choices so i got defensive
any time my fam would try to speak some sense into me
because i found it more important that they listen to me
you really think these people care about your life
when you don’t care about your own
run the streets with them after you run a way from home
i know you know better bro i ain’t the one to judge
we both in this together any weather
i remember being five
praying for a brother
i was the only child between my pops and mother
they separated and my father met your mama after
step brothers, now at 22 it never mattered
even though we grew apart
we still got the same roots
grandma told me what happened and man that just ain’t you
eat away at your spirit is all that them things do
get a grip on your mind until you can no longer choose
i know that you just dying inside
letting demons lose
by pushing love away though you’re slowly tying the noose
that first step is the hardest i know that you’re trying to
just know that everyday that you don’t i am crying too

d-mn, the truth is so convicting
hard-headed we don’t ever listen

[pastor kerry baker]
if you had listened three jobs ago
you would not be in the same situation you’re in
big mama said stay on that job
its a good job
its paying your bills

[verse 2]
i ain’t nothing but a leaf on this tree of life
tryna get it right ’cause i can’t live it twice
i was losing touch and losing sight
too afraid to write or jump back on the mic
i’ve witnessed dreams die
with my own eyes
there’s just something bout my p-ssion keeping this alive
i was struggling hustling barely getting by
on my own two
did what i need to survive
can’t say i didn’t try
pride i had to put aside
a victim to the lies
because i couldn’t crucify
the truth inside
what’s important you decide
i lost my little cousin trey to suicide
around the same time i was contemplating mine
but whenever they would ask i’d say i’m doing fine
sick of crying i’ma grind until it all align
i’ve been walking by faith
following the signs
instead of fake-trapping internet actors
when their wave hits the sh0r-
i’m sure i’ll be here after
real recognize real and the rest don’t matter
put my mind to the page watch me transcend matter
aiming for the stars no tesla, no nasa
sleeping in my car no job, no fafsa
same story new chapter till its happy-ever-after
legend in the making not your ordinary rapper

[guitar solo: jacq malíq]
