josiah williams - trade the world lyrics

[intro]
yeah
yeah
i made a song for the guys and the girls in the tribe
take a second, close your eyes
and we gon’ let it ride
yeah, yeah
we gon’ let it ride
take a second, close your eyes
and we gon’ let it ride

[josiah williams – verse one]
i wrestle everyday outside the ring
life is a constant battle, i look toward the finer things
i’d rather worry about why labels ain’t signing me
than tap into your love, that is alive and inside of me
been watching all the talent on these blogs, and brushing everything off
’cause they get all the applause, and i don’t get any calls
line-walking in places where i know i don’t belong
say i’m living for the righteous, but focused on the wrong

i was given a goal to press toward
if i keep my head forward
then i should be led more in the
direction of angels, instead of demons
waiting for me to weaken
so they can find a way to dis-ssemble our agreement

blessings on my shoulders, hatred around me
baptized in your water, they still looking to drown me
covered in sin, thinking i’m living a life of luxury
i used to seek stars, now i’m seeking out your company

[isaiah jenkins – chorus]
i never knew
that i could gain the world and lose you
and if it’s true
then i would trade the world to have you
don’t wanna go without you

[verse two]
i say i’m independent, until i have a need
pray to my holy father, head of the family
god, i need clearer vision
not talkin’ 20/20
gotta fight for the prize, and keep my eyes off that prized money
checking on my bank account and stressed about what ain’t present
though my job is a blessing, my att-tude is unpleasant
begging i receive more
the problem word is ‘receive’
’cause i don’t give as much attention to what i believe, man

i’ve gotta die to self to be alive
cause i am just a guy, til the guy rearrives
mama said “read the word,” can’t really say that i try
’til i find myself in shambles, and to the lord i will cry

i’m a sometimes man, for an always god
and the direction that i work in isn’t always god’s
i find myself in a rush, i wonder who do i trust
now the answer to the question? is always, god

[isaiah jenkins – chorus]

[verse three]
i feel my highest moments, after i hit a low
tried living on my own, it’s like driving in overload
i tasted living water, i let it overflow
i look up to the son, now i know how to grow

rap lyrics have become, letters i should have written
prayers i should have prayed
i said i would, but i didn’t
i see the bigger picture, over-exaggerated
you know my true colors, heavily saturated

walking down this path, a yellow-brick you designed
when you saw it, you made it with all of us in your mind
i ain’t perfect, but i know i’m getting better with time
golden ladder i seek, golden ladder i climb

i’m just, one of your many soldiers standing on the field, yeah
and i’ve got the confidence of roman in the shield, yeah
where i’m tryna go is better than any luxury
i used to seek stars, now i’m seeking out your company

[isaiah jenkins – chorus]
