king karlemagne - the gospel lyrics

[verse 1]
a dozen close calls, i always rose tall
seen no barriers, i always broke walls
we was ignant, never claimed to know all
still my hustle on ten like that boy from snow fall
from selling dime bags in high school hallways
to breaking most clause and rule the laws say
from cocaine dealings to home invasions
i can only kneel before his throne and praise him
for all, and each time i ran from police
took leaps from buildings, to land on both feet
how can you say there’s no god above me?
i’m in favor of the odds, what more? he loves
this is real life my brother— i ain’t adding none
oh, y’all had a run? i was on the run
debt collectors, county sheriffs— i’m a wanted man
i+95 with a trunk full of contraband

[verse 2]
want to know how to lose more than half a mil?
i’ll tell you later, cause to me it’s traumatic still
made a gamble, the devil that said he had to deal
would’ve crashed out but jesus christ grabbed the wheel
from credit card scams, we own foundations
greatness takes time, i wasn’t patient
they counted us out, we showed resilience
didn’t speak english now my flow is brilliant
we build hospitals, did the impossible
said and did the rest— i’ll build a city next
each time i felt trapped god revealed the portal
tell me, how can i not feel immortal?
i’m un+breakable, faith unshakable
cain k!lled able too, (it’s why) i stay away from you
carried by god, i sing through each storm
i’m mansa musa, the king is reborn
[verse 3]
only n+word in paris ‘sides ye and the jigga man
i was hiding out near my grandma, when she lived in france
got expelled, became teacher and i prospered
entered china, wasn’t held up at the border
six figure contract, watch me as i soar
my momma even kept a copy in her drawer
in case proof was needed, you could see it
loser, not me— refused to be it

[church intermission]

[verse 4]
grandma said as a words smith i can’t forget the worship
i pondered, would it be worth it? seeing as i don’t rehe+rs+ it
i rap with many curses, so you see, i’m far from perfect
she said come as i am, it’s sinners who fill up churches
david was an adulterer and noah loved whiskey
peter denied jesus, so which of my friends are with me?
moses caught a body, they won’t say it to you
and even jesus flipped over a table or two
so, in spite of my sins i give you all of my truth
the gospel of karl the great, it’s what offer to you
orchestrated by roll’x, he’s the choir leader
to anyone i forgot pardon my amnesia
i ask, why when i’m mentioned, all the side eyes and tension?
it’s a thin line between love and hate, it’s a sign of affection
for all my transgressions they ask, why i’m not in prison
i have god to thank, that’s divine intervention
