lou chikuni - self made lyrics

[verse 1: lou chikuni]
yo, yo, yo
yeah, here we go
how bizarre is the theory, though
that you in charge of every experience
that would lead you to fulfill your goals
you stand still and pose
take a selfie twitter chose
hashtag “self made”
crop the picture, insta post
alanis mo, isn’t it ironic to suppose
you made it yourself when there’s so much that you cannot control
the place of your birth
that date the way you came into this world
the size and gender and the weight that you were
the relationships that would make or break you, pain and the hurt
everything you ever survived and how you came to mature
there was stuff that worked in your favor that would straighten the curve
and made a way for you when you weren’t feeling safe and secure
its insane to refer to yourself as the orchestrator
of everything that has brought you wealth
and the coordinator
that kept you off of the coroner’s table and on the radar
let go of the glory that you claiming and just praise god

[hook: lou chikuni]
you never made yourself, you ain’t self made
you live inside a world that you never made
you ’bout to play yourself, but it ain’t a game
pay homage to the one that made everything
you never made yourself, you ain’t self made
you live inside a world that you never made
you ’bout to play yourself, but it ain’t a game
pay homage to the one that made everything

[verse 2: stract]
yo, yo, yo, yo
what you make, you become
deaf, blind
silver and gold from a human design
idols can’t talk, homie, you in decline
you can only do anything if you in the vine
deuce to the branch that don’t wanna be a amba
we move to the cross quiet, no rambler
peep the stanza like a carnival scrambler
a ride you don’t wanna be on, you can’t stand the
rain like a timberland, nubuck, tender man
come again, dirt, tell me how you can demand
anything, squirt, how you came forth from a man
when he meet the skirt steak, bring it back, boomerang
work never saved none, though it might have made some
it’s all the same for the slave when the grave come
6 feet, feel the heat, you gon’ need a brave lung
you self+made? cool, i’mma only praise one

[verse 3: gil valez]
yo
father god, enlighten me
i could be showing them the light in me
they fighting me must not be liking me
or really liking you, ’cause really
all i do is take your truth and make it rhyme in the booth
they don’t like it cause it remind them of you
they think i’m judgmental and self+centered, not christ+centered
and i agree, i guess i can sound better
but then again, that’s what pulpits do
cater to the crowd so i just do what i’m supposed to do
because i’m made by you, not self+made
only thing i can do myself is dig my own grave
i’m not saved cause i rap, i rap cause i’m saved
make mistakes along the way but it’s all about your grace
your truth, your light, your way, yahweh
let he who is truly self+made cast the, i’ll wait
not one, just god’s son
everyone else falls short like a bad broad jump, god is love
