zj mission - glory & strife lyrics
{intro]
glory and the strife
i came up from the rubble
yeah
[hook]
i came up from the rubble
my light shines brightest in the storm though
the glory and the strife it’s a struggle
spirit fighting with my body and my hormones
trying every night not to stumble
if you walk into my mind it’s a warzone
tryna k!ll my pride and be humble
giving glory through the strife and the lord knows
i came up from the rubble
my light shines brightest in the storm though
the glory and the strife it’s a struggle
spirit fighting with my body and my hormones
trying every night not to stumble
if you walk into my mind it’s a warzone
tryna k!ll my pride and be humble
giving glory through the strife and the lord knows
[verse 1]
i was on my own when i started this
had no support, in a war with the populace
i had a dream, i just needed an audience
martin luther king in this thing minus darker skin
pride in my way though, i chose to follow it
strayed from the path to a trap i was falling in
house full of strife every day i was the cause of it
parents had enough of the stress and the arguments
they had told this young teenager he would never learn
story of a young christian man turned secular
looking at himself in the mirror like
i guess you weren’t as holy as you think you were
after all the things you went and did with her
those were the voices in my ear every night
full of fear, full of fright, cuz i veered from the light
had to steer from that life, holy spirit got it right
mama always told me it would be a fight
i just wanted you to know that
[hook]
i came up from the rubble
my light shines brightest in the storm though
the glory and the strife it’s a struggle
spirit fighting with my body and my hormones
trying every night not to stumble
if you walk into my mind it’s a warzone
tryna k!ll my pride and be humble
giving glory through the strife and the lord knows
i came up from the rubble
my light shines brightest in the storm though
the glory and the strife it’s a struggle
spirit fighting with my body and my hormones
trying every night not to stumble
if you walk into my mind it’s a warzone
tryna k!ll my pride and be humble
giving glory through the strife and the lord knows
[verse 2]
i been working i been trying
staying up at night putting in work on my assignment
to go into world with the light i have and shine it
praying to the lord, that he opens up their eyelids
and i ain’t gonna lie, i still got a bit of sin in me
tryna bring me down, trying to put me in the industry
but it ain’t gonna happen ’cause the greater one lives in me
the fight still raging on but i’m on the winning team
homie i ain’t here to make treaties with an enemy that’s defeated
my place is high up with jesus, devil tryna to get me to leave it
i’m tryna stay on the narrow path, he suggested the scenic route
comes with green and a ring and crown
everything that i’ve dreamed about
money women and screaming crowds
if i just take a knee and bow
but i’ve seen what his team about
all his glory’s been beaten down
all he’s got is deceiving now
tells me lies but i weed ’em out
i’m surrendered to jesus the king of kings i don’t need a crown
after all man
[hook]
i came up from the rubble
my light shines brightest in the storm though
the glory and the strife it’s a struggle
spirit fighting with my body and my hormones
trying every night not to stumble
if you walk into my mind it’s a warzone
tryna k!ll my pride and be humble
giving glory through the strife and the lord knows
i came up from the rubble
my light shines brightest in the storm though
the glory and the strife it’s a struggle
spirit fighting with my body and my hormones
trying every night not to stumble
if you walk into my mind it’s a warzone
tryna k!ll my pride and be humble
giving glory through the strife and the lord knows
[outro]
and the lord knows
and the lord knows
yeah the lord knows
i said the lord knows
and the lord might know my story
but some of you don’t
so let me start it all back where it all came from
