lyrics

D.I.T.R. | Numatik

[Verse 1]
I wake up in the morning’— from a dream I arise—
From a dream state miles away from this life— dealing’ with pride—
—Arrive at point of destination— headed for great things—
Greatness is in the making—
When my alarm clock rings—
And’ it’s on— twenty four gone, yesterday
But today will move on, and’ me I keep going’
These rhymes they keep flowing’
Jotting’ down a phrase, a thought in each moment—
Abiding’— best I know how—
And’ now in this God, we plan to grow now
When I’m gone— hope they found out
That God’s a good God, he treasure your grown smile
Invented your own style— out of the womb
I hope you realize, ain’t far from the truth
View a new you, unique to be you
Doing’ what you feel inside your own views
In tune with his move—ments—
‘I guess what I’m tryna’ say, keeping’ straight, off a two lips—
‘Cause I can say one thing, and then do another
I’m trying’ live right, would you help me Father—

[Pre-Chorus x2]
I’ma take today and’ let it ride— (ride)
I’ma trust in God, with my stars (stars)
I know (oh) that He’ll take me
Shake me, faith in; He won’t break me (me)—

[Hook x2]
Scene—He took me by the hand
Led me to a land, filled with honey, soft sand
Saying’, take a look, and’ try me if you can
Got a lot of’ stars hanging’ on a curtain, understand
This could be you, this is your inheritance
Nations will arrive at the sound of benevolence
(Uh) — so— these are my promises, will you hold on?
Sight’s on, to the heart in it—

[Verse 2]
When I’m gone, I want Him to remember me
That my name’s in that book of life—
And’ I— ain’t never want to live another minute
In another way diminishing’, my commitments—
I want to’ stay pure— essence of the Father
Never in a lack for love— stacked above—
And’ I’m staring’ at a storehouse—
Waiting’ for the doors to explode, and’ pour down—!

[Bridge x2]
It’s been a long time— (time)
Took a look at my past— (past)
Fleeting’ images, slip through my fingers, that I can’t grasp—
(I) find I try to take hold, yet— I should let it go (go)
I should let it go, and’ let it pass— (pass, pass)

[Verse 3]
Now it’s— back to work, back to my grind
Still keep a vision of you within’ mind—
Still keep the promise of truth within’ lines
In time I know I’ll find the answer to these cries—
And I stand on, ‘you’re a good God’
And’ I know that, in you I have love
And’ I never plan to turn away
No matter what I face— I’ma run, finish the race—!
