Lecrae:
It"s Gravity
Keeps pullin me down
Pullin me down
Listen, I pen songs for the perishin and parishioners
Them hearers and them listeners, the home and the visitors
This is not a game, you can't tame or make it purty
They say the earth cursed, so our mouths stay dirty
There"s mud on the track, a slug in ya back
Police done pulled you over wit a gun in ya lap
And you ain't the power to make it through this parade
The workers can't keep the profit - everything here is vain
My job oppressive, I strive for my blessins
The pastor so corrupt it's hard to ride with his message
Riches destroy the owners, the government think they own us
My onus is to keep the police from ridin all up on us
Leavin money to kids who spend it on gettin blitz
Say, what's the point of livin to give it up in the end
Then again, all my sin has been pinned to the cross
I know I'm free forever from this land of the lost
J.R.:
Yeah, every time I think I"m flying
I"m just falling
So close to touching the sky
But gravity keeps pulling me back down
But I can"t stay here forever
I want to go, o-oh one day!
I want to go
Somewhere where there"s no gravity
Where there's no gravity
Lecrae:
Somebody told me there was no such thing as truth
I said, 'If that's the case then why should I believe you?'
Murder, money, and mayhem, every place that I lay in
My problems follow suit, I'm tailor-made for this, ain't I?
It"s deep. You wanna go deep? I"ll take you deep
Reality is really just cheap
Ya eyes wide open apparently, but you sleep
And everything you have in your hands you"ll never keep
So why hold on, I flow on to go on, before long I float on
Eternal life is what I'm thinkin I'ma bank my hope on
Believe me, easy is irrelevant
The devil want us burning for the hell of it
Elephants in the room say we can't talk about impending doom
Or we gospel rappin or preachin people out of they shoes
It"s cool, I'll be that dude. We glued to our depravity
Until somebody free us from this gravity. Fly!
J.R.:
I want to go, ooh one day!
I want to go
Somewhere where there"s no gravity
Where there's no gravity
Yeah, every time I think I"m flying
I"m just falling
So close to touching the sky
But gravity keeps pulling me back down
But I can"t stay here forever
