Chase That (Ambition)

[Verse 1] Started with hanging posters on my bedroom walls To battle rapping for status up in the school halls. Just call me double sushi, thought I was too raw And hip hop was my home, I had my shoes off 6’3” in high school, well skip my hoop dream If I don’t blow up then maybe, I’ll try the school thing I went to college to do my family a favor But I couldn’t pick a major cause I wanted to be major I tried sellin work, but it didn’t work So I worked, shopping center clerk, finna go berserk Lunch break , see my writing 16’s over Micky D’s Skipping class, making beats over 60 keys And I love that, that even though I’m just chasin' Selfish ambition couldn’t tell your boy nothin' Watch out all you rappers’ cause they 'finna le' ‘Crae in But I was sleeping on the Son like the Days Inn [Bridge] Ay you can have the money And you can have the fame But me I want the Glory I’m living for the Name See life is just a picture I see outside the frame I'm living for a kingdom that I ain't never seen [Hook] And I'mma chase that Glory I'mma I'mma chase that Found the key to life and best believe that I'mma play that Glory I'mma chase that, I'mma I'mma chase that Glory I'mma chase that, I'mma I'mma chase that [Verse 2] I remember chasing the green feeling blue Only check I’m counting is the mic check, one, two All I wanted was the money and the fame and the new Somebody on my arm when I walk inside the room All I wanted was doom The same kind Alexander the Great felt When the Earth ran out of room He conquered all he could, but yet he’s feelin' consumed By this never ending quest for glory he couldn’t fuel Like a typical fool, I would go hard Shootin' for the moon But there only one son, no co-star Chasin' glory I shouldn’t own Instead of livin' to make His name known I’m runnin' after his throne I thought being on TV where everybody could see me Was nothing short of the easiest way I could see to please me I’ll never be who I used to desperately want to be I’m too worried 'bout the Lord getting credit instead of me [Bridge] Ay you can have the money And you can have the fame But me I want the Glory I’m living for the Name See life is just a picture I see outside the frame I'm living for a Kingdom that I ain't never seen [Hook] And I'mma chase that Glory I'mma I'mma chase that Found the key to life and best believe that I'mma play that Glory I'mma chase that, I'mma I'mma chase that Glory I'mma chase that, I'mma I'mma chase that [Verse 3] I use to wanna do it big When you’re only focused on yourself that’s small And they, they use to tell me as a kid That I could do anything that I want except fall And now that I recall I was chasing my goals And every time I caught em they multiplied into mo’ I never even thought about whether the Lord approved Call it selfish ambition I call it, I'm making moves But history repeats itself Evil’s what it is Cause Lucifer was cast away for doing what I did Created by the God who spoke the Earth into existence Instead of chasing the Father’s glory he was chasing his He lies to us all Told Adam he could ball “Why you following God when you could go get it all?” I’ll tell you what's better, or better yet worse Chasing your own glory by doing the Lord’s work So holla if it hurts But we were made for greater Our greatest satisfaction is making His Name famous So if we’re never named among the greatest They don’t critically acclaim us Ain't nothing to be ashamed of We gave it up for the Savior [Outro] I'mma chase that, I'mma I'mma chase that And the Lord’s goodness You should-you should taste that And you ain't living until you're living for his name Yeah, Glory I'mma chase that, I'mma I'mma chase that
