Gravity

[Intro: Lecrae] It’s Gravity Keeps pullin’ me down Pullin' me down... [Verse 1: Lecrae] 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 got the power to make it through this parade The workers can't keep the profit - everything here is vain My job is oppressive, I strive for my blessings 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 getting’ 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 [Hook: 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, ooh one day! I want to go Somewhere where there’s no gravity [Verse 2: 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 Yo’ 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'mma 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 preaching 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! [Hook]
