[Intro: Joel Osteen] I wanna talk to you today about the right people Who you spend your time with will have a great impact on what kind of life you live There are people God has already ordained to come across our path to helps fulfill our destiny People that inspire us, challenge us, make us better The right people have already been lined up But here's the key: If you're spending time with the wrong people, you'll never meet the right ones If you're hanging around people that are not going any place, people that are dragging you down, cause you to compromise, draining your energy, then you're going to get stuck You can't hang out with chickens and expect to soar with eagles You're going to become like the people you continually associate with You wanna know what you're gonna be like in 5 years? Look at your friends If your friends are going places, have a spirit of excellence, kind, generous, courteous, then those qualities are going to rub off on you [Verse 1: Slim Thug] Gotta get these blessings So tired of stressing Learning new lessons Planning questions It's time for testing Never ever resting I'mma stay grinding So I stay shining like a diamond I'mma stay climbing to the next level And do time and Trying to line up with them bosses Trying to soar high with them eagles Can't chill with none of you chickens I'm tray get rich with my people Too high to see you haters Too blessed to play y'all mind I ain't got nothing to be mad at I'm drop head top down Thank you, God, all the time for helping me live my dreams And for exposing all of those who wasn't right for my team I'mma keep receiving this games If it's for the better, I'll change Only live once, better do it right I'm trying to leave a legacy, man [Interlude 1: Joel Osteen] Complainers find other complainers That's the saying - birds of a feather flock together My challenge is simple, make sure you're flocking to the right group Victorious people associate with other victorious people Winners hang out with winners Happy people around other happy people Eagles soar with other eagles We don't like change We want it to be just like it was when we were hanging out, growing up together But it's a new day You have children, you have parents to take care of You have more responsibility [Verse 2: Slim Thug] It's a new day I got kids to feed Plus, I got needs, understand that, please Before you try to blame me By being greedy, I'm just trying to be all I can be You should've stayed down instead of knocking game Now you're on the sideline watching me Feeling like I'm where you're supposed to be Man, cause you ain't see what I see I put God first and went and got it See, I came in the game focused You was playing games in the projects Got tired of being at the bottom Trying to take my family to the top Only wanna work with them winners And keep raising up my stock You still posted on the same block Trying to move work out the same spot Treating jail like it's in and out And every time you get out, you got your hand out I don't know what your new plan, but But it ain't working if you're still hurting No more excuses, no more complaining Just praying hard with hard working [Interlude 2: Joel Osteen] But just because somebody is related to you, doesn't mean they're connected to you They may have your blood, but they don't have your spirit They may not have heard the call God put on your life This doesn't make them a bad person It just means God has a different assignment for them Maybe they're at a different level in their growth, but they're not right for you in this season This is one of the hardest things we have to deal with Letting go of people that are not supposed to be in our lives [Verse 3: Slim Thug] Can't let you slow me down Can't let you slow me down Can't let you hold me down Can't let you hold me down If you ain't trying to get better Better move around If you ain't helping, you hurting I'm trying to chase that crown I pray for success I pray you're blessed I pray for your best But all the stress that you brought in my life I lost all respect We family, so it's all good I ain't tripping, I'll still speak But the trust has been broken I [?] working with me Being by myself, I'm at peace I'm too old to be out on these streets I gotta take care of my kids I ain't got time to have beef I just got time to do me And see what's next out there for me to see Ain't trying to block my blessings So I listen to God when he speaks [Interlude 3: Joel Osteen] Bottom line, don't hold on to what God is asking you to walk away from Another thought, you shouldn't spend a lot of time with people that are always negative, people that are constantly discouraged, you gotta keep them cheered up, keep them fixed Now, I'm all for helping people, I'm all for being a blessing Sometimes we have to love people back into wholeness But if you're always giving and never receiving, that's an unhealthy relationship You need to gradually make a change
