Reverse

Livin' in (reverse) [x16] [Hook:] Why is the monster taller than ever, while the weak fade away? When justice storms, and darkness flees, I'm reminded on that day The last shall be... (first), the first shall be... (last) [x3] The last shall be... (Livin' in, livin' in reverse) And everything's in reverse [Verse 1:] Livin' with the end in mind, something like the president I was livin' for the moment, tryin' to own it, residence Believe in Him, that's the last thing I done ever chose Gimme that rag top, trey on them chosen vogue (I rode) That '67 Chevy my cousin drove on them golden spokes?

(Livin' in, livin' in reverse) And everything's in reverse [Verse 2:] Man all I ever wanted, was to be labeled the greatest Cassius Clay on spittin' rhymes while rockin' the lastest But that crept into my life in Christ, it was evident As I debate how I was better than the rest of them Work-based righteousness; base my worth on some type of list and If I keep it or not perfected every night since this Now, I'm looking for approval, and I'm selfish! So all I want to do is try to out do you Silent when you ask me. Later I'm bragging like a fool Far from His image and couldn't see it. Where is the Zoom? It's His grace in my moment of reproof. That helps me see the truth Just how I sound; no auto-tune And in this life the last will be first and the first is last And He's a servant to the end. We certain of that That's what I heard; freedom from the curse Livin' to it hurts, but the latter doesn't matter when you in reverse [Hook:] Why is the monster taller than ever, while the weak fade away?
