Chase That
[Verse 1]Started with hangin’ posters on my bedroom walls To battle rappin’ 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 a hoop dream If I don’t blow up then maybe I’ll try this school thing I went to college to do my family a favorBut 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 me writin’ 16’s over Mickey D’s Skippin’ class, makin’ beats, over 60 keys And I love that even though I’m just chasin’ Selfish ambition couldn’t tell your boy naythin’ Watch out all you rappers cuz they finna let ‘Crae in But I was sleepin’ on the Son, like a Days Inn
[Hook]And you can have the money, and you can have the fame For me I want the glory, I’m livin’ for the Name See life is just a picture, I see outside the frame I’m livin’ for a Kingdom that I ain’t never seen And I’ma chase that, I’ma I’ma chase that Found the key to life and best believe that I’ma play that Glory I’ma chase that, I’ma I’ma chase that Glory I’ma chase that, I’ma I’ma chase that
[Verse 2] I remember chasin’ the green, feelin’ blue Only check I’m countin’ is the mic check, 1-2 All I wanted was the money and the fame and a 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 hardShootin’ for the moon but there’s only one sun [Son], no co-star Chasin’ glory I shouldn’t own Instead of living to make his name known I’m runnin’ after his throne I thought bein’ 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 wanted to be I’m too worried ‘bout the Lord gettin’ credit instead of me
[Hook]And you can have the money, and you can have the fame For me I want the glory, I’m livin’ for the Name See life is just a picture, I see outside the frame I’m livin’ for a Kingdom that I ain’t never seen And I’ma chase that, glory I’ma chase that Found the key to life and best believe that I’ma play that Glory I’ma chase that, I’ma I’ma chase that Glory I’ma chase that, I’ma I’ma chase that
[Verse 3] I used to wanna do it big When you’re only focused on yourself that’s small And they, they used to tell me as a kid That I could do anything that I want, except fall And now that I recall, I was chasin’ 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 makin’ 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 chasin’ his He lies to us all, told Adam he could ball “Why you followin’ God when you could go get it all?” I’ll tell you what’s better, or better yet worse Chasin’ your own glory by doin’ 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 nothin’ to be ashamed of, we gave it up for the Savior
[Hook] I’ma chase that, I’ma I’ma chase that And the Lord’s goodness, you should you should taste that And you ain’t livin’ till you livin’ for his name, yeah Glory I’ma chase that, I’ma I’ma chase that
