Gravity
Intro (Lecrae):It’s GravityKeeps pullin’ me down
Verse 1 (Lecrae):I pen songs for the perishin’ and parishionersThem hearers and them listeners, the home and the visitorsThis is not a game, you can't tame or make it purtyThey say the earth cursed, so our mouths stay dirtyThere’s mud on the track, a slug in ya’ backPolice done pulled you over wit’ a gun in ya’ lapAnd you ain't the power to make it through this paradeThe workers can't keep the profit - everything here is vainMy job oppressive, I strive for my blessin’sThe pastor so corrupt it's hard to ride with his messageRiches destroy the owners, the government think they own usMy onus is to keep the police from ridin’ all up on usLeavin’ money to kids who spend it on getting’ blitzSay, what's the point of livin’ to give it up in the endThen again, all my sin has been pinned to the crossI know I'm free forever from this land of the lost
Hook (J.R.):Yeah, every time I think I’m flyingI’m just fallingSo close to touching the skyBut gravity keeps pulling me back downBut I can’t stay here foreverI want to go, ooh one day!I want to goSomewhere where there’s no gravity
Verse 2 (Lecrae):Somebody told me there was no such thing as truthI said, “If that's the case then why should I believe you?”Murder, money, and mayhem, every place that I lay inMy problems follow suit, I'm tailor-made for this, ain't I?It’s deep. You wanna go deep? I’ll take you deepReality is really just cheapYo’ eyes wide open apparently, but you sleepAnd everything you have in your hands you’ll never keepSo why hold on, I flow on to go on, before long I float onEternal life is what I'm thinkin’ I'mma bank my hope onBelieve me, easy is irrelevantThe devil want us burning for the hell of itElephants in the room say we can't talk about impending doomOr we gospel rappin’ or preaching people out of they shoesIt’s cool, I'll be that dude. We glued to our depravity,Until somebody free us from this gravity. Fly!
[Hook]
