New Dreams

[00:04.42] I was taught, that living the good life meant getting everything I could
[00:11.62] But I've been shown a brand new picture of the good life
[00:16.54] And it's glorious
[00:20.76] Aye I was raised in that lone star state where we go hard
[00:23.27] Can't do it small at all, 'cause big things our state
[00:26.49] My dreams as a buck was to make a large bank
[00:28.88] Daddy told me be the best, no one can tell me I can't
[00:31.82] Be the best baller, or be the best rapper
[00:34.42] Got a little older, and went after the latter
[00:37.18] Grind until I shine, trying to climb that ladder
[00:39.78] Grab a couple girls, 'cause your boy looked dapper
[00:42.60] But at a young age, saw that I had it wrong
[00:45.40] Full of drive, but moving in reverse all along
[00:48.16] Dreams full of pride, heart full of stone
[00:50.63] You know I had to redefine what I grind on
[00:53.26] Success is dangerous if you don't do it right
[00:55.92] He gave us everything for pointing to him right
[00:58.55] So toast to the king who gave me some new dreams
[01:01.45] Everything for his name, that's how I do things
[01:03.68] Never knew how lost I was till I found out
[01:08.97] That I couldn't hear his voice, it was drowned out
[01:13.56] I was chasing things, selfish dreams
[01:18.87] Now I see what he has for me
[01:22.56] It's the good life
[01:25.12] (Wake up!) I grew up with those dodgers and those angels
[01:27.51] When wings get mangled and they rock a broken halo
[01:30.25] Success is an idol from Hollywood to Diego
[01:33.24] No hablo if you don't speak with the pesos
[01:35.98] And their favorite dollar sign is too much
[01:38.35] More greed, more lust, more taste, more touch
[01:40.99] I had an appetite that ate from the devil's power
[01:43.42] With every bite 'to see him rise
[01:44.88] I'm kissing my life goodbye
[01:46.53] If I find I have a need this world cannot meet
[01:48.98] Then I know this life is a place where my hope should not be
[01:52.25] I've been chasing those things that are real fake
[01:54.33] This is not a real place, this is a dream state
[01:57.17] Functional saviors ain't hip, their a real waste
[01:59.87] What's the palace going off without a major king
[02:02.45] Pain, sorrow, and empty treasures
[02:05.06] Spite the creator and deem creation simply better
[02:07.76] The world offers is lot of things, but it's really lying
[02:10.45] And to the Lord, the good life is really dying
[02:13.06] I'm the Lord's possession, so my heart's in the heavens'
[02:15.62] True religion in my Jeans, I stop guessing
[02:18.99] Never knew how lost I was 'till I found out
[02:23.23] That I couldn't hear his voice, it was drowned out
[02:28.95] I was chasing things, selfish dreams
[02:33.04] Now I see what he has for me
[02:36.78] It's the good life
[02:40.99]
[02:45.03] Even the sun goes down, heroes die eventually
[02:47.92] Great careers end in the industry
[02:49.24] Empires implode; you may go down in history
[02:51.70] But everything will go down eventually
[02:54.88] Look, you can stack bread, but you can't stop death
[02:57.97] And there will be no comforter for you in that bed
[03:01.42] We all get laid out, the games get played out
[03:02.83] In a maze headed to the grave, and there's no way out
[03:05.62] You can't outlast life, it fades out fast
[03:08.11] Death is coming for us all, everything's gonna pass
[03:11.19] So look at it from that angle down
[03:13.41] My dreams gotta be bigger and greater than that
[03:16.43] I was with the persecuted martyrs in Asia
[03:18.77] Were living out their dreams, though they was walking in danger
[03:21.35] Their dreams were lifting up the heart of the savior
[03:24.12] And living in a way that shows that he's all that they wait for
[03:26.62] One's stacking up the cake, but one's walking in favor
[03:29.38] Living a good life, 'cause they walk with the maker
[03:31.99] My dreams are different; you know that I've been changed now
[03:35.00] The good life is the life that's been laid down
[03:38.73] (The life that's been laid down)
[03:41.16] The good life
[03:43.26] (The good life is the life that's been laid down)
[03:45.69] Yeah it's the good life
[03:49.64]
[03:51.72] The good life
[03:54.78] (The good life is the life that's been laid down)
[03:56.28] Yeah it's the good life
[03:58.18]
