[Intro]
Earn your stripes just like the—
Yeah, O-C-O-E-E
Ayy, 2000, E-S-T
Mm, runnin' out
[Verse]
Ayy, 'bout to earn my stripes just like the referee
Read the testament 'cause I know He be testin' me, uhn
Devil tryna take my thoughts, tryna arrest the peace
I let God take the wheel, I can't do everything
Can't see the future or the past, I'm in this present thing
Can't fabricate my peace 'cause that's what Yo' presence bring
I should sit up in Yo' prеsence then
Uh, lеad me by the still waters where it never ends
I would always go to the altar and say that prayer again
Way that I was livin', I thought You weren't lettin' me in
To Yo' heaven's gates, to Yo' sacred place
I lie in front of Yo' face and then I go and sin again
I can't believe Yo' grace amazin', it done brought me in
How You persuade without persuasion, lure 'em all in?
I be askin' You, like Lord, what if I fall again?
You told me, "Try again, try again, try again"
So many times, I would lie again and lie again
I never thought that I would fly again, fly again
I told You I'd never get high again, high again
Then Yo' presence took me higher than I ever been
I said Yo' presence took me higher than I ever seen
This royalty, that's how we steppin' when you with the king
My only weapon is the script', so I'ma let it swing
We gon' build it brick by brick until we got a team
When you want it quick, watch how quick it leave
Uhn, they be quick to quit when they don't see the leaves
Yeah, uh, yeah, I just go with the flow, I just move with the breeze
How you gon' start the whip if you ain't got the keys?
This kingdom talk, lil' holy boy, ambassador
If that ain't yo' girl then why you runnin' after her?
I found the one and she a keeper, so I fasten her
Just like a seat belt when I put it on, I fasten her
When I need help, I'm just callin' on the one I know
When He don't answer, I just leave a message at the tone
Ain't no competition, you should know who on the throne
The one who sittin' way up high and then He lookin' low
It's crazy, I ain't have a dollar, now, I'm bookin' shows
The author writin' in my book, I ain't finished, though
It's crazy that we doin' all this, independent road
We gon' change the industry using the kingdom code
Earn your stripes just like the—
