[00:14.262]We watched it all go to ashes
[00:17.611]I'd prayed for days like a last stretch
[00:20.948]Can't we go back to the magic? (Oh-oh)
[00:27.533]The berries turn and they twist
[00:30.921]Don't tell me that was the last kiss
[00:34.286]Well, if it was, it was classic
[00:37.712]That brings me peace of mind
[00:42.211]Believe in miracles
[00:45.729]There's a reason for
[00:49.014]How the scene unfolds
[00:51.341]Don't stop wishin'
[00:55.517]Believe in miracles
[00:59.052]Every season goes
[01:02.410]We can start again
[01:27.751]Uh, look, uh
[01:29.258]We gotta find the place
[01:31.312]Shit, maybe it's near the stars
[01:34.372]Where we can feel safe
[01:35.428]Maybe only way to make it to the light is through the dark
[01:38.659]Uh, but are you following the flames?
[01:41.204]Hmm, like a tail chasing a dog
[01:44.321]A lotta shit been rough
[01:45.657]Harder than tough, but it's nothin', just place your faith within God, yeah
[01:49.013]Uh, uh
[01:50.382]Heaven was Hell and vice-a versa, a verse of vices
[01:53.072]Writin' in cursive, the grind of a author, definin' purpose
[01:56.044]Talkin' to himself, walkin' in circles
[01:57.873]In a secluded cabin somewhere cold, no phone service
[02:01.244]So un-sober, smokin' somethin' he purchased from a grower that he knows
[02:04.665]And like sand to the beach, he brought some blow to the snow
[02:07.206]Kind of right on the nose
[02:08.511]Tryna find the light for years, he feels tired and it shows
[02:11.232]Rivalin' his peers, overthinkin', playin' right into the spirits
[02:14.269]Extinguish all the fire, disappeared
[02:16.215]But he don't see nothin' admired in the mirror
[02:18.692]He's silently insecure, sniffin' white lines, pure
[02:21.172]Writin' a line, sniff a white line, pure
[02:23.046]Writin' a line, sniff a white line, pure
[02:24.892]And it's like a cycle, it's fear
[02:26.303]You read the Bible much? It's givin' much required to steer
[02:28.905]Battlin' life, he lost his before he conquered his fear
[02:31.424]What if Heaven was Hell and vice-a versa? A verse of vices
[02:34.406]Very immersive, the verbiage a bit divisive
[02:36.924]Over-determined, overtime, workin' in silence
[02:39.559]Searchin' for purpose till you feel the perfect alignment
[02:42.102]Clowns in a circus, circle around, you been in bondage
[02:44.738]Breakin' in burglars, stealin' swag, she steady climbin'
[02:47.218]Speakin' encouragement to the family, it's by design
[02:49.544]And she wearin' designer, learn to see life on the other side
[02:52.153]**** if Heaven was Hell
[02:53.254]Never rebel from the side of God, you been led to prevail
[02:55.862]Followin' idols that's falsified is the deadliest trail
[02:58.334]She kept her mind and eyes on the prize for the better of self
[03:00.897]Instead of regrettin' whatever's dealt, what an elegant tale
[03:03.529]Simplest life, husband and wife with the pride on the shelf
[03:06.042]Is somethin' I like, and I think it's time to retire my belt
[03:08.737]Tryna write a happy ending story, while I'm seein' somethin' more than Heaven, Hell, or Purgatory
[03:12.100]Uh, we gotta find the place
[03:14.561]Shit, maybe it's near the stars
[03:17.600]Where we can feel safe
[03:18.677]Maybe only way to make it to the light is through the dark
[03:21.899]Uh, but are you following the flames?
[03:24.411]Hmm, like a tail chasing a dog
[03:27.567]A lotta shit been rough
[03:28.860]Harder than tough, but it's nothin', just place your faith within God, yeah, uh
[03:34.161]It's a place not made with hands
[03:36.598]Alright, it's a place I said that if you believe, it has your name on it
[03:41.215]I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to seeing this place
[03:45.934]I'm looking forward to that safe house
[03:48.989]I can't wait to get there, can't you?
[03:51.553]I can't wait to be in that place
[04:14.928]Uh, look
[04:16.466]All I wanted was some money since a snotty nose
[04:19.060]All the **** that I know with dough left the hood and didn't tell us, "Adiós"
[04:22.974]I was takin' notes
[04:23.985]Even seen the preacher on the TV tell me, "Sinners, $199.99," and he can save our soul
[04:29.113]Say it ain't so, **** done sold us down the road
[04:31.368]But I know God give the heaviest load to the strongest soldiers
[04:34.455]And if I know this, I might as well assume the role
[04:37.033]And try and lead us to the land and milk and honey, word to Moses
[04:39.996]I got mixed emotions, cross-faded, hit the dope and mix the potions
[04:43.427]Daily devotions on my nightstand by the different strands of violas
[04:46.937]Violets, blue blood droppin', it's red as the roses
[04:49.796]**** shootin', not a movie, but you dead in the focus
[04:52.661]Step in the light 'cause in the night, it gets dark as the ocean
[04:55.600]Beau in LeBlanc, hit the blunt as we parked in the cul-de'
[04:58.341]Sack in his pockets, said that one day, we takin' this over
[05:01.203]Nodded my head, spinned the block, and looked over my shoulder
[05:04.127]And you was there for me but carefully placed, truth was darin' me, starin' death in the face
[05:08.386]Look in the way when I was stuck in the space, stumblin', bend, but nothin' would break
[05:12.460]Titanium, tough as they make (Talk shit)
[05:14.451]In the lion's den, I resembled David, I repent the sin
[05:17.589]I return to sender every shot, ****, 'cause many men
[05:20.289]Wished upon black breath
[05:21.715]Dell Curry, I can raise a 30, but it's not Steph
[05:23.857]You ain't really got the chops, crank it up a notch, cookin' with the top chef
[05:27.127]I gotta watch myself, a beautiful life, a ugly cycle, I gotta stop myself
[05:31.236]I'm bleedin', takin' a beatin', we come from the Bible Belt
[05:34.062]Indeed, I never could leave it, I'm seein' nobody to help
[05:36.861]Strategic that you the reasonin', achieved, they didn't believe in him
[05:39.781]Succeed, I swim in the deep again, I'm sinkin', when can I breathe again?
[05:42.977]The fatigue is settin' in, I can speak in telekinesis
[05:45.282]Tellin' God what I need, I fall on my knees, then stand on my feet
[05:47.666]I'm back on the road, the sinner repent and repeat, the sinner repent and repeat
[05:50.512]The sinner repent
[05:51.438]I gotta see it through until it's finished, we all got a sentence we up against
[05:54.022]Blank period, where the parentheses? I been searchin' for somethin' with substance
[05:56.961]I'm clearly comin' up with nothing
[05:58.403]But **** it, I'll go where the love is, I think that's the play
[06:01.203]I might've found it, yeah
[06:03.085]This guy came, he thinks he a prophet
[06:06.245]And he says, picked us out of the whole church
[06:09.890]"That couple right there"
[06:12.871]Called us up to the front of the church, I was
[06:16.438]I was still high from bein' out all night (Yeah)
[06:20.682]And he says, "God say you all ain't gon' have to worry 'bout nothin'
[06:27.333]What you need to remember is not you that got us this good
[06:32.781]It was the Lord God Almighty"
[06:34.841]I'll never forget that
