New dreams

I was told
That livin' the good life meant gettin' everything I could
But I've been shown a brand new picture of the good life
And it's glorious

Ey, I was raised in that lonestar state where we go hard
Can't do it small, at all, 'cause big things our state
My dream as a buck was to have a large bank
Daddy told me "Be the best", no one can tell me I can't
Be the best baller, or be the best rapper
Got a lil' older and went after the latter
Grind till I shine, tryna climb that ladder
Grab a couple girls, 'cause ya boy looked dapper
But at a young age I saw I had it from
Full of drive, but movin' in reverse all alone
Dreams full of pride, heart full of stone
You know I had to redefine when I grind on
Success is dangerous if you don't do it right
He gave us everything for pointin' to Him right
So toast to the King who gave me some new dreams
Everything for His name, that's how I do things

J.R.:

Never knew how lost I was
Till I found out
That I couldn't hear His voice clear
Was drowned out
I was chasing things
Selfish dreams
Now I see what He has for me
Yeah, that's the good life

Sho Baraka:

I grew up with those doctrines and those angles
When wings get mangled, and they rock a broken helo
Success is an idol from Hollywood to Daygo
No eye blowin' if you don't speak with the pesos
And their favourite dollar sign is too much
More greed, more lust, more taste, more touch
I had an appetite that ate from the devil's power
With every bite to see him rise I'm kissin' my life goodbye
If I find I have a need this world cannot meet
Then I know this life is a place where my hope should not be
I've been chasin' those things that are real fake
This is not a real place, this is a dream state
Functional saviors ain't hip, they're a real waste
What's the palace goin' off without a major King?
Pain, sorrow, and empty treasures
Spite the creator and deem creation simply better
The world offers a lot of things but it's really lyin'
And to the Lord the good life is really dyin'
I'm the Lord's possession, so my heart to the Heavens
True religion in my jeans, and stop guessin'

J.R.:

Never knew how lost I was
Till I found out
That I couldn't hear His voice clear
Was drowned out
I was chasing things
Selfish dreams
Now I see what He has for me
Yeah, that's the good life

Trip Lee:

Even the sun goes down, heroes die eventually
Great careers, end in the industry
Empires implode, you may go down in history
But everything will go down eventually
Look, you can stack bread, but you can't stop death
And there will be no comforter for you in that bed
We all get laid out, the games get played out
In a maze headed to the grave, and there's no way out
You can't outlast life, it fades out fast
Death is comin' for us all, everything' gon' pass
So look at it from that angle down
My dreams gotta be bigger and greater than that
I was with persecuted martyrs in Asia
We're livin' out their dreams, though they was walkin' in danger
Their dreams were liftin' up the heart of the Savior
And livin' in a way that shows He's all that they wait for
One's stackin' up the cake, but one's walkin' in favor
Livin' a good life, 'cause they walk with the maker
But dreams are different, you know that I've been changed now
The good life is the life that's been laid down
