Father, We Need You (feat. T O M I)

Hey Jack, Jack! You listening to me? What, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah The Word of God says that Seek first the kingdom of God and its righteousness And then every other thing is added unto you Listen, you can't run life bro You can't run life without God, you get lost So all these things you're looking for, you gotta seek God first Father, we need you We lost without you Won't you fill me up Father, fill the cup of my soul now Abba, I need you Been off without you Won't you fill me up Cuz I can't build enough on my own now Father, we need you We lost without you Won't you fill me up Father, fill the cup of my soul now Abba, I need you Been off without you Won't you fill me up Cuz I can't build enough on my own now Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil Look I been thinking, analyzing the world Now it seems our queens even feel their feelings gotta be burrowed It's lil' girls and boys, they even in the burbs flipping like coins Smoking poison tryna keep their poise And it's wars in the middle east Not to mention civil wars in the streets Fox never covers that, weird right? It's real life in the land of the free And we abandon them and treat 'em like they bandits and thieves It's understandable, we far from the Son like Jupiter Spitting out the prophecies of Lucifer They take away your humanness, they giving everyone a diagnosis And if you believe it it'll ruin ya So I just try to focus, even when it feels like I am hopeless Diving in the Word, knowing someone higher wrote this I know my emotions, they could lie So I don't look for answers I just look for your reply, yelling Father, we need you We lost without you Won't you fill me up Father, fill the cup of my soul now Abba, I need you Been off without you Won't you fill me up Cuz I can't build enough on my own now Father, we need you We lost without you Won't you fill me up Father, fill the cup of my soul now Abba, I need you Been off without you Won't you fill me up Cuz I can't build enough on my own now So if it says, "seek first the kingdom of heaven and its righteousness" It means seek the kingdom of heaven, and the life of Christ Only in that can you have peace Only in that can you have security in your life So this has to be a relentless pursuit This has to be the posture of your heart when you wake up Every day Alright, I got it look I be still and just remember you God (Be still) I look up for confirmation you nod You always there to respond Cuz I was lost The world tried to label me criminal Tried to label me failure But you said they was wrong Even when I was so angry I would curse at my mom And I was rolling up the sour, tryna patch up my arms Had my wrists bleeding I was selling drugs Running from the cops Even dropped up outta college by the third weekend I was dirt poor I was living out my civic Every time the weed hit me I would hurt more But you still saw, everything I couldn't see Cuz you knew the me that I couldn't be Anyway one night I'm drunk driving Someone else car trunk lower than my eyelids Whyling, see the blue lights and the sirens Next thing I know police at the door asking where I been Wasn't even carrying I license Had to start lying "I was at my friend Kenny crib, but this ride isn't mine though Its his, in the backseat He ain't drunk or nothing that's his girlfriend beside him" Crazy thing about it, it was Thanksgiving Eve "You don't have no ID? Write your name on the sheet" I thought about the weed, in the seat And my BAC We were five deep, squeezed inna hooptie I was kicked out my momma crib And the same day, I had split up with my girl, I ain't had nowhere to be I thought about spending Thanksgiving in a cell, I aint no one to call "God please" See the cop walking back, looking mad aggressive Looking at possession, DUI, and a sentence Weed smell, probable cause, to pull me out Once I'm out, I'll be be walking the line And then forget it I'm shivering, lip quivering Never felt so alone But this wasn't no time to be whimpering Had to face it all like a man This is what I was, just a criminal, nobody understands Your license checks out, have a good night You kids get home safe
