Mona Lisa

I wish that I could change your mind, yeah

But there's some things that I can't do, no

Yeah, that's alright with me, that's alright

'Cause I know you'll never see all of the beauty in my flaws

Forgive me for them all, I need the Lord to be my Mona Lisa

They call this emotion rap, what's rap without emotions

Magician wit these flows, what's magic without a potion

Tryin' to start the next commotion, water for your ocean

Like a door jammed stuck, I'm tryna get ya mind open

Only think positive, my mind be on that proton

Floatin over negativity, these jimmy neutrons

Are cartoon characters, watchin them get confused on

The fact that I'm successful despite their attempts to do wrong

And they can't get that can't nobody stop my progress

I love on all my haters, I out maneuver like himelec

And I get happy when these people say my name

In negative or positive, to me it's really all the same

All it does is let me know that bein' great comes wit the games

But I been drafted by my God, and most of y'all still tryna train

One day you'll get to where I am and slowly graduate

From livin life for silly things to livin life just for a king, and that's real

I wish that I could change your mind, yeah

But there's some things that I can't do, no

Yeah, that's alright with me, that's alright

'Cause I know you'll never see all of the beauty in my flaws

Forgive me for them all, I need the Lord to be my Mona Lisa

And people askin what's Christian about my raps

They ain't heard the name Jesus, so I'm just another wak

Emcee tryna say that I believe when I still lack

The right amount of Jesus in my tracks… What?

Please tell me you don't think that makes a song Christian

Saying just a name and nothin else is just religion

Power comes from what you do behind the proper diction

So I don't even have to say the name to bring conviction

People wanna feel love, not judgement from the righteous

Even sayin half these things I know that I just might get

Hated on by all the ones offended, oh, so pious

But this ain't for the prideful, this is for the ones relying

On a Jesus who ain't come to hate the gays and be so violent

A savior who can forgive your abortion and ya crimes when

He came to save every one of us despite our lying

We need you, Lord, there's no one who'll deny it, and I promise that's real

I wish that I could change your mind, yeah

But there's some things that I can't do, no

Yeah, that's alright with me, that's alright

'Cause I know you'll never see all of the beauty in my flaws

Forgive me for them all, I need the Lord to be my Mona Lisa

And I don't know if this will even make my album

'Cause this ain't CCN, this is love witta different outcome

This is too loud, they want me to turn it down some

But it's the perfect volume for the streets to gather round some

And my enemies tellin me who I am

Like they can write the pages of my life with their hands

I'm far beyond they reach, like they 10 tryna slam

And my mind on a level they can't even comprehend

This my offering, pick it up like a church do

Immigrant flow 'cause I always outwork you

All night grindin while they style gotta curfew

Hungry for the truth, take a seat, let me serve you
