New Dreams

I was taught that living the good life meant getting everything I could

But I've been shown a brand new picture of the good life, and it's glorious

Aye I was raised in that lone star state where we go hard

Can't do it small at all, 'cause big things our state

My dreams as a buck was to make 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 little older, and went after the latter

Grind until I shine, trying to climb that ladder

Grab a couple girls, 'cause your boy looked dapper

But at a young age, saw that I had it wrong

Full of drive, but moving in reverse all along

Dreams full of pride, heart full of stone

You know I had to redefine what I grind on

Success is dangerous if you don't do it right

He gave us everything for pointing to him right

So toast to the king who gave me some new dreams

Everything for his name, that's how I do things

Never knew how lost I was 'till I found out

That I couldn't hear his voice, it was drowned out

I was chasing things, selfish dreams

Now I see what he has for me

It's the good life

(Wake up!) I grew up with those dodgers and those angels

When wings get mangled and they rock a broken halo

Success is an idol from Hollywood to Diego

No hablo if you don't speak with the pesos

And their favorite 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 kissing 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 chasing those things that are real fake

This is not a real place, this is a dream state

Functional saviors ain't hip, their a real waste

What's the palace going off without a major king

Pain, sorrow, and empty treasures

Spite the creator and deem creation simply better

The world offers is lot of things, but it's really lying

And to the Lord, the good life is really dying

I'm the Lord's possession, so my heart's in the heavens'

True religion in my Jeans, I stop guessing

Never knew how lost I was 'till I found out

That I couldn't hear his voice, it was drowned out

I was chasing things, selfish dreams

Now I see what he has for me

It's the good life

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 coming for us all, everything's gonna pass

So look at it from that angle down

My dreams gotta be bigger and greater than that

I was with the persecuted martyrs in Asia

Were living out their dreams, though they was walking in danger

Their dreams were lifting up the heart of the savior

And living in a way that shows that he's all that they wait for

One's stacking up the cake, but one's walking in favor

Living a good life, 'cause they walk with the maker

My dreams are different; you know that I've been changed now

The good life is the life that's been laid down.

The good life
