yakithekid - the calm before lyrics

[verse]
you know the saying, “the calm before the storm”?
well this is just that, bro i’m strapping up for war
and this is just facts, finna level up the score
get excited when i go to press record
cuz i know that this is more
than just a song, this like an open door
to the highest places of the realm beyond the norm
this music is my ministry, i’m talking to the lord
this is healing for my soul and also yours
boy i hope you feel these words on the page and you know who to praise
the spirit’s in these lyrics, it’s the son i obey
that’s why i move reluctant when i’m offеred up a stage
gotta do it for the onе who beat the grave, but can i say i feel a way?
hope you don’t mind the truth i’m ’bout to state
but sometimes i struggle with the timing god decide to take
on the one hand, i am hungry, asking god to slide a plate
on the other, i am humble, god i thank you for your grace
cuz you done made a way for a sinner out the grave
gave a table seat that i could not attain, my life is forever changed
so you feel me when i say i feel ashamed to ask you if my dreams could be arranged?
cuz you know i wanna change the entire world through music in a game
where the foundation is sin and the whole nation is chained
it’s a shame, the celebrities are prisoners on display
seeing slaves, and i ain’t talking ‘bout the early usa, dang
look how we sell our soul for power and some change
except the power’s out, and all the money was a fake
you not a powerhouse, you just a goofy with a chain
paid a hunnid thou to try and mask the pain, but i know you feel a way
cuz these dollars ain’t gone buy a private plane that could fly you on a one_way to the pearly gates
and these women ain’t gon’ give enough pleasure to erase all the loneliness you feel when your soul is not awake
and i know you tryna heal with all these sodas that you make
sippin’ lean, sending smoke signals up in mary jane
but it ain’t gon’ do the job, that ain’t a path that you should take
gotta put your faith in god, he has offered you escape
pardon that lengthy tangent, but i say all that to say
this life is not how you plan it, it’s how well you can obey
and that’s something that i wrestle with every single day
as i was saying god, you see my heart and know just what i crave, right?
and i don’t hate it when you say i gotta hang tight
but how much hanging happens ‘fore you realize that the paint dried?
this is your canvas, i know you don’t make mistakes
but i see this gift you gave and there’s a reason that i’m way nice
i’d like to think that there’s a season where we break ice and finally surface
propagating change, shaking up the game, and stepping on these snakes
put respect on jesus name
i got flames, but if a candle’s what he made, then it ain’t time
but lord, you see my struggle and i can’t lie
yes this is a ministry, but possibly, respectfully
if this was to become your servant’s whole career eventually
i wouldn’t be opposed if that’s the way that you directed me
i just wanna know if that’s okay to want progression, see
i know you want the best for me, i’m sticking with your recipe
i’m cooking with the greatest so of course i see potential
if my ego is inflated, humble me inside my mental
but i think that i’m ready, i know this is something special
like the first day of class, watch me sharpen my utensils
prepping for these tests, ain’t expecting f’s
i put in the labor, now i got a lightsaber for a pencil
burning through these pages, diggin’ graves for instrumentals
how ironic, for the one who beat the grave i’m instrumental
legacies are vain, everybody fade
so if i disappear without a trace, i hope jesus was the stencil
[outro]
you know the saying, “the calm before the storm”?
well this is just that, bro i’m strapping up for war
and this is just facts, finna level up the score
get excited when i go to press record
