lirik lagu the wiz (rapper) - on you go
[verse 1]
i heard the beat and i ain’t know what to say
then i got a word from god, he said christ on the way
so i’m here to slay like nick, all saints and fully autos
keep the bottles i’m spinning 7’s like rigged lottos
christ the model, paid off my debts like a car note
ain’t have to barrow, no lease, his path i follow
done with the sorrow, only joy fills my tomorrows
no gelato, my spirit sharp like a staccato
like el dorado i’m searchin’ for the land of gold
the milk and honey i’m grabbing more than i can hold
more than i can bear put that on god like “i swear”
gotta quit the back and forth like a rockin’ chair
“i” have suffered many years, “and” i shed so many tears
“for” the life that i wanted “but” i couldn’t find it
can’t rewind it like a vhs, the pain and stress
that i suppressed, just to please and impress
no less, the conflicts have reached a fever pitch
so like an octave it’s time to flip and switch
to the church, the pews, the prayers and the prophets
starting to think too much focus is on the wallet
we all into self, not the well being of the soul
lining pockets with pride, prejudice and control
feel our spirit’s in a hole, and its hard get out
the sunken place of my heart, i swear its full of doubt
as i shout from within my mind, how can i change it
responsible for youth but feel like we’re all in danger
like we’re losing our way, lord just keep me ever faithful
never hateful always grateful steady stable cause your able
got no label like i’m unsigned, souls at stake like crunch time
serving only the greatest y’all better hop in the lunch line
yelling mama we made it when all my people got baptized
here to master these rhymes and these teachings call me the rabbi
not your typical rap guy, when in the booth you know i’m
tryna build up a case for the kingdom just like it’s matlock
yeah i’m hungry but no fox, devil swiping with sharp claws
he wanna hit me but miss me with all of that, i know god
yeah i know god, but no lie i struggle
tryna stay humble and find my peace just like a puzzle
but there are times when i slip and fall like a tumble
just to get back on my feet ready for any rumble
yeah they say they love you, until the times are hard
and y’all no longer see eye to eye, so you as good as gone
a bond that’s seen as strong but can be easily dissolved
by distrust, and miscommunication all along
what do you do when you feel you losing at ya life?
when everything is wrong and nothing’s ever right?
do you quit without a fight, throw in the towel and cry foul
lay down arms, give up the whole battle
or do you step up, full of faith and rep up
prayer hands locked and loaded for intercessions
sinful ways dropped and quoted in your confessions
giveaway like sweepstakes the prize is your possessions
that’s a lesson, from the book of job
my mans lost it all, everything he’d known
lost his house, his children riches and his wife
caused to curse the very day that he was given life
but in the end he praised god even more
told him all about what he still had and was thankful for
and he was blessed ten times that, lets tie that back
into your story and mine, stay on the road and shine…
on you go…
on you go…
on we go…
