[Verse 1: MC Jin]

My goal was to get signed

My goal was to blow up

Guess what, when it happened, I ain’t even know what, hit me

Am I leanin’, Somebody pinch me, Am I dreamin’

Chain on my neck, my name on a check, life finally had some meaning

At least that’s what it felt like, felt right from the start, But little did I know I was slowly fallin’ apart

My goals were short term, drop hits, get hot today, I jus’ need a hit with Timbaland, Neptunes, maybe Dr. Dre

Neglectin’ my craft, I could care less about the art, All I’m tryin’ to do is to find the fastest path to get on the charts

Wasn’t always like this, is it the cash that did the damage?

Once upon a time there was a passion it was organic

Nights like this, I’m feelin’ like Eddie Kane

Missin’ my heartbeat, wasn’t ready for the fame

There’s power in his name, yeah His grace is sufficient

My only goal now is run this race until I’m finished, I’m in this

[Hook: D. Tropp]

The bright lights will turn you to a monster, at least that’s what they say

Is it worth what it’ll cost ya? When it’s thrown all away…

So what good is it to gain the world, gain the world, but not gain a thing

What good is it to gain the world and lose everything

[Verse 2: Gemstones]

My goal was a big chain

My goal was a slick range

My goal was a big house

Me and Lupe flyin’ jet planes

Some young girl getting’ stretched out

Every night drunk on champagne

Nose up with my chest out

Lord knows how them checks came

Stunt so hard, you flexed out

Sure enough, felt like X-games

Eyelids get no rest how

It’s no sleep when you in that left lane

And I kept sane

Made it out just before death came

Blessed I was almost X’d out

And would’a been had I missed that next train

Home but I still felt left out

Thought a new life would’a brought less strain

Was on Lupe’s cool tour stressed out

And thought sunshine would have brought less rain

If only somehow I had less doubt

If only someway I felt less pain

Depression on you to best out

Still broke cause you got less fame

Coulda been rich with a guest house

But something within my chest changed

I ain’t get dropped

I backed out

I’m done, y'all can have this rap game

Sold my soul for a packed house

A few g’s and a lil’ scrap change

I’m runnin’ back Lord both arms stretched out

Forever I’ll praise Your blessed name

[Hook: D. Tropp]

The bright lights will turn you to a monster, at least that’s what they say

Is it worth what it’ll cost ya? When it’s thrown all away…

So what good is it to gain the world, gain the world, but not gain a thing

What good is it to gain the world and lose everything

[Verse 3: Mogli The Iceburg]

My goal was that prestige

My goal was to impress these

Critics and peers so I could make a little money

Maybe get enough to buy a couple car keys

My goal was that rapper fame

My goal was that big name with my big head and my soul dead

Til’ that light shown

And my heart changed

And that’s real

Listen, sit back and smile

Put a deal on the table

Ready to sign, I was willing and able

Til’ I had a talk with the head of the label

He said, don’t talk about God that don’t make money

That’ll cost money, that’ll take from me

Don’t you wanna blow, don’t you wanna know, What its like to be up at the top

Just sign on the dot, Huh? Started from the bottom now we in it till we win it

Only difference is the way that we gon’ finish

See the elevator goin’ up for anybody

Walkin’ with the Spirit

I just hope the people clear enough to hear it

So I give it to them with the lyricism

Cause the mission here is different

We just doin’ it to glorify His image

Not our own

Not because I fear Hell but because I love Him

And I wanna be up with Him when he sittin on His throne

So I’m sayin’, give me the rain, give me the pain, unashamed in the game

Boy the worst you could do is kill me

Goin' and puttin’ it down with the sound that resounds in the town

My identity in Him, that’s the real me

Yes Lord, it might have taken me a minute

But I’m, done with all that talkin’, Here on out I’m tryna live it

Indie
