Take Me Back
[Intro: Taelor Gray & Leigh Ann Gray]
This my friends is what you call an intro
I wanna start throwing roses right now, I wanna give people some roses right now
Swoope, there it is
You know
First shout to the council
That's Allen Swoope and Kirk Mentor
Y'all be helping me something crazy man
Shout to Hundredfold, that's B Moses, Camp, 9 Meals and Aaron
Y'all be helping me something crazy too man, we've been going through a lot together
Shout out to my parents man, they always kept me lifted up
I'm still standing
I see it all
[Verse 1: Taelor Gray]
I remember all I wanted was Evisu jeans but Platinum Fubu had to do
Had some NFL goals but I'm taking pain killers for Arena Leagues
Reset your dreams got you questioning your deities
Oh yeah that's life, that's Sinatra when you listen to it
Navigating circumstances 'till you see some scripture through it
Yo I was writing my raps with some plans in that arrow star van Y'all not ready for my jams
Pulling scams, selling sneakers to the homies out the store way
That's the Jesus rapper who was trapped in the allure, yeah Trafficking these women yeah, the nice guys wanna smash
I'm the other number while she talking to that running-back
Acting like it's her idea, acting like it's God's plan
I had a brash kinda sovereignty
I told God to follow me and meet all my demands
Then I'm gonna thank you on the stage, bless me with successes I'm gon' light some sage and meditate, innovate, imitate my idols
Another quick distraction that put dust on top my Bible
Now how this all gon' mix to a man broken down, crying that the bonfire
Used to have my mom crying, used to have my pops want throw hands my rebellious soul
Then late one night I up picked that dorm telephone, said, "Dad, I'm tryna to go to church
Was hoping you could pick me up and get me out this hearse"
And I remember songs mom sang to me to Christian school
My pops work long hours so that he can pay them fees
The messages will stay with me Frank was how they pray for me Sometimes we downplay the fact that faith has an agency
There's something dead that raised in me and lift me off the ground
Went from six feet burials to six feet off the ground
That's me leaping, dancing, picking up my bed to walk
The confident don't ever leave you sleeping in the synagogue
New creature poetry, it's better with a story teller
Imma tell you my Book of Acts as this plot develops
And I was worried I had no more to say
But everything can change and somehow it stay same
He's good
[Outro: Leigh Ann Gray]
Hey son, hey I just wanted to give you a quick call just to let you know how much I, um, appreciate you and what I've observed just about your journey
I knew that you were going to be something great for God and, um, would be telling the world about Him
So I saw that a long time ago and I just wanted to celebrate you and just to let you know that mom sees
I see it all
