Firm Foundation Songtext

Devil wanna take my mind, know they wanna kill my vibe
I just need Jesus, yeah, I just gotta see Your face
Reconstruct my faith, build me a firm foundation

I started from the bottom, then I made it to the top
Made Anomaly, my mama proud of me
We thought we'd never see thе day that it would stop
Just relyin' on the Spirit
Told me, "Go to collеge, learn how to make a livin'"
But I learned 'bout religion
Lyin' to the truth, God gave the kid vision
Unashamed, whole clique on a mission
Ridin' through the city on blaze
Went from bad to makin' minimum wage
'Til the people singin' with me on stage
Everybody tryna give the Lord praise
It was all so simple, no denominations
Now the whole nation split down the middle
Church start trippin', a lot of people fightin'
Cuss up 'em, and turned a blind eye to killin', mm
No time for religion, them types never understand grace
I made my decision, still here tryna work on my faith
Mm, just a little bit of hope, yeah
Whole lot of Holy Ghost, yeah
Only way that I can cope, yeah

I just need peace for me, I just gotta take my time
Devil wanna take my mind, know they wanna kill my vibe
I just need Jesus, yeah, I just gotta see Your face
Reconstruct my faith, build me a firm foundation

Help me get up out the hole I feel I dug
Sick of witin' songs 'bout the pain that I feel
I just wanna laugh again, I'm makin' my appeal
Darkness had to crack a smile, and need a couple bills
Let me keep it real, people love to say that I'm fake
'Cause the choices I make, I just wanna be great
Probably gotta walk the Green Mile
Local senile on the forty ever let me catch a break
Back in '08, I was just a rebel with a cause
Youngin', but I thought I knew it all
Had a lot of trauma, but I never got to heal
I was thinkin' my theology would keep me safe from harm
Safe up in Your arms, I was bearin' arms
Shot a heretic 'fore they knew what was goin' on
Always in the middle of a battle, always gettin' people out
Or goin' crazy just to survive in the storm
Now I got—

No time for religion, them types never understand grace
I made my decision, still here tryna work on my faith
Mm, just a little bit of hope, yeah
Whole lot of Holy Ghost, yeah
Only way that I can, only way that I can cope

I just need peace for me, I just gotta take my time
Devil wanna take my mind, know they wanna kill my vibe
I just need Jesus, yeah, I just gotta see Your face
Reconstruct my faith, build me a firm foundation
I just need peace for me, I just gotta take my time
Devil wanna take my mind, know they wanna kill my vibe
I just need Jesus, yeah, I just gotta see Your face
Reconstruct my faith, build me a firm foundation
