lyrics

It’s looking like everybody the ops now
sitting on my high horse, I been waiting to hop down
this industry be wanting me to hop round
Circumvent the circus recognize I do not clown
I been looking for that new shit
Something everybody wanna groove with
You know that change ya mood quick
-Lord help me just to move this
Lost religion and found myself at the same time
I'm notin scripture til I'm the victor with my lines
They be chillin and twistin fingers in Mai Tais
I'm disciplinin continuous changing my life
-Internal motives dippin all them high fives
I see their struggle steady beefing like Five Guys
They can't see it but I've been focused since 5'9"
Thought I was kiddin' til I was waving them bye bye
-Got a couple angels on my shoulders
I ain't prayin they tellin me when to hold up
Well connected, I can feel it when my soul rush
You got it too, you just gotta keep ya mouth shut

I been looking for that new shit
Something everybody wanna groove with
You know that change ya mood quick
Lord help me just to move this

Icarus Gray

I see God every time I grip the pen
In the wind
And then I let him speak through me again
And I win
I’m never gone pretend like I don’t sin
In the end
My final conversation is with him
Not with them
The way I’m living ain’t coming with clout
And I doubt
You sought him for yourself to figure out
What’s the route journey of enlightenment I’m proud and devout
To always lead with love and never change what I’m bout
I don’t get caught inside of tradition or religion
Or anything that’s not based in a good moral decision
The world is not my compass or a scale I weigh forgiveness
Too fickle in they image using faith more as a gimmick
Respect and care for others is a given end of sentence
And If this the only word you ever given attention
I pray that you experience a moment that’s uplifting
and everything is shifting to bring life unto your vision

I been looking for that new shit
Something everybody wanna groove with
You know that change ya mood quick
Lord help me just to move this

-I got my focus in the right time
If you thinking you rarely feeling the right signs
I'm still a Christian, but God is different in my eyes
He's universal the physical is just our science
-We speak the language but we disconnect
-It's hard division and so we learning to disrespect
-Cuz science and religion see they both correct
We just miss it in all the places they intersect
-The spirit and the matter they combine
-Just when you lookin it at it they defined
-That's they tell you Jesus healed the blind
-You could see it if you read between the lines

But you ain't gotta listen to me
Went looking for religion then I found what it means
But you ain't gotta listen to me
Went looking for religion then I found what it means

I been looking for that new shit
Something everybody wanna groove with
You know that change ya mood quick
Lord help me just to move this
