Lecrae - 8:28 lyrics

It's gon' all work out sooner than later
You don't have to worry 'bout tomorrow
It's gon' work out in your favor
Just keep your head to the sky
Keep your eyes on the prize
Just keep your head to the sky
Keep your eyes on the prize

Man, I'm insecure and I'm so unsure
My motives don't be the purest either
My little sister
Prolly need me, I ain't been around, and
I ain't tried to lead her, ugh!
Help me, Lord, I ain't ever have no daddy
Feel like a failin' father
Tryna raise my family
I've seen cancer take my lady's pops
And he fought so hard and we cried so hard
But sometimes life's so dark
But he told me, "Boy, you keep yo' head
Up, never let up, and never give up
And don't cry for me 'cause I'ma
Live up in the sky" let it all work out
That pain gon' make you stronger
That hurt gon' make you a leader
Don't make that make you a monster
In the middle of the darkest
Heart is heartless tarnished carnage
The Master Artist makes your
Mess a masterpiece regardless

It's gon' all work out sooner than later
You don't have to worry 'bout tomorrow
It's gon' work out in your favor
Just keep your head to the sky
Keep your eyes on the prize
Just keep your head to the sky
Keep your eyes on the prize

Yeah, I've seen pretty girls feel so
Ugly that they hate livin'
I've seen rich men have everything
But have no friends
I've seen baby mommas put restrainin'
Orders on good fathers
I've seen single mothers work three jobs
But they still in college
Eight years, gettin' two degrees
Slaved away for a bachelor's
Then eight more payin' huge fees
Still a slave to her master's
Feelin' a way, makin' a minimum wage
But at the end of the day
Feelin' so grateful
Bills still paid, so no room to complain
We all got deep wounds, ugly scars
Black marks
Just left rehab, still got track marks
Let it all work out and
Let the light shine through
'Cause you can't be them and
They can't be you

It's gon' all work out sooner than later
You don't have to worry 'bout tomorrow
It's gon' work out in your favor
Just keep your head to the sky
Keep your eyes on the prize
Just keep your head to the sky
Keep your eyes on the prize, yeah, oh

Oh oh oh
Oh, oh, oh, hey
