[Lecrae, Courtney Orlando - Gravity lyrics]
Uh yeah
It’s Gravity keeps pullin’ me down
Pullin' me down
I pen songs for the
Perishin’ and parishioners
Them hearers and them listeners
The home and the visitors
This is not a game
You can't tame or make it purty
They say the earth cursed
So our mouths stay dirty
There’s mud on the track, a slug in ya’ back
Police done pulled you over wit’
A gun in ya’ lap
And you ain't got the power to
Make it through this parade
The workers can't keep the profit
- everything here is vain
My job is oppressive
I strive for my blessings
The pastor so corrupt it's hard
To ride with his message
Riches destroy the owners
The government think they own us
My onus is to keep the police
From ridin’ all up on us
Leavin’ money to kids who spend
It on getting’ blitz
Say, what's the point of livin’ just to
Give it up in the end then again
All my sin has been pinned to the cross
I know I'm free forever from
This land of the lost
Yeah, every time I think I’m flying
I’m just falling
So close to touching the sky
But gravity keeps pulling me back down
But I can’t stay here forever
I want to go, ooh one day! I want to go
Somewhere where there’s no gravity
Where there’s no gravity
Somebody told me there was no
Such thing as truth i said
"If that's the case then why
Should I believe you?"
Murder, money, and mayhem
Every place that I lay in
My problems follow suit, I'm
Tailor made for this, ain't I?
It’s deep you wanna go deep?
I’ll take you deep
Reality is really just cheap
Yo’ eyes wide open apparently, but you sleep
And everything you have in your
Hands you’ll never keep
So why hold on, I flow on to go on
Before long I float on
Eternal life is what I'm thinkin’
I'mma bank my hope on
Believe me, easy is irrelevant
The devil want us burning for the hell of it
Elephants in the room say we
Can't talk about impending doom
Or we gospel rappin’ or preaching
People out of they shoes
It’s cool, I'll be that dude
We glued to our depravity
Until somebody free us from this gravity
Fly!
I want to go, one day i want to go
Somewhere where there's no gravity
Where there's no gravity
Yeah, every time I think I’m flying
I’m just falling
So close to touching the sky
But gravity keeps pulling me back down
But I can’t stay here forever
It’s Gravity keeps pullin’ me down
Pullin' me down
I pen songs for the
Perishin’ and parishioners
Them hearers and them listeners
The home and the visitors
This is not a game

So our mouths stay dirty
