Lecrae - Sidelines lyrics

One thousand biz busy on the boards
I hear 'em cheering from the sidelines
Wait, hold up, I think they hatin'
People told me take my time, right?
Nah, they tired of waitin'
They say "'Crae, you sold your soul, man"
For real? Who bought it?
"Let the Spirit take control, man"
I don't go nowhere without Him

They scared that I'ma cause
These babies to stumble
They scared that my integrity
Is gon' crumble, appreciate the prayers
But all that pressure either
Gon' make you humble
Or make you hang out on the sidelines
And fear you gon' fumble put me in coach
Ain't out here flexin' for nobody
I was born to do it
God don't make mistakes and say I'm sorry
He ain't never dropped the ball
I don't never plan to fumble
Catch me runnin' with them lions
Reggie Bushin' in the jungle
Came from nothin'
I remember spendin' summers on
The corner with
My cousin Shootin' dice and playin' dozens
Me and BJ in that Cutlass
CD playin' missin' buttons
Up at Lincoln High in Dallas
With that Jesus Muzik bumpin'
Now it's Joseph graduation
Turn on that radio and T-Dot on the station
I remember when we used to split the rent up
UGK was bangin' loud inside his pickup
Wait, let me pick up
Back when promoters wouldn't let me back in
'Less I pay 'em on a back end
That ain't happenin'
We just pray to God that somehow
He would let us crack in
Took that door off of them hinges
Told us, "Get it crackin'"

I hear 'em cheering from the sidelines
People told me take my time, right?
Hear 'em cheerin' from the sidelines
Hold up, I think they hatin'
People told me take my time, right?
They tired of waitin'

They braggin' they in the buildin'
Ain't buildin' nothin'
We out here buildin' the children
You know I love 'em, boy
Spit it how I live, feel it in my breath
Walk it like I talk, put it to the test
Gina, get to steppin', we get to startin'
You dream of bein' a king but
You watchin' the wrong Martin, bruh Man
This ain't the fifth floor
It's the penthouse
Either you change your outlook or get out
And life ain't never been a dream
You just oversleepin'
If it wasn't hard work
They probably cheatin'
Yeah, give that arrogance some rest
This ain't happen overnight
That's why I do this thing to death
I might do this 'til I'm deaf
Dumb and blind
You know I don't need my eyes
To see my faith working fine never mind me
I ain't worried 'bout how they define me
Long as they can find me
They'll never confine me

I hear 'em cheerin' from the sidelines
People told me take my time, right?
Hear 'em cheerin' from the sidelines
Hold up, I think they hatin'
People told me take my time, right?
They tired of waitin'
