[Lecrae, J.Paul - The Good Life lyrics]
We can live it
We can live it, that good life
Yeah, so we can live it yeah, that good life
That good life now, we can live it
Yeah, we can live it yeah, good life
What he need God for? He
Got money to the Heavens never pulled a 187
But he preach it like a reverend
Never satisfied with second
Except for second home, second car
Second woman his own
Second bottle from the bar
Good life, even though he got it
He don't get it
Cause he living for the moment
But this moment has an ending
Matter fact, it's been a minute
All he see is pretty women
Big lights big names
In a minute that'll change bang!
Caught up in an all-consuming flame
All alone, still rejecting Jesus' Name
Even if he could change he would never do it
Grandma told him 'bout living water
He prefer the sewage
He don't know why he do it
Desire just enslaved him
Addicted to himself
Do whatever just to praise him
Give himself the money
Pleasure and treasure that'll rust
When he traded his eternity for
20 years of lust
Where the bottles go pop, models go shop
Everyone knows who you are
But then the lights turn on
Curtains fall off you see it all was false
But that's the good life
Lights, camera, action
Where is the satisfaction? Good life
Black diamonds and gold
Living highest when you live on the low
I take the narrow route
That speedway's a monster it's all good
I go to sleep without a guilty conscience
For that they call me conscious
But I'm very conscious
Of what I'm missing
I ain't tripping on the girls in VIP
Fronting for each other
They actin' like they something
That they not, they undercover
Trying to get under covers
But one day they'll discover
They gave parts of themselves away
That they'll never recover
A part time lover, took a full-time pay
God please show her mercy
Her affliction's here to stay
She just found out she pregnant and
The child has been infected (my Lord)
What's worse is that
She'll never meet the guy that she rejected
The one that can protect her
Comfort her to the grave
And resurrect her body to live
With Jesus who saves
Can't say that God ain't love her
She wanted to be a slave
This is a crew master
Leaving 'em full of pain
But hey this is the good life
50 years from now, he may
Be full of gray hair, beard long
And even closer to a home
That he's never known
Right now his home facing 25-to life
Sitting in the county jail
Court appointed lawyer like
If this case is Tina Turner, homie
I am not Ike got his momma crying daily but
She praying every night
Only 20 but there's plenty that
He's paying with his rights
Thought he got a life sentence
But he really got life
He done read that bible twice
Been in plenty fights, sleepless nights
But when he trusted Christ you
Could see that change overnight
Knew he'd die in prison but
Was living for another life
Every time his lights out he
Closer to the other side
Partners on the outside think he
Found religion as a
Coping mechanism when he say
The Lord's risen
Now he lay awake in prison
Praying for his homies in the streets
Cause truth is
He's free-er than they gon' ever be
We can live it, that good life
Yeah, so we can live it yeah, that good life
That good life now, we can live it
Yeah, we can live it yeah, we can live it
Yeah, good life
We can live it, that good life
Yeah, so we can live it yeah, that good life
That good life now, we can live it
Yeah, we can live it yeah, good life
