I thought
I thought
Yeah
I was just like everybody else
Treated thoughts in head like it's God
Went off in my own direction
At my own discretion I followed my heart
Worst decision that I ever made
I traded freedom to become a slave
I thought I was chillin, headed to the millions
Gettin' love from women, black and bout my business
I was really dedicated, rebel in making
Rapper dreams I got assimilated
Rollin up that mary j, vision stay faded
Think it's cheap
But the price is steep
Payment equals me
Couldn't see that from start
I wandered off in the dark
Ran from the light, but still at church on Sunday
Wasn't listening dreaming bout sinnin vividly
This was truly my history, God to me was a mystery
Now my life is so different see
You can join me just listen please
I thought I had it all figured out
I thought I had found the golden route
Goin full speed on the runway
I just dived in after one taste
Jesus stepped in with the one way
Now I can't believe what i thought
I just need some money in my pocket
I thought
I'ma do me. I'm the pilot
I thought
Almost lost it all from the stuff that I thought
But Jesus schooled me when he showed me that cross
I thought
I thought
I thought
I thought
I thought
I thought
I thought
I thought
I thought
I thought
I couldn't wait to cut the strings on the parachute
Looked at it likes it's holding me back
I spread my wings, take off these chains
I use my brain. I'm not slave
So let me free
I'ma smoke this weed, and waste my seed
I'ma do anything that my mind could conceive
Murder he wrote
Look at my motive
I'm so devoted like I got a quota
Chase that bonus
Heart is getting colder
Darker than some Folgers
You've been doin the same thing
Maybe not the same way but we all on the same team
If you're running from God
You still gone face him in the end
All the rebelling that you been doin is sin
He could punish us like right now
But he give us mercy every second that you're breathing is a chance to bow down
Jesus Christ died for you sins
God gave his as a gift
If you believe him you will live
I thought I had it all figured out
I thought I had found the golden route
Goin full speed on the runway
I just dived in after one taste
Jesus stepped in with the one way
Now I can't believe what i thought
I just need some money in my pocket
I thought
I'ma do me. I'm the pilot
I thought
Almost lost it all from the stuff that I thought
But Jesus schooled me when he showed me that cross
I thought
I thought
I thought
I thought
I thought
I thought
I thought
I thought
I thought
I thought
Rejected the truth now abandoned to my thoughts
Everything you do adds up, we don't see the cost
Looking for the way to satisfaction
Only ended up with suicidal habits on me
Negative my balance, but he took that holy chalice
And he took it all to the head
I thought I had it all figured out
I thought I had found the golden route
Goin full speed on the runway
I just dived in after one taste
Jesus stepped in with the one way
Now I can't believe what i thought
I thought
