• Chase That (Ambition)

Started with hanging posters on my bedroom walls
To battle rapping for status up in the school halls
Just call me double sushi, thought I was too raw
And hip-hop was my home, I had my shoes off
6’3” in high school, but skip a hoop dream
If I don’t blow up then maybe I’ll try this school thing
I went to college to do my family a favor
But I couldn’t pick a major ‘cause I wanted to be major
I tried selling work, but it didn’t work
So I worked, shopping center clerk, finna go berserk
Lunch break, see me writing 16’s over Mickey D’s
Skipping class, making beats over 60 keys
And I love that even though I’m just chasin’
Selfish ambition couldn’t tell your boy naythin’
Watch out all you rappers ‘cause they finna let ‘Crae in
But I was sleeping on the Son like a Days Inn

[Hook]
And you can have the money, and you can have the fame
For me I want the glory, I’m living for the Name
See life is just a picture, I see outside the frame
I’m living for a Kingdom that I ain’t never seen
And I’ma chase that, I’ma I’ma chase that
Found the key to life and best believe that I’ma play that
Glory I’ma chase that, I’ma I’ma chase that
Glory I’ma chase that, I’ma I’ma chase that

[Verse 2]
I remember chasing the green, feeling blue
Only check I’m counting is the mic check, 1-2
All I wanted was the money and the fame and a new
Somebody on my arm when I walk inside the room
All I wanted was doom
The same kind Alexander the Great felt when the earth ran out of room
He conquered all he could but yet he’s feeling consumed
By this never-ending quest for glory he couldn’t fuel
Like a typical fool I would go hard
Shooting for the moon but there’s only one sun [Son], no co-star
Chasing glory I shouldn’t own
Instead of living to make his name known I’m running after his throne
I thought being on TV where everybody could see me
Was nothing short of the easiest way I could see to please me
I’ll never be who I used to desperately wanted to be
I’m too worried ‘bout the Lord getting credit instead of me

[Hook]
And you can have the money, and you can have the fame
For me I want the glory, I’m living for the Name
See life is just a picture, I see outside the frame
I’m living for a Kingdom that I ain’t never seen
And I’ma chase that, I’ma I’ma chase that
Found the key to life and best believe that I’ma play that
Glory I’ma chase that, I’ma I’ma chase that
Glory I’ma chase that, I’ma I’ma chase that

[Verse 3]
I used to wanna do it big
When you’re only focused on yourself, that’s small
And they, they used to tell me as a kid
That I could do anything that I want, except fall
And now that I recall, I was chasing my goals
And every time I caught ‘em they multiplied into mo’
I never even thought about whether the Lord approved
Call it selfish ambition, I call it “I’m making moves”
But history repeats itself, evil’s what it is
‘Cause Lucifer was cast away for doing what I did
Created by the God who spoke the earth into existence
Instead of chasing the Father’s glory, he was chasing his
He lies to us all, told Adam he could ball
“Why you followin’ God when you could go get it all?”
