[Verse 1]
I got the drive they see the ambition
Blood in my eyes I gave 'em the vision
I done played all the cards I was dealt, talked to God then I did what I felt
I took a flight to my island I was there feeding the people
I brought the church to the body they told me I needed a steeple
I held a funeral on the left side of a broken mountain
Cry with the thousand perform for the one and then ask 'em who really counting
Gave 'em my heart while sharing my soul they ain't want it I dipped it in gold
Went Pop Chic and I dropped hits now I brought it back to this Rose
I ain't trying to be your pastor man I'm trying be your friend
There's struggles that I'm mastering I'll share them when I can
I wanna win
I'm praying that you wanna win too
Open the door watch how you feel when you get through
Win, I'm praying that you wanna win too
Open the door watch how you feel when you get through
[Chorus]
Pain inside my eyes
Screaming bloody murder columbine
Praying I survive
I know that forever I'm alive
How could you think you could take me from the most high
Can't separate me from what don't die
How could you think you could take me from the most high
Can't separate me from what don't die
[Verse 2]
Don't preach to me come speak to me
Maybe just listen
I tried to be close but there's a good reason for distance
I peep tension in your tone
Respect this 'cause I'm grown
I'm trying my best to give you my best but lately I feel so alone
You gave me stress but you coulda blessed but that's not the path that you chose
Now you upset 'cause I'm hella blessed and you took a different road
But I drew a map and left it intact I'm hoping you find it
It's here in the track just play it right back and I pray to God you're reminded, ayy
[Chorus]
Pain inside my eyes
Screaming bloody murder columbine
Praying I survive
I know that forever I'm alive
How could you think you could take me from the most high
Can't separate me from what don't die
How could you think you could take me from the most high
Can't separate me from what don't die
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
If I'm finna die then I'm dying like the faithful
Look up to the sky show God that I'm grateful
[Chorus]
Pain inside my eyes
Screaming bloody murder columbine
Praying I survive
I know that forever I'm alive
How could you think you could take me from the most high
Can't separate me from what don't die
How could you think you could take me from the most high
Can't separate me from what don't die
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
May the best of your today's be the worst of your tomorrows
