Str8 Up

[Verse 1]
Mother nature, mother nature
As far as my eyes can see every acre
Every acre, we have the same Maker
So one day, see, I'mma have to kiss your face good
Bye, and find a place in the sky
I got a mansion waiting on me, thank God
So I don’t know they're hating on me
Ain't I here on behalf of the king of all K-I-
N-G-S-es, chance it
What if He came alive and walked off of your necklace, huh
I’m talking about the cross carrier
The breaker of all barriers, His blood's so precious
The L-O-R-D, the breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the godly
Are we desperate? Of course, we bless the Lord
Lest we fall off and end up a corpse
I don't know about y'all, I ain't taking no loss
And I refuse to be fired, so baby, I'm on my job
He paid the price, baby, the [?]
So I'm yelling out the number for the dice, hit the wall, seven
And if I fall like the Reverend Doctor
Martin Luther King, don't play "who shot ya"
Just make sure you give my wife my Oscar
And my residuals because I played my part, yeah
Sharks know there’s blood in the water very quickly
That same blood in the Word, yelling "come and get me"
That’s off-topic but not really, it's still a line
For the death-defying greatest man of all time
So if my name’s ever written in stone
And they put me in the ground, know I'm already gone
And I can feel my purpose so I'm headed to the throne to worship
Man, I've got the perfect song
I’m on my knees when I wake up in the morning
So when I leave, I'mma be like I wake up in the morning, on my knees
Singing and rapping and bringing keys
He knows my thoughts, no closed caption when I speak, uh
I am a masterpiece in the making
The devil will be relieved when I'm taken
'Cause while I'm here this whole earth I'm shaking up
True to His Word, that fallow ground I'm breaking up
He's shaping up my life like a pair of clippers
So don't be scared when I'm no longer here with ya
Take a pair of pictures, see the before and after
We'll make 'em peer in scriptures, explore all the chapters
Especially 2nd C-O-R 2:18, we can see we were redeemed
Placed back in the bosom of the King
Way back I was a hoodlum and a fiend
Out for that cheddar so I figured that I better have a scheme
But it never came together so I let up on the dream
Which in turn was the setup that led me up to the scene
When I heard God's Word, I jumped directly on the team, yah mean?
Yo, I'm blood bought
I'm purchased, so don't cry for me
When I go, I need you to celebrate, nah mean?
Yeah

[Hook]
If I should die before I wake up
Before the fresh shape up and the great tux
Before the makeup
Be content 'cause you know in your gut
That your homeboy went straight up (yeah)
Straight up (yeah)
Straight up (yeah)
Straight up, yeah, I'm going straight up, yeah
Straight up, uh, yeah, ha

[Verse 2]
Now if you accept the difference that you are believers
Claim you are holy and then set apart for Jesus
Let the people see it, let 'em bear witness
Signs and wonders, they watching for 'em and taking pictures
They wanna see your riches bestowed upon the righteous
Haven't we read in them scriptures that's written on that papyrus?
You don't really get rid of that bit of fire
Or is that [?] really impossible to acquire?
The everlasting life, faith in the higher
Being, seeing into the realm of all of the entire
Any man put his hand to the plow, then retire
Not fit for the Kingdom of God
Fire (fire)
So if you're real they'll see it in your eyes
If you say you gon' ride, then homie, you should ride
If not, then playboy, lose the facade
'Cause right now you're playing [?]

[Hook]
If I should die before I wake up
Before the fresh shape up and the great tux
Before the makeup
Be content 'cause you know in your gut
That your homeboy went straight up (yeah)
Straight up (yeah)
Straight up (yeah)
Straight up, yeah, I'm going straight up, yeah
Straight up, yeah, uh, salute
