GOD'S WILL
Ben Haggerty, Daoud Anthony, Jacob Dutton, Joshua Karp, Tyler Dopps
Never turn my back on my birthplace
Leave it to my city, making sure that the dirt's straight
Leave my kids just enough 'cause I'll fail them the worst way
If I raised some rich spoiled white girls in the first place, yeah
Leave a legacy, one worth remembering
In my robe, looking out on Rome, on the Mezzanine, like
Why creators are the last ones with some equity?
Put myself in a position to pass it to my people
And that's why I'm never settling, more capital than Beverly
Before my grandma died, she saw me on Jeopardy
Still think PJs are too expensive
Still don't make music with people I ain't friends with
Still fuck the industry, and no, I don't mess with
People that my mama wouldn't want to have for breakfast
That's right
The suits, the streams, the snakes, the schemes, the steady
Pursuit of paper over truth and dreams
Loyal to my soil, never change the oil
Kept the motor running, kept my foot up on the gas
And push to start the button
Everything I thought I always wanted, everything it wasn't
Never know that God is everything until you lose sight of Him, yeah
Never know that God is everything until you lose sight of Him
Said it's written on my face, I can't play it off
I got so much on my plate, I can't shake it off
But I'm built for this, I'm built for this
I been staying in my lane, keep my head down
I was losing my faith, but I'm blessed now
God told me, "You built for this"
I know I'm built for this
You weren't supposed to die here
You were supposed to fly here
Look what you built off your imagination
Could've never imagined the places you would've been taken because your ideas
This is in your veins, like where the IV is
My mama's Dodge minivan became my own at sixteen
Before sixteen ever got you a phone
Maybe when I was thirteen, twelve, eleven, who knows
But I was in the back of that motherfucker writing my poems
On shrooms with the busted boombox
Thinking that this special brew and beater, I was Tupac, nah
If I could go back and give that motherfucker advice
I'd say it was already written, boy
Keep living your life
Put everything you got into your truth
That instrument you carry around, that is a tool
The most precious one you'll ever have
There's no shortcuts in the craft
Because the craft is actually just a path to discover you
It can get you pussy, respect, money, fame and
They love to call it, "the game," but please do not get it confused
'Cause that's just the temptation that God is gonna put in front of your face
To see how bad you really want the jewel
And you don't run this shit, these are God's words
And when you catch the Holy Spirit, thank God first
Kill the ego, kill the need to keep on pleasing people
Self-centeredness and self-will isn't how God works
We only here for a blink and it's gone
So, what you gonna do with the ink you use in your songs?
Regardless of your deal, or the label that you're on
When you die, the Universe already owns them all
That's God's will
It's all God's will
Never turn my back on my birthplace
Drehe niemals meinen Rücken zu meinem Geburtsort
Leave it to my city, making sure that the dirt's straight
Überlasse es meiner Stadt, sicherzustellen, dass der Dreck gerade ist
Leave my kids just enough 'cause I'll fail them the worst way
Hinterlasse meinen Kindern gerade genug, denn ich werde sie auf die schlimmste Weise enttäuschen
If I raised some rich spoiled white girls in the first place, yeah
Wenn ich zuerst einige reiche, verwöhnte weiße Mädchen großziehe, ja
Leave a legacy, one worth remembering
Hinterlasse ein Vermächtnis, eines, das es wert ist, sich zu erinnern
In my robe, looking out on Rome, on the Mezzanine, like
In meinem Gewand, blickend auf Rom, auf der Mezzanine, wie
Why creators are the last ones with some equity?
Warum sind die Schöpfer die letzten mit etwas Eigenkapital?
Put myself in a position to pass it to my people
Ich habe mich in eine Position gebracht, um es an meine Leute weiterzugeben
And that's why I'm never settling, more capital than Beverly
Und deshalb werde ich niemals nachgeben, mehr Kapital als Beverly
Before my grandma died, she saw me on Jeopardy
Bevor meine Oma starb, sah sie mich bei Jeopardy
Still think PJs are too expensive

Man weiß nie, dass Gott alles ist, bis man ihn aus den Augen verliert
Said it's written on my face, I can't play it off
Es steht auf meinem Gesicht geschrieben, ich kann es nicht abspielen
I got so much on my plate, I can't shake it off
Ich habe so viel auf meinem Teller, ich kann es nicht abschütteln
But I'm built for this, I'm built for this
Aber ich bin dafür gemacht, ich bin dafür gemacht
I been staying in my lane, keep my head down
Ich bin in meiner Spur geblieben, halte meinen Kopf unten
I was losing my faith, but I'm blessed now
Ich habe meinen Glauben verloren, aber ich bin jetzt gesegnet
God told me, "You built for this"
Gott hat mir gesagt: „Du bist dafür gemacht“
I know I'm built for this
Ich weiß, ich bin dafür gemacht
You weren't supposed to die here
Du solltest hier nicht sterben
You were supposed to fly here
Du solltest hier fliegen
Look what you built off your imagination
Schau, was du mit deiner Vorstellungskraft gebaut hast
Could've never imagined the places you would've been taken because your ideas
Hätte mir nie vorstellen können, an welche Orte du gebracht worden wärst, wegen deiner Ideen
This is in your veins, like where the IV is
Das ist in deinen Adern, wie dort, wo der IV ist
My mama's Dodge minivan became my own at sixteen

Maybe when I was thirteen, twelve, eleven, who knows

But I was in the back of that motherfucker writing my poems
Aber ich war hinten in diesem Mistkerl und schrieb meine Gedichte
On shrooms with the busted boombox
Auf Pilzen mit dem kaputten Boombox
Thinking that this special brew and beater, I was Tupac, nah
Dachte, dass dieses spezielle Gebräu und Schläger, ich war Tupac, nein
If I could go back and give that motherfucker advice
Wenn ich zurückgehen und diesem Mistkerl einen Rat geben könnte
I'd say it was already written, boy
Ich würde sagen, es war schon geschrieben, Junge
Keep living your life

Stecke alles, was du hast, in deine Wahrheit
That instrument you carry around, that is a tool
Das Instrument, das du herumträgst, das ist ein Werkzeug
The most precious one you'll ever have
Das wertvollste, das du jemals haben wirst
There's no shortcuts in the craft
Es gibt keine Abkürzungen im Handwerk
Because the craft is actually just a path to discover you
Denn das Handwerk ist eigentlich nur ein Weg, um dich zu entdecken
It can get you pussy, respect, money, fame and
Es kann dir Pussy, Respekt, Geld, Ruhm und
They love to call it, "the game," but please do not get it confused
Sie lieben es, es „das Spiel“ zu nennen, aber bitte verwechsle es nicht
'Cause that's just the temptation that God is gonna put in front of your face
Denn das ist nur die Versuchung, die Gott vor dein Gesicht stellen wird
To see how bad you really want the jewel
Um zu sehen, wie sehr du das Juwel wirklich willst
And you don't run this shit, these are God's words
Und du führst das nicht, das sind Gottes Worte
And when you catch the Holy Spirit, thank God first
Und wenn du den Heiligen Geist empfängst, danke Gott zuerst

Es ist alles Gottes Wille
