Chase That by Lecrae
Chase That lyrics
Uh, 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, well skip a hoop dream
If I don�t blow up then maybe, I�ll try the 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, finally go berserk
Lunch Break , see my writing 16�s over Mickey D�s
Skipping class, making beats over 60 keys
And I love that, that even though I�m just chasing
Selfish Ambition couldn�t tell your boy nothing
Watch out all you rappers� cause they finally let �Crae in
But I was sleeping on the Son like Days Inn
And you can have the money
And you can have the fame
But 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 Imma chase that
Imma, Imma chase that
Found the key to life and best believe that Imma play that
Glory, Imma chase that
Imma, Imma chase that
Glory, Imma chase that
Imma, Imma chase that
Ugh
I remember chasing the green feeling blue
Only check I�m counting is the mic check, one, two
All I wanted was the money and the fame and the 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 only one 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 every body 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 want to be
I�m to worried bout the Lord getting credit instead of me
And you can have the money
And you can have the fame
But 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 Imma chase that
Glory, Imma, Imma chase that
Found the key to life and best believe that Imma play that
Glory Imma chase that
Imma, Imma chase that
Glory, Imma chase that
Imma, Imma chase that
I use to wanna do it big
When you�re only focused on yourself that�s small
And they, they use to tell me as a kid
That I could do anything that I wanted except fall
And now that I recall
I was chasing my goals
And every time I caught them they multiplied into more
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 following God when could go get it all?�
I�ll tell you what�s better, or better yet worse
Chasing your own glory by doing the Lord�s work
So holler if it hurts
But we were made for greater
Our greatest satisfaction is making His Name famous
So if we�re never named among the greatest or they don�t critically acclaim us
Ain�t nothing to be ashamed of
We gave it up for the Savior
Imma chase that
Imma, Imma chase that
And the Lord�s goodness
You should-you should taste that
And you ain�t living till you living for his name, yeah
Glory, Imma chase that
Imma, Imma chase that
