Lecrae - Chase That (Ambition) Lyrics
started with hanging posters on my bedroom wallsto battle rapping for status up in the school hallsjust call me double sushi thought I was too rawand hip hop was my home, I had my shoes off6'3 in high school I skipped the hoop dreamif I don't blowup then maybe I'll try the school thingI went to college to do my family a favor but I couldn't pick a major cause I wanted to be ma-jorI tried selling work, but it didn't work.so I worked - shoppers seen a clerk, fi'n go berserklunch break seen me writing 16's over micky dee'sskipping class making beats over 60 keysand I love it even though I'm just chasingselfish ambition couldn't tell your boy naythingwatch out all you rappers cause they filling Lecrae inbut I was sleeping on the sun like the 'days inn'and you could have the money, and you could have the fame. but me I want the glory, I'm living for the namesee life is just a picture, I see outside the frameI'm living for the kingdom, and I ain't of the sameyeah, and I'ma chase that. I'ma I'ma chase thatfound the key to life and best believe that I'ma plate thatglory I'ma chase that, I'ma I'ma chase thatglory I'ma chase that, I'ma I'ma chase thatugh, I remember chasing the green feeling blueonly check I'm counting is the mic check (1, 2)all I wanted was the money and the fame and the newsomebody on my arm when I walk inside the roomall I wanted was doomed, the same kind Alexander the great feltwhen the earth ran out of roomhe conquered all he could but yet he still was consumedby this never-ending quest for glory he couldn't fuellike a typical fool I would go hard - shooting for the moonbut there's only one Son, no co-star.chasing glory I shouldn't own, stead of living to make His name known I'm running after His throne. I thought being on TV where everybody could see mewas nothing short of the easiest way I could see to please meI'll never be who I used to desperately want to be, I'm too worried bout the Lord getting credit instead of meand you could have the money, and you could have the fame. but me I want the glory, I'm living for the namesee life is just a picture, I see outside the frameI'm living for the kingdom, and I ain't of the sameyeah, and I'ma chase that. glory chase thatfound the key to life and best believe that I'ma plate thatglory I'ma chase that, I'ma I'ma chase thatglory I'ma chase that, I'ma I'ma chase thatI used to wanna do it big. when you're only focused on yourself - that's smalland they, they used to tell me as a kidthat I could do anything that I wanted cept falland now that I recall, I was chasing my goalsand every time I caught em they multiplied into moreI never even thought about whether the Lord approvedcall it selfish ambition I call it "I'm making moves"but history repeats itself, evil's what it iscause lucifer was cast away for doing what I didcreated by the God that spoke the earth into existenceinstead of chasing the Father's glory he was chasing hishe lies to us all, told Adam he could ball"why you following God when you can go get it all?"I tell you what's better, or better yet worse.chasing your own glory while doing the Lord's work, so holla if it hurts, but we were made for greaterour greatest satisfaction is making His name famousso if we're never named among the greatest,they don't critically acclaim us, ain't nothing to be ashamed of we gave it up for the savior!I'ma chase that, I'ma I'ma chase thatand the Lord's goodness you should you should taste thatand you ain't living till you're living for His nameglory I'ma chase that, I'ma I'ma chase that.
