[00:03.27]I was taught that living the good life
[00:07.39]Meant getting everything I could
[00:09.68]
[00:11.92]But I've been shown a brand new picture
[00:13.52]Of the good life and it's glorious
[00:19.36]
[00:20.41]Aye I was raised in that lone star state where we go hard
[00:23.41]Can't do it small at all
[00:25.01]Cause big things our state
[00:26.86]My dreams as a buck was to make a large bank
[00:29.12]Daddy told me be the best no one can tell me I can't
[00:31.76]Be the best baller or be the best rapper
[00:34.74]Got a little older and went after the latter
[00:37.34]Grind until I shine trying to climb that ladder
[00:39.95]Grab a couple girls cause your boy looked dapper
[00:42.75]But at a young age saw that I had it wrong
[00:45.74]Full of drive but moving in reverse all along
[00:48.38]Dreams full of pride heart full of stone
[00:50.98]You know I had to redefine what I grind on
[00:53.43]Success is dangerous if you don't do it right
[00:56.23]He gave us everything for pointing to him right
[00:58.66]So toast to the king who gave me some new dreams
[01:01.42]Everything for his name that's how I do things
[01:03.76]Never knew how lost I was till I found out
[01:08.99]That I couldn't hear his voice it was drowned out
[01:14.07]I was chasing things selfish dreams
[01:19.19]Now I see what he has for me
[01:22.83]It's the good life
[01:24.79](Wake up ) I grew up with those dodgers and those angels
[01:28.01]When wings get mangled and they rock a broken halo
[01:30.32]Success is an idol from Hollywood to Diego
[01:33.24]No hablo if you don't speak with the pesos
[01:36.27]And their favorite dollar sign is too much
[01:38.60]More greed more lust more taste more touch
[01:41.37]I had an appetite that ate from the devil's power
[01:43.57]With every bite to see him rise
[01:45.10]I'm kissing my life goodbye
[01:46.50]If I find I have a need this world cannot meet
[01:49.09]Then I know this life is a place where my hope should not be
[01:51.98]
[01:52.54]I've been chasing those things that are real fake
[01:54.55]This is not a real place this is a dream state
[01:57.45]Functional saviors ain't hip their a real waste
[02:00.15]What's the palace going off without a major king
[02:02.75]Pain sorrow and empty treasures
[02:05.19]Spite the creator and deem creation simply better
[02:07.89]The world offers is lot of things but it's really lying
[02:10.50]And to the Lord the good life is really dying
[02:13.34]I'm the Lord's possession so my heart's in the heavens'
[02:16.00]True religion in my Jeans I stop guessing
[02:18.21]Never knew how lost I was till I found out
[02:22.59]
[02:23.44]That I couldn't hear his voice it was drowned out
[02:28.21]I was chasing things selfish dreams
[02:33.45]Now I see what he has for me
[02:37.07]It's the good life
[02:41.12]
[02:44.46]Even the sun goes down heroes die eventually
[02:47.48]Great careers end in the industry
[02:49.40]Empires implode; you may go down in history
[02:51.91]But everything will go down eventually
[02:54.67]
[02:55.20]Look you can stack bread but you can't stop death
[02:58.10]And there will be no comforter for you in that bed
[03:00.63]We all get laid out the games get played out
[03:02.97]In a maze headed to the grave and there's no way out
[03:05.55]You can't outlast life it fades out fast
[03:08.20]Death is coming for us all everything's gonna pass
[03:10.21]
[03:11.50]So look at it from that angle down
[03:13.62]My dreams gotta be bigger and greater than that
[03:16.53]I was with the persecuted martyrs in Asia
[03:18.97]Were living out their dreams though they was walking in danger
[03:21.75]Their dreams were lifting up the heart of the savior
[03:24.05]And living in a way that shows that he's all that they wait for
[03:26.84]One's stacking up the cake but one's walking in favor
[03:29.37]Living a good life 'cause they walk with the maker
[03:32.21]My dreams are different; you know that I've been changed now
[03:35.22]The good life is the life that's been laid down
[03:38.37]
[03:41.53]The good life is the good life
[03:50.02]
[03:52.18]The good life is the good life
