Joyner, I hear you're going through some things and it's getting tough, but I see you got my Word with you, it's a shame how the pain only thing make you pick it up You complain when it rains just once but I never hear thanks for that hundred days with the sun Could've ran to me first, ran to the drink first, and now I gotta have this conversation with you when you drunk, see Before I even start addressing it, I don't owe you any answers, so don't get used to it But I feel like you being genuine, but the truth is you can't handle the truth, Lucas But you kept it a buck and I love that, if I kept it a buck back, could you take what you stepping in? I know there's other folk that feel like you, so first thing I'mma do is let you know who you questioning I am the God who created the Earth I knew you'd start feeling yourself, so I made you from dirt Ain't no battery in your body, so who making it work? I made the Earth perfect, it's y'all making it worse Who put the seed in the fruit, put the fruit in the tree and that tree in another little seed but Me Then turned around and made you the same way after that But you was in your daddy's sack and this that daddy sack I am the One that put breath in your lungs and created the same mind that you question Me from You are lost, I'm the Way, I'm the potter, you're the clay And now the clay got something to say, okay You can never check Me, so check this, your standard For right and wrong is Me I am the checklist, I am right Wrong is whatever you're left with, I am life You without me is what death is I am the Judge, you answer me If I throw light, man, who throws it back at Me? And if all this falls, who can stand but Me? You go the cross but you cross-examine Me You say I made mistakes, you mistaking Me You made gods out of men who are clay to Me You put lives over lives that you ain't create Then feel a way 'cause all flesh the same to Me What if some of the people you naming to Me Wasn't really everything that you made them to be Or worse, what if they are and I take 'em with Me You telling Me there's any better place they could be? No way, you don't know, you just gotta push through 'Cause why you over here saying what I should do Somebody lost somebody last week and Came at me the same way, saying I should've took you You ask why the good die young But the truth is, none of y'all are good, not one The only one ever been good's My Son So to answer your question, the good die once (Jesus) What if I told you the truth when your mom died? You think you can choose when your mom dies? If you put it off twenty years away Twenty years later when that day came, would you not cry? You couldn't be God, you are not I My ways are not yours, your thoughts are not Mine You can't even deal with the pressure of your own life When you're not high, try looking into God mind See, I love them more than you ever did More than you ever could, death doesn't lessen it Let My own Son meet death as the evidence That I love 'em all, rap star to the president The real question is, what you living like? If I punish every sin, would you live tonight? So how you get mad when I give them other folks same chances I give you to get it right? You got a son that one day'll be a man You expect him to trust you when he don't understand Or even know what you up to 'Cause he knows that you love him, right? So trust that I love you
