(Hook) (Melodic rap hook) I don’t wanna pray last, I don’t wanna wait Till I’m tired, till I’m done, till I’m running on faith I don’t wanna call God only when I’m empty I wanna trust Him now — before I’m empty (Verse 1) (Clear, steady, conversational flow) I only look up when I’m flat on my face When the pressure hits hard and I can’t escape Prayer turns panic, faith turns fear God where were You? — but You been here Jeremiah said seek Him with all your heart But I seek solutions, You come after the dark I want peace, not process Blessings, not closeness Conviction used to hit me like a warning sign Now I justify the wrong just to ease my mind Romans said don’t conform, renew the brain But I let the world slowly pull the reins (Hook) I don’t wanna pray last, I don’t wanna wait Till I’m tired, till I’m done, till I’m running on faith I don’t wanna call God only when I’m empty I wanna trust Him now — before I’m empty (Verse 2) (More intensity) I stay busy ‘cause stillness makes me nervous Silence is holy but noise feels worthless Psalm forty-six — be still, know God But I drown His voice just to feel strong “I got this,” yeah that’s what I say Till I hit the wall at the end of my strength Proverbs said don’t lean on my view But I trust myself more than I trust You Bad company corrupts the soul Stayed to belong, lost self-control Laughing at things I used to fight Slow fade, compromise in sight (Bridge - Spoken) (Strip beat) Truth is… I’m scared of surrender Scared of what You’ll ask Who You’ll tell me to walk away from But You said if I lose my life I’ll finally find it So why am I holding on To what’s slowly killing me? (Verse 3) (Resolute, confident) Matthew sixteen, verse twenty-five Lose it for Him, that’s how you survive No backup plan, no fake control Just open hands and an honest soul (Final Hook) (Full energy) I don’t wanna pray last, I don’t wanna wait I don’t wanna live faith on yesterday I don’t wanna call God only when I’m empty I wanna trust Him now — before I’m empty
