SIDELINES (Move, King Remix)

V5.5

[INTRO - SPOKEN] Yeah... To every man hearing this... Yea, you. Son. Father. Brother. Leader. Creator. Before you point at the next man... Look in the mirror first. Answer this: What did you do with what God gave you? That gift in your hand... That vision in your chest... That child calling your name... That assignment you keep running from... Was it fear? Was it pride? Was it comfort? Did you call fear "being careful"? Call delay "waiting on God"? Call silence "keeping the peace"... When really... You was dodging the weight. Because a crown ain't jewelry. A crown is responsibility. Everybody wanna be called a king... But kings don't live on the sidelines. BLACKSONIX... LET'S WORK! [CHORUS 1 - NINJAS] [LEAD] Where my ninjas? [CROWD] Dey on da sidelines! [LEAD] Why they there? [CROWD] Because they stay blind! [LEAD] Call 'em to war! [CROWD] It's game time! [LEAD] Who on the field? [CROWD] Ones who light shine! [VERSE 1 - THE WATCHERS] Everybody got a jersey, but who ready to lead? Big talk in the comments, quiet when it's time to bleed. Watching from the bleachers, analyzing every move. Mad when the play connects, but never stepped in the room. Saw your brother building, pride wouldn't let you clap, Love was in your heart, but ego held it back. You saw the vision coming, watched the numbers climb. Now you act like you never recognized the sign. God put a fire in you, fear put it on freeze. Buried your own blessing under comfort and ease. Calling envy wisdom, calling fear being smart. Standing by a locked door with the key in your heart. Everybody wants the crown when the spotlight hits. Nobody wants the weight when the darkness hits. You can talk like a boss, you can pose like you won... But what good is a crown... If you never carry one? [CHORUS 2 - PLAYERS] [LEAD] Where my players? [CROWD] Dey on da sidelines! [LEAD] Why they there? [CROWD] Because they stay blind! [LEAD] Call 'em to war! [CROWD] It's game time! [LEAD] Who on the field? [CROWD] Ones who light shine! [VERSE 2 - QUEEN MOVES] Queen made her move... Now the whole room silent. Funny how they disappear when purpose starts rising. They watched from the doorway, waiting for the score. Close enough to see it... but never walked through the door. The Queen made her move... Where's the King in you? Not the crown in your caption. Not the image you show. I'm talking about the man who stands when nobody knows. A king ain't a title. A king carries weight. He protects what was given. He shows up when it's late. Who you covering when pressure hits home? Who feels your presence when the money is gone? A father ain't a signature. A father ain't a name. It's showing up daily when nobody knows your pain. Blood makes connection... Sacrifice makes the man. God put that assignment right there in your hands. The question ain't what you wanted. The question ain't what you planned. What did you do with what God placed in your hands? [BRIDGE] No crowd. No followers. No applause. No image. No excuses. Just you... The Master... And what He trusted you with. That gift. That child. That vision. That influence. That responsibility. The question remains: What did you do with what I gave you? [VERSE 3 - THE MIRROR] I pointed at the crowd... Then I looked in the glass. Saw moments God gave me that I let pass. Called delay wisdom when the truth was fear. Had everybody watching, wasn't present right here. I know how pride talks. I know how ego hides. Know how a man can smile while something dies inside. Every one of us got something we were called to bring. Every one of us got purpose buried underneath. A gift buried... is still a gift wasted. When the Master comes back... what will you have to show? Not your likes. Not your name. Not your fame in the street. What did you build... when nobody could see? [FINAL CHORUS - BALLERS] [LEAD] Where my ballers? [CROWD] They off da sidelines! [LEAD] Why they move? [CROWD] 'Cause they see the signs! [LEAD] Call 'em to war! [CROWD] It's game time! [LEAD] Who on the field? [LEAD] Ones who light... SHINE! [LEAD] Where my fathers? [CROWD] Off da sidelines! [LEAD] Where my builders? [CROWD] Off da sidelines! [LEAD] Where my leaders? [CROWD] Off da sidelines! [LEAD] We on the field... We let our light... SHINE! [OUTRO - SPOKEN] When your moment came... Did you step onto the field? Or did you watch... From the sidelines? What did you do... With what God gave you?
