[Intro] [Jazz piano loop, heavy 808 sub-bass drone, crisp hi-hats] [Verse 1][Male vocal, low conversational register, rapid-fire syncopated 16th notes, dense delivery] Yeah, look. I've been grinding, heavy hands, trying to build something that stands Everybody telling me to hustle, chase the bag, expand But the pressure's getting sharp, and it's cutting through my plans Got the weight of the world and I'm sinking in the sand Spirit's feeling hollow while the bank account demands Trading time with my babies for a dollar in my hands Something whispers in the quiet, tells me, "I got bigger plans" But it's hard to hear the signal when the money reprimands [Verse 2][Male vocal, low conversational register, rapid-fire syncopated 16th notes, dense delivery, heavy trap beat] Bright coins on the timeline, everybody out here flexing Status is the currency, and envy is the weapon Scrolling through the highlight reels, it's got my soul second guessing Heavy purse but empty heart, that's a dangerous confession I've been running someone else's race and calling it a blessing Chasing silver down a road that leads me to regression Then the vast sky opens up, and I can feel a new direction Like the Father's steady voice just cuts through the deception [Pre-Chorus Drop] [Beat drops out, piano only] [Chorus][Male vocal, melodic soulful singing, high register, slow held vowels, powerful downbeat, warm gospel reverb] Seek ye first, seek ye first Let the heavy gold fall, let it hit the dirt Seek ye first His steady word Where the quietest voice on earth is heard Oh, the kingdom is a quiet place Let the silver lose its shiny grace Seek ye first, and everything will follow [Verse 3][Male vocal, low conversational register, rapid-fire syncopated 16th notes, dense delivery, driving hi-hats] I got still. I stopped running. Let the engine die. In the silence, I could hear Him, clear as the open sky He said, "Son, I carved the road, you don't need to wonder why Just put your trust in Me and watch My promises apply" So I'm walking to the land that He's been holding by design Every step a little lighter now, I'm leaving heavy behind And the passion and the purpose and the kingdom start to climb When I seek Him first, everything falls right in line [Bridge][Male vocal, breathless intense delivery, increasing density, rising energy, driving hi-hats] I don't wanna build a house on the sand! I don't wanna hold to a broken plan! I'm dropping the weight of a desperate man! I'm opening wide, I understand! I'm stepping aside, here I am! [Chorus][Male vocal, melodic soulful singing, high register, massive arrangement, gospel choir backing, big finish climax] Seek ye first, seek ye first Let the heavy gold fall, let it hit the dirt Seek ye first His steady word Where the quietest voice on earth is heard Oh, the kingdom is a quiet place Let the silver lose its shiny grace Seek ye first, and everything will follow [Outro][Male vocal, low intimate spoken word] Yeah. Seek ye first. Everything else will follow.
