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 it's other folk that feel like you, so first thing I'ma 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
For you was in your daddy's sack in his dad daddy's 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 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 lightning, who throws it back at me?
And if all this falls, who can stand but me?
You go the cross, for you cross-examine me
You say I made mistakes, you mistaking me
You made gods out of men who were 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?
Are you telling me it's any better place they could be?
Either way you don't know, you just gotta push through
'Cause while 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 died once (Jesus)
What if I told you to choose 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
And 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
