Eshon Burgundy
I Wish I Would (Extended)
[Hook: Jeremiah Bligen]
I've endured storms and outstayed drought
Grace got me sitting on a rain cloud
Whether up or not I never stay down
Faith got me waltzing on a wave now
(I wish I would)
Let that come and take me out the race
(I wish I would)
Let you come and take me out the frame
(I wish I would)
Act like I don't know the real from fake
(I wish I) Yeah (I wish I would)
Yeah (I wish I)
[Verse 1: Thre]
Flat-footed I stand
Black book in my hand
Traps looking like sand
Now how that look if I ran?
Look like I never been down before
Like I don't believe and doubt the Lord
If I don't retreat then it amount to more
Salute, the whole team is accounted for
I rep the Son of Man
The one who became flesh and murdered the same flesh
Just know when He come again
Though I remain flesh, I rest in the same death
I know that if we don't stand on His word
Then we bound to fall, that I don't doubt at all
OB the beat wanging, my head just keep banging
I'm saying I may need a Tylenol
I deny the false, I need truth
If you deny the cross, then we through
And I'm optimistic, no competition
Think all of y'all could be used
I know that's not how the game go
But if we all got the same goal
And we been set free as His elect, thee
But we do not have the same role, my God

[Verse 2: Jeremiah Bligen]
One time for the Most High
Two for the one-tow full drive
Full speed ahead in the land of the dead
And renewed in the head, lived full lives
(I wish I) Go another year and not start that
(I wish I) Have it right now and say "come back"
(I wish I) Not be here for my household
An infidel is what we call that look
I was taught to have my own mind
Follow God, go and love more
Always better to be called a square
Than in a circle that is full of clones
That's the reason why I write now
Truth won't ever let me pander
Even when they slander I am going hard
'Til my mic breaks like a dancing Jackson
And I know the battle here is won now
Walk can't be all kung pao
Yeah, they fighting, wanna keep us silent
But we got no plans to ever calm down
The words we speak is honestly some garbage
If we don't meet the Word with being about it
Evil want us sleeping, keep us doubting
But I believe that we received the promise

[Verse 3: Tone Spain]
Those problems wanna see me run and hide
But I'm ten toes, I don't run aside
When the storm's coming, I'mma come alive
I just gotta, gotta, gotta run it by
A lot of giants think I'm undersized
'Til I'm cutting, chopping like a samurai
Pray we walk in Spirit, every song abide
That's a lot of winning if we summarize
Wish I would try to stunt
Like I ain't been advocated by the Son
Like I ain't been activated by the Spirit
I won't be agitated by the bums
Chose by the foreknowledge of the Father
Discipled and graduated, I'm alum
Yeah they be scoffing, clapping at the King
I promise they cap, but wait until it's dark
[Verse 4: Eshon Burgundy]
Back from the dead
Half of my head full of dreds
Sound doctrine my oxygen
[Unlike rock and might?] know the ledge
The Father dropping all kinda gems
In my element like halogen
They wanna thin my light like Leviathan
But in Him I lie all my acquired sin, yeah yeah
Down by the water, baptizing my son and my daughters
Capsizing the ship with the enemy
When I submit to the word of the author
So the target get hit like an archer
The chip on my shoulder get dipped in the sauce
I'm feeling forgiven, my counsel is listen
I'm back on the mission, I'm back to the altar
Making an offer
[Outro: Jay Cabassa]
I was left for dead but You gave life
Living on the edge as a suicide
Rescued my life, turned it all around, yeah
It's in you, yeah, give it all away
Oh no, I won't do it no more, living for You
I present, yeah, yeah
It's a lot of drama over there now, there now
They too busy tryna live in head now, head now
I don't wanna seem down, wanna seem free
Living for the Kingdom, that's the only way to be
I wish I
