Lyrics
Every day, you know that I gotta pray, no houses on Beverly way
The singer prays daily and doesn't live in lavish areas like Beverly Way but hails from less affluent neighborhoods.
But came from the subs of Waverly place
Originating from a humble background represented by Waverly place.
Came from the minors, but major league plays
Started small but now makes significant moves.
Come into play, when I be spittin', I don't ever st-st-stutter, I just cleverly slay
The singer's flow is smooth without stutter, cleverly delivering verses.
JC Chasez as I dance over all the competition, you know I just gotta kill em, when I feel the beat I say
Confidence in surpassing competition, likening it to JC Chasez's dance moves.
Hear me, hear me, hear ye, hear ye
Calling for attention.
Sear thee, getting the grill, cut up fillet
Metaphorically, preparing oneself like cutting up a fillet for the grill.
Feel me feel me, real me, real me
Asking to be understood authentically.
Over the hill, hit like La Flame, healing the lepers and lames
Comparing impact to La Flame (possibly Travis Scott), referencing healing and empowering.
This is the water that flows from the lake
Referencing a source of life, strength, or inspiration.
Why am I yelling like Stephen A yells in First Take?
Expressing passionately, akin to Stephen A. Smith on 'First Take.'
Cause I gotta message that I gotta say
Feeling compelled to share a significant message.
Kingdom come and His be done, and prison slums become undone, this the news
Referencing biblical themes of transformation and redemption.
Overcome, shocked and stunned, daughters sons, love and blood, this is no ruse
Emphasizing the importance of love and family.
Believe me when I tell the truth
Urging belief in the singer's sincerity.
Pierces like Paul when you know what to do
Comparing impact to the biblical figure Paul.
I gotta walk cause he walked in my shoes
Following the path set by a higher power.
I gotta walk cause he walked in my shoes
Reiterating the previous line for emphasis.
Every day, every day you know that I gotta go out and slay
Repetition emphasizing the daily commitment to excel.
Every day, every day you know that I gotta go out and slay
-Every day, every day you know that I gotta go out and slay
-Every day, every day you know that I gotta go out and slay
-Take it slow I mean
Advising to proceed steadily, allowing a higher power to guide.
Take it smooth I mean
-No, don't rush I mean
-God makes the moves I mean
-That's the way that I've always lived
Living a life by giving back what one receives.
Giving only what he has given
Possibly referencing a biblical verse (Hebrews 1:2:1).
H.E.B., 1-2:1
An allusion to spiritual protection.
No sunscreen on, soaking up the Son
Metaphorically soaking up divine influence.
Keep my head in the clouds cause of witnesses
Remaining focused despite distractions.
It don't make sense till less you reading up
Understanding only comes with knowledge.
Catching the pace and I'm speeding up flow
Expressing the intensity of effort and the expected returns.
Actively search while I actively sow
-Matter of factually tho, maybe like 30 no-60 no 100 fold
-Look! Jesus, behold
Referencing biblical figures, strength, and victory over adversaries.
Lion and Lamb who sits on the throne
-All enemies fall, all enemies crumble
Assurance in defeating opposition.
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey
Encouragement to speak clearly.
Don't mumble speak up (ok)
Using wordplay to emphasize a message about seeking humility and avoiding seeking personal glory.
Get gassed or light up (propane)
-Saying like "Let us" (Romaine)
-No glory look up (No fame)
-No word play, what the word say, is that final glory will be to Him always
Emphasizing adherence to scripture.
So I'm looking up to thee knowing UV's hit my skin till I get all my vitamin C oh
Metaphorically seeking spiritual nourishment and growth.
Every day, every day you know that I gotta go out and slay
Repeated emphasis on the commitment to excellence.
Every day, every day you know that I gotta go out and slay
-Every day, every day you know that I gotta go out and slay
-Every day, every day you know that I gotta go out and slay
-I gotta run the race with the ambition
Determined to give their all, seeking divine guidance and power.
Ambivalence is not an option I'm feeling
-I gotta put all of me in commission
-The Immanence is the high power that's sealing
-The Infinite is the reward that I seek
Desiring redemption from sin and a humble life.
My sinfulness is the disease that He's killin'
-No mills in my sight I just want to be meek
-Sozo on Sozo I need that real healin', on God
Seeking spiritual healing and growth, expressing dedication to spreading a message.
If you want C.R.E.A.M. then you gotta leave some room
-I want to yield fruit, so I gotta get the loom
-I need a get clean, so He gotta get the broom
-And Until the world knows, yeah I gotta hit the groove
-This is the groove, this is the way that I flow, this is the way that I go
Reiteration of the artist's style and commitment.
This is the groove, this is the way that I flow, this is the way that I go
-Every day, every day you know that I gotta go out and slay
Final repetition emphasizing the commitment to excel daily.
Every day, every day you know that I gotta go out and slay
-Every day, every day you know that I gotta go out and slay
-Every day, every day you know that I gotta go out and slay
