Until I'm Gone

[Intro: Derek Minor] See I've been in the game for a minute It's been a crazy ride No matter where I go One thing we all have in common is We all have crazy pains and crazy hurts And every time I want to give up, I can see it in their faces And I start thinking, "I can't give up! Can't give up." [Hook: BJ the Chicago Kid] I've been in so many places And I see pain all on my people faces So I'mma tell 'em about Your love until I'm gone now Until I'm gone now And I got a whole lotta livin' I'mma do Now, I'm finally winning and I owe it all to You That's why I'mma give it all I got until I'm gone now Until I'm gone now [Bridge: Derek Minor] I came up from the bottom I came up from the bottom And I ain't even supposed to be here if it was up to y'all And I think God had different plans for me Different plans for me, oh yeah I gave Him all of my problems Yeah, I gave Him all of my problems He told me if I trust Him, I'm His son, and don't worry about nothin', don't worry about nothin' [Verse 1: Derek Minor] This for my people that struggle to pay off they light bill In they heart man, they wonder if Christ real Or the next meal I can tell you how that life feel Political pawns in the hands of the people that make all the laws They set up the game, so we only ones losing Don't act so appalled And we failed We been held in these chains long enough I rebel what they sell Let this light shine in us I'm trying to show the world what I've seen He can turn clay to a king Do you even know what that means? Do you even know who you supposed to be Well let me tell you? [Hook: BJ the Chicago Kid] I've been in so many places And I see pain all on my people faces So I'mma tell 'em about Your love until I'm gone now Until I'm gone now And I got a whole lotta livin' I'mma do Now, I'm finally winning and I owe it all to You That's why I'mma give it all I got until I'm gone now Until I'm gone now [Verse 2: Derek Minor] Cuz' I don't know how to fix this I'm just trying to survive the tempest I'm just trying to pray God will hear this I feel like they got us on their hit list I've been on a mission Impossible, Tom Cruise flew in the old school Think of how some kids only eat in the lunch room And they wonder why they fight in their home rooms How can you focus, when hunger is potent There is lead in the water of poor But you wouldn't notice Your head is so far up in the clouds on a very high horse We at war with ourselves While at war with each other Just know I'll never give up on you All of my sisters and brothers Oh don't you worry now This ain't the end of the story now No matter what comes or what go, we gonna hold you The truth that we hold, we gonna hold it down, yeah This is that motivation unadulterated This for the people that say when they felt like giving up We gon' make it Hit the shot at the buzzard, it's still a win What I'm saying is as long as you still alive, better try again What I'm saying, the morning is coming Time to rise and shine again Time to get back on the grind again For everybody that be getting up Let me see your hands high again Let em' know [Hook: BJ the Chicago Kid] I've been in so many places And I see pain all on my people faces So I'mma tell 'em about Your love until I'm gone now Until I'm gone now And I got a whole lotta livin' I'mma do Now, I'm finally winning and I owe it all to You That's why I'mma give it all I got until I'm gone now Until I'm gone now [Outro: BJ the Chicago Kid] Gone now Gone now I'll give You what You deserve That's all I need
