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
