about

Chorus:

If you talk that talk, better walk that walk

Give it all you got, run that race, don't stop


Verse 1:

Yo if it's a mic to rip I'll take my time to spit
Don't write rhymes too quick otherwise you'll quit
I'm dropping lines to send don't lose sight of Him
No one can make it on their own, though you can try to win

So i gotta stop talking when I'm not
Walking on this walk chalk it on my heart

If a picture paints a thousand words one action is a billion
Hit the scriptures for an ounce of courage to act out what you're hearing

I black out when I'm gearing to get
maxed out by the spirit cuz it's
not me, but God who plans out all his children

if I'm not following his word how'mi sposed to follow his will?
And sometimes it's not easy like a crawl up a hill

But The Lord said the way is narrow so I'm following him
To keep my focus on the Hallowed and not wallow in sin

But words don't speak much, they say actions speak louder
may my actions re-route the praise to the All-Powerful


(Chorus)


Verse 2:

I never said I was perfect
Sometimes my words are just worthless

And my actions don't reflect the purpose
Of what I try to say in these verses

I've given it some thought,
But let's just scratch the surface

So let's see what I've brought
Living a life of service

When my words become my actions
And I'm giving it all I've got

When my actions become my words
And I'm living it with no afterthought

And it'd be awful if I forgot
Without love than it's all for naught

It's a physical onslaught
It can feel like a bomb dropped.

Persevere like I was taught
Trip myself up; I better not

I seem to have a lot of questions
Questions I've got a lot.

And I still ain't learned my lessons
Better write that on my checklist

I get caught up in my senses
Makes my words sound senseless

I'll let my actions be my voice
Or else all I say is noise

So know I've made my choice
So consider me employed

If your actions aren't deployed
Then your words are just decoyed

If your words fall devoid
Then your actions are destroyed


(Chorus)
