Swift (fka R-Swift) - Red Rover (Remix) lyrics

[Hook: Jeremiah Bligen & Tracie Frank] Red rover, red rover, you won't break me down [Verse 1: Swift] Everyday that I wait, feeling like enemy of the state Conquering that enemy in that mirror, I see the end of me in my face Giving them truth but they can't relate Cause they expect for me to be fake Just forsake, offer the chase Pump the brakes and would I be late? No! chance that your boy on promo Darts aiming at the heart but he won't fold The threat is cleared but I'd be gone if I let fear Get me locked up in a chokehold So I go, go-rilla Got no time to blow smoke when I'm facing the k**a Steps ordered Even though they wanna see my breath slaughtered Can't erase what He built up, up I keep my head up to the sky Waging war against these lies Even if that means I gotta die (gotta die) As sure as these words are the d**h of me It's not the same when the blood drips for the legacy I'm a survivor but dying on my own God on the throne gave me the strength to triumph over foes As long as His glory's the linin' in the robe They can try but they can't defeat the lion in the soul What up [Pre-Hook: Jeremiah Bligen & Tracie Frank] Against 300 Spartans we will stand firm Upon your Word, your Word stands sure In every area in life we will wage war Not by might but your Spirit Lord Fight like hell, fight like Hell Is an actual place Though it's secured by grace Perseverance proves faith Through it all we'll endure this race [Hook] [Verse 2: Eshon Burgundy] You don't wanna chatter no more, cool I'm no longer taking y'all to school Take the bus like everybody else, I'll keep my mouth shut you make your own rules How you gonna call us what we're not, Eshon? Why you wanna put us in a box, Eshon? You was the man, I wanted to shake your hand Used to be a big fan, now I'm not, Eshon What, you don't like when I speak my mind? You want me to succumb to dumb, deaf and blind? You don't see I'm shooting down our frontline? Look around everybody dying at the same time One in the head, one in the heart Don't turn on your light when you come to the dark Keep your light off, don't turn your light on If you turn your light on they gonna think that you soft But we ain't soft by a long shot, I might go off like an alarm clock That's grace keeping me I don't trust my flesh gotta keep my faith on top I know a lot waiting to see But that doubt ain't never the place to be And He promised I'll never see defeat I'm in a box but He buried me with the key I'm throwing shots but I'm doin' it outta love I ain't 'Pac, I ain't trying to hit 'em up Look they ain't even gotta duck Cause I'm poppin' that Ephesians 6:12 But I ain't never been shooting at a man I was always clappin' at my mind set And these like wounds from a friend 'Til they try to snatch it out of context Salute [Hook] (x8) [Extended Hook: Jeremiah Bligen] Red rover, red rover, you won't break me down You won't break me down You won't break me down [Bridge: Jeremiah Bligen] We won't faint, we won't faint We won't faint, for You reign We won't faint, we won't faint We won't faint, for You reign [Verse 3: Jeremiah Bligen] Father they're slaying our sisters, beheading our brothers It's just a matter of time before they come cross this water I know that Winter is Coming, I see the cost of the martyrs Before the reaper come knocking, Lord get this here house in order Separate wheat from the tares, let your remnant remain Let our hearts fail not as we plaster your Name They'll try to soak us with shame, abominations will reign Until you come back to get us we're occupying your grace Salute [Bridge 2: Jeremiah Bligen] We will raise, we will raise We will raise, for You reign We will raise, we will raise We will raise, for You reign [Verse 4: Jeremiah Bligen] And we are so undeserving yet you still come to meet us In the cool of this day you sent your love to retrieve us Though the allure of this plight tries to appeal to our sight We'll keep our eyes fixed, you Lasik our life Salute [Bridge 3: Jeremiah Bligen] We won't faint, we will raise So we sing Lord You reign We won't faint, we will raise So we sing Lord You reign Lord You reign, Lord You reign Lord You reign, Lord You reign Lord You reign, Lord You reign Lord You reign, Lord You reign [Outro: Jeremiah Bligen] Red rover, red rover, you won't break me down
