Swoope - Best of Me lyrics

[Hook: Natalie Lauren] All of the things I do for love Wondering if it's good enough I can't let it take control of me But I promise I'll stay I promise, you'll see I promise to give you the best of me [Verse 1: Swoope] Will I let you down? Will I disappoint? If it's too many bars, will you miss the point? Rapping that Similac or giving voice to the loins Making music for the shows or explicit joints Paying homage to the heads, the k**a Bee's A bunch of similes over Dilla beats Or maybe I instead start mimicking the industry Get trapped in a genre that isn't me I know you gotta play the game for the victory Balance is the challenge, selling out is a quick defeat Trying not to let my identity Be wrapped up in whether or not you play repeat or skip this beat Whether or not you're impressed by my wordplay Drama that my verbs make, keeping me in first place Was that line offensive? Should you run it back? Did you catch that metaphor on the first play? Is my status based off of endless tweets? If you're talking cla**ics, will you mention me? I don't wanna let y'all down, what if you don't feel me? Will you have a field day if this feels weak? I know I probably shouldn't say this But hey it's Sinema, I'm giving you the real me Is this pressure Because I made my success an obsession? Am I lesser? When Christ says that I'm already accepted now This standard that I'm holding up the reason I can't let you down [Hook: Natalie Lauren] [Verse 2: Swoope] It's been two years, and I am afraid of Not making a cla**ic that's not Wake Up The weight of, the weight of the last one kinda takes a Toll on my heart, pay up, keep it in line, shape up Taper, gonna take a whole lot more to fade us You see what my heart's made of, darker than Darth Vader Want the Marc Jacobs More than the ladder that's marked "Jacob's" The latter is far greater, former is small taters Compared to the glory the Lord's been storing for our sake cuz After Revelation, way before Sega That's Genesis, His image is making us far greater So I ain't gotta measure up to your standard Cuz I know I don't measure up to your standard Perfection of the cross says I'm inadequate handle this My heart wasn't made for glory But the blessing of the cross says I'm that equipped to battle this Why? Cuz Jesus stands before me I'm human, I'm prone to fail you, on E So at some point I'm gonna fail you, sorry It's freedom in that, so stop stressing On whether I'm hot or not, stop guessing I don't need your two thumbs up, so stop texting Perfection is the goal, but excellence is accepted All last year I was wrestling with depression School of hard knocks till I finally learned the lesson You don't learn to trust God till you gotta trust God Don't learn you got nothing until it's just God [Hook: Natalie Lauren] All of the things I do for love
