Purpose Over Pleasure Lyrics

By Jonathan Traylor

Lyrics

Verse

I be tryna make it into heaven though

But you be tryna knock me off my course though

Voices in my head screaming YOLO yea,

But you only die once too

My flesh be like I’m gonna do what I wanna do

But once this life is over there ain’t no redos

You either go up or to your eternal tomb

You either go up or to your eternal doom

It’s never that easy to choose purpose

I will die to my flesh live a life of worship

I’m really really really tryna make it into heaven

I’m tryna hear him say two words like well done


Chorus

Purpose over pleasure

I ain’t got no time for you shenanigans

I’m tryna make it into heaven

I ain’t got no time to be playin’ with sin

You can miss me with all that boy!


Verse 2

Tryna hold me down don’t wanna see me grow

Tryna hold me back don’t wanna see me go no

Forward, forward into my destiny

You really don’t want me to be who God created me to be

But imma keep on growin’

Imma keep on goin’

Imma keep my focus up up up up

Cause your boy if heaven bound

After that there ain’t no coming down

I’m tryna get my crowns yea yea


Chorus

Purpose over pleasure

I ain’t got no time for you shenanigans

I’m tryna make it into heaven

I ain’t got no time to be playin’ with sin

You can miss me with all that boy!


Bridge 8x

Everyday you try to test me

But I’m killin’ my flesh it get kind of messy


Now Playing...
