I’ve had this song on repeat, and thought i would post the lyrics. Thanks RAS, this is inspiring & thought provoking. (link to song down below)

I’m chasing way more than clout; I’m chasing way more than fame. (Chorus)

I’m chasing more than a bag, I’m chasing what money can’t tame.

I’ve been broke for a while now, I think everything gon’ change

I look at the sky and I smile now, I do not have no complaints.

I ask God will he save my soul today (x4)

It’s been a long time coming I really been patient

It’s natural to feel some temptation, whenever you waiting, and that’s not from God there from Satan

He’s road got some slack, he the prince of the matrix, tell me I wanna be famous

Money comes in but so does the hatred, I am so close I can taste it

Money and drugs, women and sex, rapping bout Gucci the fragrance

All of these rappers so basic, truth hurts.. but It can’t co-exist with the matrix

They on some fake shit, mad song, but they still so contagious, My song will be one for the ages

They chasing money, I’m chasing greatness.

I’m chasing way more than clout; I’m chasing way more than fame. (Chorus)

I’m chasing more than a bag; I’m chasing what money can’t tame.

I was broke for a while now, I think everything gon’ change

Yeah he my dawg when the sun’s out, but where was he at in the rain.

I ask God will he save my soul today (x4)

God told me be patient, and do not give into temptation

The devil be doing the most, he don’t do vacation, he working more than a day shift

These rappers just say the same shit, I live with god, I don’t see familiar faces

They standing so tall in these houses so spacious, clean up your glasses and clean up your shades

The richest among us are stuck in a cage, I guess that’s a new age slave

This is that new world order..

I don’t wanna play this game (x2)

Everyone’s real fake, worried about the wrong things, and that’s the real plague.

I ain’t really worried bout’ clout, I ain’t really worried bout’ fame (Chorus)

I’d had a lotta lotta doubts, I’d had a lotta that pain.

I’m praising god in these droughts, and I’m praising god in that rain

I’m still on my knees every day when I pray, and this what I tell god man this what I say..

I say God will he save my soul today (x3)

I’m chasing way more than clout, I’m chasing way more than fame.

I m chasing more than a bag, I’m chasing what money cant tame.
