Motives Lyrics by DYP

2020

[Intro: DYP]
Psssh
Yo I've been gone for a minute
I need to just
Yo yo just put somethin' on man, let me spit to somethin'
Yeah
Haha yo I like this man this is dusty
Yeah
This is takin' me back you nah mean?
This feels like, late night New York City radio or somethin you nah mean?
Back in the day
I got to let 'em know I'm back though, you nah mean?
Yo
Yo

[Verse 1: DYP]
People be like "Yo where you been at?"
They hit me on the DM
Cuz I been MIA from the AM to the PM
Sometimes I lay low like lookin' for dirt
Out of sight, out of mind, but I've been puttin' in work

I been, too busy to write and record
Cuz see I been gettin' busy gettin' right with the Lord
If it ain't for His glory, as far as I'm concernеd
That's the end of my story, court is adjourned

Gotta gеt the motive right like a homocide detective
Lord show me the light and I promise I'll reflect it
Use me as Your vessel, so I could be a blessing
Or crush me to pieces, so I could be a lesson

Whatever is Your will, Lord I humbly accept
Better to live for Christ than die with a hundred regrets
So I'mma shout the name Jesus, not under my breath
To the ends of the earth, till there's none of us left

I'm unashamed of the gospel Romans 1-1-6
That's why I throw these bars at you like a ton of bricks
In your face with my faith, by any means I'm trying to reach sinners
My style throwback like laterals or flea flickers

My friends say I should switch up my style
But I don't follow trends, so they'll be waitin' for awhile
I'm still boom bap with that risen from the tomb rap
If it's in the will of God I'll blow up like the Zoom app

[Outro: DYP]
You know what I mean?
If it happens it happens
Regardless I'mma still be rappin'
You see the plan was never to accumulate a ton of fans
But to die to daily and imitate the Son of Man
Word
I don't do this for awards I don't do this for rewards
I do this for the honor, praise and glory of the Lord
You nah mean?
What's your motivation?
A lot of rappers out here lookin' suspect
They say they'd die for Christ when they don't even live for Christ
Ya gotta check your motives
Ya gotta check your motives
Ya gotta check your motives
