Silly Lyrics by Leland Philpot

From 20 to 20K

2017

Hook:
They tell me don't follow your dreams, you silly, you stupid
They say you falling with the beats, that's silly and stupid
Haters think that make me leave, that's silly and stupid
If you listen when I speak you can see why I do this
Verse 1:
Had a gift, I growing in the midst
Gang leaders was the kids, I banged speakers with the kicks
14, poor scene but rich vision
You could've took my clothes I would've noticed nothing missing
I was thoughtless, but the talent said otherwise
My calling was found when I rapped with a couple guys
Of whom I'd like to name, but they stabbed me in the back
And it's because of them that I can lace a track
Spitting in the street gave us major dap, radio playing back
The heat, even the hatred ain’t change the fact God gave us rap
Rest in Peace Mr. Mcgee, he why I got the ear
Hot and clear, why I was shocked to hear he was not so near
His spirit self, gotta know your inner me
The war of the mind through the eons and centuries
Stopped playing, made Christ the centerpiece
“Whereas I was blind, now I see” free
Hook:
They tell me don't follow your dreams, you silly, you stupid
They say you falling with the beats, that's silly and stupid
Haters think that make me leave, that's silly and stupid
If you listen when I speak you can see why I do this
Verse 2:
Poem of a prayer, or maybe rap repentance
Past pushes me to try to pencil penance
Thanks, forgiving, I'm forgiven, for a minute I was livid at me
For not listening, but Jesus kept lifting me
Every fall heavy, I unsteady, wasn't ready
Reading the headings, not the themes in between
Those lines, “Not my will but thines...”
While he cried in Gethsemane, he needed to be sent for me
'Cause sin wasn't death to me, till it deadened me
Mentally, Intellectually, then it seemed as a test to me
Testament to testaments in men to be better
Not by might, I ain't that clever
Cleave to good, watch desires change
The design for you life won't shine till your mind's on a higher plane
Not saying this what I became, but I follow after
Streets of golden pasture, talk to your master
