The builders prayer

(A deep exhale... low, gravelly hum) "Yeah... they see the glory, they don't see the knees on the floor.

It’s a partnership, man. You and the Creator.

But don’t think He’s gonna walk the miles for you.

You gotta tie your own laces. Big General. Listen..." Look, I wake up early, put my knees to the floor and I pray

’Cause without Him leading the vision, man, I’m just in the way

I planted seeds in the dirt when the sky was looking gray

Now I’m harvesting the light, keeping all the demons at bay.

They say success is just a couple habits, kept on repeat

Discipline weighs ounces, but the failure? That’s a heavy defeat

It’s the small wins daily that’ll put the shoes on your feet

But a few errors in judgment? That’ll have you back on the street.

I put that energy out, I let the vibes oscillate

What you give to the world is what’s landing back on your plate

I’m talkin’ tenfold blessings, yeah, I’m watching 'em rotate

Moving with a purpose, I don't leave my dinner to fate.

It’s for the family, the grind, I’m consistent with the motion

Faith like a mountain, I’m deeper than any ocean

Regret weighs tons, so I stay drowning in the devotion

Consistency wins—it’s the only way to get the promotion.[Hook] I’m on my knees in the morning, then I’m up on my feet

I know the Lord is my shepherd, but I still gotta eat

You can’t just pray for the rain and never till up the soil

The blessings come from the spirit, but the fruit’s in the toil

Yeah, it’s God over everything, He’s the one in control

But he gave me the shovel just to dig out the hole

Happiness is the path, but the work is the price

Put the God over greed, man, I’m changing my life. Look, I had to realize a mansion wasn't built on a wish

God provide the water, but you gotta go catch the fish

I stopped looking for handouts, I stopped looking for luck

If you’re waiting on a miracle while you’re lazy, you’re stuck.

I seen 'em chasing the high, I seen 'em chasing the fame

But without the Holy Spirit, man, it’s all in vain

True happiness is internal, it’s a peace in the war

But I’m still grinding like I’m broke, tryna open the door.

Consistency is the key, I’m turning locks every day

The devil’s whispering "quit," but I got nothing to say

I just lean on the Word when the road getting narrow

He’s watching over me, I know He’s watching the sparrow.

So I’m putting in the hours, yeah, I’m clocking the time

Between the sweat and the spirit, that’s the ladder I climb

It’s a partnership, homie—He provides all the light

But it’s on me to keep moving through the dark of the night.[outro] "See, people get it twisted. They think faith is an excuse to be still.

Nah. Faith is the fuel that keeps your engine running when the tank looks empty.

If you want that positive energy to come back tenfold, you gotta put that work in the atmosphere first.

Don't be discouraged by the 'tons' of the struggle...

Just focus on the 'ounces' of the discipline today.

God's got the blueprint, but you’re the builder.

Respect the process.
