Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Got born into a world
asking, "What’s in it for me?"
Scrolling through the gold and the plastic
chasing that applause on a screen
Every move on display
every win like a stage
Ego in the driver’s seat
runnin’ on the fumes of praise
But when the claps fade out
and the masks come off
you feel that hollow in the hallway
where the trophies cough
I had to ask myself
in the silence, in the still
Is my purpose just performance
or a way to heal?
[Chorus]
Purpose ain’t what I can get from the world
it’s what I can give to it (yeah)
When ego drives, it’s just a show, just a show
I’m tired of livin’ through it
When love drives purpose
then every breath is service (service)
I’m tryna turn my life
to a gift, not a purchase (oh)
[Verse 2]
Now I’m lookin’ in their eyes
not just lookin’ at their likes
See a story in the struggle
see a brother in the fight
Little acts, big waves
you can’t measure that in fame
Hold a hand, share a plate
say their hurt out loud by name
I don’t need a standing ovation
for a quiet day of care
I just need that inner whisper
sayin’, "Hey, I’m glad you’re there"
So if you see me in the light
under banners, under signs
Pray my heart stays in the kitchen
washin’ dishes in my mind (yeah)
[Chorus]
Purpose ain’t what I can get from the world
it’s what I can give to it
When ego drives, it’s just a show, just a show
and the soul don’t live in it
When love drives purpose
then every breath is service (service)
I’m tryna turn my life
to a gift, not a purchase
[Bridge]
Let me be a window
not a mirror, not a crown (hey!)
Let ‘em see the hope
every time I come around
If I rise, I rise
just to lift up all of us
Less about my name
more about the love I trust
[Chorus]
Purpose ain’t what I can get from the world
it’s what I can give to it
When ego drives, it’s just a show, just a show
I’m done performin’ it
When love drives purpose
then every breath is service (service)
I’m tryna turn my life
to a gift, not a purchase (yeah)
I’m tryna turn my life
to a gift, make it worth it
