MISPLACED PRIORITIES
What has my visions been all this while?
Is it something worth of applause?
That's a question I could never answer cuz time and over again I've been doing it wrong
I'm only sixteen, born and raised with the love
Used to dwell inside the pain in my abode
My mind kept on telling me that I am at the wrong and that the rest of the world are all of my enemies
I had a girlfriend back when I was in highschool
Beautiful I'd say and she made me lose all my cool
Needed my attention and she wanted no diversion
I couldn't leave her if she need something I'd deliver
Love or lust- what is it that free me here?
I could not really tell but all I know I grew to care
At the expense of my family, my study and life
I was giving more than I had and it wasn't enough
Yeah
I used to be a decent kid
Now I'm demanding money that I didn't earn
Kept on dropping my grades but ain't no pain
Love a real funny feeling but yeah it's cool
Long as I got my girl I'ma live with it
Till she left me for good- I could not make do
What is it? Misplaced Priorities
Take a picture, edit up on Snapchat
I'mma take a picture too, no, scratch that
Sing me a song, gimme a beat, I'mma rap that
Try to prove me wrong, I'mma just laugh at that
Try to get me into a fight, I won't start that
And I'm feeling like I'm just going off track
I was gone for a while but now I am back
And I'm tryna prove a point and get on the right track
Get on the right track, I'm singing the right track
And I don't even need to worry 'cause God's got my back
I ain't lying, He is the right one
But I love Him for who He is and not what He's done
You shouldn't love God because He stuck up for you
You should love Him because it is the right thing to do
I see 'em tweeting, I see 'em liking, I see 'em typing
I ain't saying that it's wrong, just not the right thing

Well when we think bout it, it is really funny
Wasting our time on things that doesn't matter
We only got one life and that is all forever
Trusting in our inner self and really with the father
Trusting in the father
The former and the latter
Acting as tho everyone around me is my brother
Tryna hide my demons, I've been praying to the father
I don't bother about all the stuff that doesn't matter
Danny
Stuff that doesn't matter
Hello abba father
He's the ladder through the means I can reach all the matter
All the evil dwelling in my shadow I'ma let go
Even though I feeling kinda cocky
I'ma really rocky
Yeah, I'm really rocky, anything but cocky
Got some homies thinking it's a game, it isn't funny
I'm not one to give up all I have just to feel funky
That I believe doesn't mean that I don't care 'bout the money, yeah
