[00:00.000]Chase That (Ambition) - Lecrae
[00:10.270]Started with hanging posters on my bedroom walls
[00:13.142]To battle rapping for status up in the school halls
[00:15.807]Just call me double sushi thought I was too raw
[00:18.664]And hip-hop was my home I had my shoes off
[00:21.171]6'3"in high school but skip a hoop dream
[00:23.428]If I don't blow up
[00:24.923]Then maybe I'll try this school thing
[00:26.725]I went to college to do my family a favor
[00:28.920]But I couldn't pick a major 'cause I wanted to be major
[00:31.280]I tried selling work but it didn't work
[00:33.848]So I worked shopping center clerk finna go berserk
[00:36.599]Lunch break see me writing 16's over Mickey D's
[00:39.274]Skipping class making beats over 60 keys
[00:41.228]And I love that even though I'm just chasing
[00:43.688]Selfish ambition couldn't tell your boy naything
[00:45.908]Watch out all you rappers 'cause they finna let 'Crae in
[00:49.108]But I was sleeping on the Son like a Days Inn
[00:53.239]And you can have the money and you can have the fame
[00:56.312]For me I want the glory I'm living for the Name
[00:58.952]See life is just a picture I see outside the frame
[01:01.416]I'm living for a Kingdom that I ain't never seen
[01:03.944]And I'ma chase that I'ma I'ma chase that
[01:05.788]Found the key to life and best believe that I'ma play that
[01:08.756]Glory I'ma chase that I'ma I'ma chase that
[01:10.856]Glory I'ma chase that I'ma I'ma chase that
[01:14.651]I remember chasing the green feeling blue
[01:16.456]Only check I'm counting is the mic check 1-2
[01:19.024]All I wanted was the money and the fame and a new
[01:21.755]Somebody on my arm when I walk inside the room
[01:24.172]All I wanted was doom
[01:25.619]The same kind Alexander the Great felt when the earth ran out of room
[01:28.320]He conquered all he could but yet he's feeling consumed
[01:31.891]By this never-ending quest for glory he couldn't fuel
[01:34.405]Like a typical fool I would go hard
[01:36.568]Shooting for the moon but there's only one sun no co-star
[01:39.779]Chasing glory I shouldn't own
[01:41.427]Instead of living to make his name known I'm running after his throne
[01:44.722]I thought being on TV where everybody could see me
[01:47.338]Was nothing short of the easiest way I could see to please me
[01:50.238]I'll never be who I used to desperately wanted to be
[01:52.710]I'm too worried about the Lord getting credit instead of me
[01:55.251]And you can have the money and you can have the fame
[01:57.883]For me I want the glory I'm living for the Name
[02:00.702]See life is just a picture I see outside the frame
[02:02.526]I'm living for a Kingdom that I ain't never seen
[02:05.728]And I'ma chase that I'ma I'ma chase that
[02:07.661]Found the key to life and best believe that I'ma play that
[02:10.380]Glory I'ma chase that I'ma I'ma chase that
[02:12.387]Glory I'ma chase that I'ma I'ma chase that
[02:15.988]I used to wanna do it big
[02:17.764]When you're only focused on yourself that's small
[02:20.487]And they they used to tell me as a kid
[02:22.775]That I could do anything that I want except fall
[02:24.694]And now that I recall I was chasing my goals
[02:27.516]And every time I caught 'em they multiplied into mo'
[02:30.360]I never even thought about whether the Lord approved
[02:32.669]Call it selfish ambition I call it"I'm making moves"
[02:34.733]But history repeats itself evil's what it is
[02:37.774]'Cause Lucifer was cast away for doing what I did
[02:40.153]Created by the God who spoke the earth into existence
[02:43.231]Instead of chasing the Father's glory he was chasing his
[02:46.235]He lies to us all told Adam he could ball
[02:48.515]"Why you followin'God when you could go get it all"
[02:51.075]I'll tell you what's better or better yet worse
[02:53.444]Chasing your own glory by doing the Lord's work
[02:55.744]So holler if it hurts but we were made for greater
[02:58.016]Our greatest satisfaction is making his name famous
[03:00.351]So if we're never named among the greatest they don't critically acclaim us
[03:04.011]Ain't nothing to be ashamed of we gave it up for the Savior
[03:07.173]I'ma chase that I'ma I'ma chase that
[03:08.724]And the Lord's goodness you should you should taste that
[03:11.004]And you ain't livin' till you livin' for his name yeah
[03:13.656]Glory I'ma chase that I'ma I'ma chase that
