I know i stop showing chords at the middle of the first verse but just play
through the whole song. Play along with violins.
Am C
Starting with hanging posters on my bedroom walls
G D Dsus D
To battle rappin’ for status up in the school halls
Am C
Just call me double sushi, thought I was to raw
G D Dsus D
And hip hop was my home I had my shoes off
Am C
6’3” in high school, well skip a hoop dream
G D Dsus D
If I don’t blow up then maybe, I’ll try the school thing
I went to college to do my family a favor
But I couldn’t pick a major cause I wanted to be major
I tried sellin work, but it didn’t work
So I worked, shopping center clerk, finna go berzerk
Lunch Break , see my writing 16’s over Micky D’s
Skippin class, makin beats over 60 keys
And I love that, that even though I’m just chasing
Selfish Ambition couldn’t tell your boy nothing
Watch out all you rappers’ cause they finna let ‘Crae in
But I was sleepin’ on the Son like Days Inn
Bridge
And you can have the money
And you can have the fame
But me I want the Glory
I’m livin for the Name
See life is just a picture
I see outside the frame
Im livin for a kingdom that I ain’t never seen
Chorus
And I’m I’m chase that
I’m I’m chase that
Found the key to life and best believe that I’m I’m play that (Glory)
I’m I’m chase that
I’m I’m chase that (glory)
I’m I’m chase that
I’m I’m chase that
I remember chasin the green feelin blue
Only check I’m countin is the mic check, one two
All I wanted was the money and the fame and the new
Somebody on my arm when I walk inside the room
All I wanted was doom
The same kind Alexander the Great felt, when the Earth ran out of room
He conquered all he could, but yet he’s feelin’ consumed
By this never ending quest for glory he couldn’t fuel
Like a typical fool, I would go hard
Shootin for the moon
But there only one Son , no Co-star
Chasin glory I shouldn’t own
Instead of livin to make His name known
I’m runnin after his throne
I thought bein on TV, where everybody could see me
Was nothing short of the easiest way I could see to please me
I’ll never be who I used to desperately want to be
I’m too worried but the Lord getting credit instead of me
Bridge
Chorus
I use to wanna do it big
When you’re only focused on yourself that’s small
And they, they use to tell me as a kid
That I could do anything that I want except fall
And now that I recall
I was chasing my goals
And every time I caught them they multiplied into mo’
I never even thought about whether the Lord approved
Call it selfish ambition
I call it, I'm makin moves
But history repeats itself
Evil’s what it is
Cause Lucifer was cast away for doing what I did
Created by the God who spoke the Earth into existence
Instead of chasing the Father’s glory he was chasin his
He lies to us all
Told Adam he could ball
“Why you followin’ God when could go get it all?”
I’ll tell you whats better, or better yet worse
Chasin your own glory by doin the Lord’s work
So holla if it hurts
But we were made for greater
Our greatest satisfaction is making His Name famous
So if we’re never named among the greatest, (or) they don’t critically acclaim us
Ain’t nothing to be ashamed of
We gave it up for the Savior
Chorus
