Song Lyrics

"Purpose Over Pleasure"

by Jonathan Traylor
Album: Stones

I be tryna make it into heaven though
But you be tryna knock me off my course though
Voices in my head screaming YOLO
Yeah
But you only die once too
My flesh be like
I'm gonna do what I wanna do
But once this life is over,
There ain't no re-dos
Either go up or to your eternal tomb
You either go up or to your eternal doom
It's never that easy to choose purpose
But I will die to my flesh and live a life of worship
I'm really, really, really tryna make it into heaven
I'm tryna hear him say two words
Like, well done

Purpose over please
I ain't got no time for your shenanigans
I'm tryna make it into heaven
I ain't got no time to be playing with sin
You can miss me with all that, boy
Miss me with all that
Miss me with all that
Miss me with all that
Miss me with all that, boy
Miss me with all that
Miss me with all that

Tryna hold me down
Don't wanna see me grow
Tryna hold me back
Don't wanna see me go forward
Forward into my destiny
You really don't want me
To be who God created me to be
But i'ma keep on growin' yeah
I'ma keep on going yeah
I'ma keep my focus up, up, up, up
‘Cause ya boy is Heaven-bound
After that there ain't no coming down
I'm tryna get my crowns
All of my crowns
I'm tryna get my crowns

Purpose over please
I ain't got no time for your shenanigans
I'm tryna make it into Heaven
I ain't got no time to be playing with sin
You can miss me with all that, boy
Miss me with all that
Miss me with all that
Miss me with all that
Miss me with all that, boy
Miss me with all that
Miss me with all that

Every day you try to test me
But I'm killing my flesh
It gets kinda messy
Every day you try to test me
But I'm killing my flesh
It gets kinda messy
Every day you try to test me
But I'm killing my flesh
It gets kinda messy
Every day you try to test me
But I'm killing my flesh
It gets kinda messy
Every day you try to test me
But I'm killing my flesh
It gets kinda messy
Every day you try to test me
But I'm killing my flesh, flesh has no hold on me
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
My flesh has no hold on me
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
