The Good Life Lyrics


We can live it, we can live it, that good life
Yeah, so we can live it
Yeah, that good life, that good life
Now we can live it, yeah, we can live it, yeahWhat he need God for? He got money to the heavens
Never pulled a [Incomprehensible] but he preach it like a reverend
Never satisfied with second, except for second home, second car second woman on his arm, second bottle from the barGood life, even though he got it he don't get it
'Cause he livin' for the moment but this moment has an ending
Matter fact it's been a minute, all he see is pretty women
Big lights, big names in a minute that'll changeBurn, caught up in an all consuming flame
All alone, still rejecting Jesus' name
Even if he could change he would never do it
Grandma told him about living water, he prefer the sewageHe don't know why he do it, desire just enslaved him
Addicted to himself, do whatever just to praise him
Give himself the money, pleasure and treasure that'll rust
When he traded his eternity for twenty years of lustWhen the bottles go pop, models go shop
Everyone knows who you are
But then the lights turn on, curtains fall off
You see it all was falseBut that's the good life, lights, camera, action

Where is the satisfaction?
Good life, black diamonds and gold
Living highest when you live on the lowI take the narrow route, that speedway's a monster
It's all good I go to sleep without a guilty conscience
For that they call me conscious but I am very conscious
Of what I am missing, I ain't trippin' on the girls in the VIPFronting for each other
They are acting like they are something that they not, they undercover
Trying to get under covers but one day they'll discover
They gave parts of themselves away that they'll never recoverA part time lover, took a full time pay
God please show her mercy, her affliction's here to stay
She just found out she's pregnant and the child has been infected
What's worse than that, she'll never meet the guy that she rejectedThe one that can protect her, comfort her to the grace
And resurrect her body to live with Jesus who saves
Can't say that God ain't loving her, she wanted to be a slave
This is a cruel master leaving them full of painWhen the bottles go pop, models go shop
Everyone knows who you are
But then the lights turn on, curtains fall off
You see it all was falseBut that's the good life, lights, camera, action
Where is the satisfaction?
Good life, black diamonds and gold
Living highest when you live on the lowFifty years from now, he may be full of gray hair, beard long
And even closer to a home that he's never known
Right now his home's facing twenty five to life
Siting in the country jail, court appointed lawyer likeIf this case is Tina Turner, homey, I am not Ike
Got his momma crying daily but she is praying every night
Only twenty but there's plenty that he's paying with his rights
Thought he got a life sentence but he really got lifeHe done read that Bible twice
Been in plenty fights, sleepless nights
But when he trusted Christ you could see that change overnight
Knew he'd die in prison but was livin' for another life
Every time his lights out he closer to the other sidePartners on the outside think he found religion
As a coping mechanism when he say the Lord's risen
Now he lay awake in prison praying for his homies in the streets
'Cause truth is he's freer that they gonna ever beWhen the bottles go pop, models go shop
Everyone knows who you are
But then the lights turn on, curtains fall off
You see it all was falseBut that's the good life, lights, cameras, action
Where is the satisfaction?
Good life, black diamonds and gold
Living highest when you live on the lowWe can live it, that good life
Yeah, so we can live it
Yeah, that good life, that good life
Now we can live it, yeah, we can live it
Yeah, we can live it, that good life

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
From the beginning of his music ministry, Lecrae's heart has always been dedicated to broadening the fan's view of who God truly is. Now after extensive touring opportunities across the U.S. from large to small venues, from churches to outdoor stages, with audiences ranging from the inner-city to the suburbs, Lecrae has gained a first-hand insight of the issues and struggles that people are facing. After having a chance to see how so many music fans--particularly the youth--are infatuated with modern-day rappers and multi-media stardom, Lecrae wants them to instead become infatuated with Jesus Christ.

While some may look at him as a star or famous rapper from Atlanta, GA, Lecrae's only goal in After the Music Stops is to urge listeners to glorify God with their lifestyle by pointing them to the person of Jesus Christ. Lecrae has purposed to let them know that God is more concerned about what life looks like after the music stops. "Im all about representing Christ with your whole life whether that's in a crowd or in everyday life," says Lecrae. He desperately wants everyone to understand Gods call is about a complete lifestyle devoted to the Lord, not just about performing at shows.

Introspective songs like "I Did It For You" and crowd-pleasing tracks such as "Run" showcase Lecraes unique ability to mix his distinctive southern style into a versatile sound of authentic Hip Hop. Keeping a tight connection to his listeners while delivering a heart-convicting message with passionate energy, After the Music Stops is sure to be an inspirational tool in the arsenal of those striving to live for the glory of Christ.
