Chase That Intro - Lecrae

Started with hanging posters on my bedroom walls

To battle rapping for status up in the school halls.

Just call me double sushi, thought I was too raw

And hip hop was my home, I had my shoes off

6'3″ in high school, skip a hoop dream

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 berserk

Lunch break, see my writing 16's over Micky D’s

Skipping class, making beats over 60 keys

And I love that, that even though I’m just chasin'

Selfish ambition couldn’t tell your boy nothin'

Watch out all you rappers' cause they 'finna le' ‘Crae in

But I was sleeping on the Son like the Days Inn

Ay you can have the money

And you can have the fame

But me I want the Glory

I’m living for the Name

See life is just a picture

I see outside the frame

I’m living for a kingdom that I ain’t never seen

And I’mma chase that

Glory I’mma I’mma chase that

Found the key to life and best believe that I’mma play that

Glory I’mma chase that, I’mma I’mma chase that

Glory I’mma chase that, I’mma I’mma chase that

I remember chasing the green feeling blue

Only check I’m counting 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 being 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 'bout the Lord getting credit instead of me

Ay you can have the money

And you can have the fame

But me I want the Glory

I’m living for the Name

See life is just a picture

I see outside the frame

I’m living for a Kingdom that I ain’t never seen

And I’mma chase that

Glory I’mma I’mma chase that

Found the key to life and best believe that I’mma play that

Glory I’mma chase that, I’mma I’mma chase that

Glory I’mma chase that, I’mma I’mma chase that

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 em they multiplied into mo'

I never even thought about whether the Lord approved

Call it selfish ambition

I call it, I’m making 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 chasing his

He lies to us all

Told Adam he could ball

«Why you following God when you could go get it all?»

I’ll tell you what’s better, or better yet worse

Chasing your own glory by doing 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

They don’t critically acclaim us

Ain’t nothing to be ashamed of

We gave it up for the Savior

I’mma chase that, I’mma I’mma chase that

And the Lord’s goodness

You should-you should taste that

And you ain’t living until you’re living for his name

Yeah, Glory I’mma chase that, I’mma I’mma chase that
