(Verse)
Before I even had the words to let the verse start
Before I could talk or even had my first thought
You could see it in the signs within my birth chart
Or the red spot on my 3rd eye’s birthmark
That I was born to be a messenger of God
And embody the prophecy every second I’m alive
That’s why Static never listened to what they’d tell him
Cause my entire spirit’s existence is a rebellion
I’m alone quiet, study the skies to stay inspired
I’m my own pilot acquiring knowledge to apply it
The present’s infinite, no need to restrict
And plus nature limits our ability to predict
Spirituality is an imperial pearl
So be done with the misery of this material world
I think its time that we take hold of our own destiny
And try to let go of the things that weren’t meant to be
(Chorus)
My only goal and only wish as a man
Is to trust God entirely and stick to the plan
Use my free will to control the things that I can
And my wisdom to let go of all the things that I can’t
To become the best version of myself, but until then
I’ma be a great son, brother, and a real friend
As long as we’re able and God’s willing
We’ll all have a part to play as Star Children
(Verse 2)
I’m just a Capricorn, Leo rising, Virgo moon
Tryna find a way to unify this world of doom
Now some won’t understand who know me as Sam
But these songs accurately represent who I am
Yo it’s my purpose, I wouldn’t call it a wish
Just proving that God exists with how raw that I spit
Cause rap chose me, that’s the reason that I’m an MC
You don’t gotta believe me, believe the one who sent me
I wrote to instruments to cope with my resent
The devil’s a bad influence posing as a friend
Who tries to fly from the lows to the highs
A rollercoaster ride in between sobering cries
And I was blessed by a God that could unblind me
So my regrets don’t define me, they just remind me
Give thanks through your faith and appraisal
Mistakes aren’t made cause mistakes are what make you
(Chorus)
My only goal and only wish as a man
Is to trust God entirely and stick to the plan
Use my free will to control the things that I can
And my wisdom to let go of all the things that I can’t
To become the best version of myself, but until then
I’ma be a great son, brother, and a real friend
As long as we’re able and God’s willing
We’ll all have a part to play as Star Children
(Verse 3)
The way I see it most of us are overthinking it
Tryna analyze life instead of living it
At one point we were all born innocent
So turn back from your ways and never sin again
Cause to be brutally honest between you and I
I found God while I was dreaming of suicide
I’m too blessed that I forget to remember
All I’ll ever have to do is just accept and surrender
So be persistent and be patient with time
Your soul, body, and your mind are God’s greatest design
Cause man I’ve faced this blank page so many times
And amazed that I always came away with a rhyme
All I really know is God knows best
With a happy home to rest, how was I so blessed?
So if I don’t succeed it wasn’t destined to be
And I know that God has something even better for me
(Chorus)
My only goal and only wish as a man
Is to trust God entirely and stick to the plan
Use my free will to control the things that I can
And my wisdom to let go of all the things that I can’t
To become the best version of myself, but until then
I’ma be a great son, brother, and a real friend
As long as we’re able and God’s willing
We’ll all have a part to play as Star Children
