Billions Gotta Chase Me

[Verse 1]
Eyes on the commas
Lost in the count
Refreshing the numbers
Till my soul tapped out
Chasing a ghost
Through a glass little screen
Bank app open
But I’m broke in my dreams

Scrolling through the highlights
Thinking that I’m late
Praying for a shortcut
Begging for a break
Heart in the barter
Sold it for a deal
Gave up the purpose
For something I can’t feel

[Pre-Chorus]
Every night I lay awake
Counting what I never made
All that time I threw away
Staring at an empty chase

[Chorus]
I was blinded by the billions
Till I saw what’s in my hands
I don’t chase that number now
I just build the thing I can
If I do the work I’m called to
Day by day
Piece by piece
Let the vision be the focus
Let the billions chase me

[Verse 2]
Blueprint on the table
Dust on the shelf
Voice in my chest
Said
“Come back to yourself”
Hammer in my right hand
Faith in the left
Laid down the envy
Picked up what’s next

I turned off the noise
Heard a quiet plan
“Plant what I gave you
Right where you stand”
Brick after brick
Year after year
Purpose got louder
Fear disappeared

[Pre-Chorus]
Every time I hold the line
Show up for the tiny signs
All that pressure in my mind
Fades into the work I find

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
I don’t need it overnight
I don’t need the world to clap
I just need to build it right
Trust the One who drew the map

[crescendo]
If it’s meant
It’s gonna rise
On the strongest
Truest frame
What I’m called to
That’s my prize
Let the money learn my name (my name, my name)

[Chorus]
