a dead man's tale - datin lyrics

[intro]
god over money
yeah
let’s go
uh oh

[verse 1: datin]
these are the chronicles of a dishonest fool
the tale of a h*ll*bound teenager with a mind consumed
by l*st and greed he crushed to see these rappers on a tomb
they had the things he wanted so he started rhymin’ too
i promise you he made an impact like comets do
all the underground heard was a sonic boom
on the battle scene he demolished dudes to a molecule
he started buzzing, he pursued rap and dropped out of school
he hit the lab and started recording demonic tunes
bragging about all the narcotics moved that kept his wallet full
and now he’s a g that drew more weapons than them comic dudes
labels calling now he’s gotta choose who’s he signing to
mixtape money kept his diamonds blue
he bought all kinds of jewels
and then people were starting to acknowledge who he was
and when he hit the club them groupies were on pursuit
he had more tail follow him around than sonic 2
you would think he would be happy he was fulfilling dreams
but he couldn’t help but feel deceived there was still a need for something more
these pleasures he pursued weren’t real, they flee
he tried it all but nothing works so this dude kneeled on knees
and turned to god
someone told him if he will believe
he will indeed fulfill the need of his heart and he will complete
his soul, so this villain did and now this villain’s free
he’s completed in christ
i know because this villain’s me
[chorus: eamon]
ever seen a man rotting dead while he’s still breathes?
i just seen a man pray to the father like sheesh
jesus, god the son took it all away, he said it’s done
ever seen a man rotting dead while he’s still breathes?

[verse 2: mc jin]
ayo datin
let me tell my tale
at 17 i only dream was getting unsigned
illmatic was the blueprint
who didn’t want 5 mics
way before god’s son
it was written on my life
the source of light shines different when you’re glistening from christ
back then it was all about me whenever i would rock
destined for the top, forever the sinner of the plot
bumping eclipse and dmx a lost soul, i never stop
lord willing i’ll find my way cause it’s dark and h*ll is hot
double r changed my life when they put that chain on my neck
when we parted ways, ain’t know what kinda pain to expect
that’s when i realized the real prize was confiding in him
cause jesus already chose to ride or die for my sins
industry rule four*thousand eighty*two
the record industry can turn good people shady too
until i’m in my grave i’m grateful
y’all don’t know the half of it
fame’s a drug and every day i pray i don’t relapse from it
my flesh is weak, i’m dependent on his grace
pursuing holiness but it’s a never*ending chase
if i never battle again won’t see my legacy erased
went from smack dvd to smacking the devil in his face
the world’s brutal, make moves or get moved to the side
i’m dying daily, doing what i gotta do to survive
what’s a truth or a lie?
it’s not up to you to decide
if you ain’t living for the gospel
were you truly alive?
[chorus: eamon]
ever seen a man rotting dead while he’s still breathes?
i just seen a man pray to the father like sheesh
jesus, god the son took it all away, he said it’s done
ever seen a man rotting dead while he’s still breathes?
