Conviction Lyrics - Future (US-MI)

1 I was up late, had just ate, I was finna retire

2 It was a Thursday, I was reading your Word right there by the fire

3 And every word it hit a nerve just like you pitched a reply to it

4 And it burned getting my head straight like a dude touched a riser

5 In an instant I was convicted by the script of the writer

6 Yo what is this? I’m conflicted, it straight kicks my desires

7 And God you want me live this, go submit and apply it?

8 I’d never thought I’d deny you, but I can’t take what’s required

9 I’m finna burst from such a wreck, I can’t explain how I’m feeling

10 I’m looking up, my face sweat like it’s pouring rain from the ceiling

11 And Lord, man this is rough, you see the pain in your children

12 I ain’t tryna blame you, I’m just ashamed how I’m feeling

13 Would I play the villain, while this movie keeps reelin’

14 I’m not a victim, I’m choosing to break the rules of the system

15 Why this new resistance? I’m normally the dude that listens

16 Yeah that may be true, but I can’t believe I’m fighting conviction

17 When your body’s saying yes, but God is saying no

18 When your feelings say impressed, but the Sprit says whoa

19 What you’re feeling? That’s conviction

20 What you’re feeling? That’s conviction

21 What you’re feeling? That’s conviction

22 I got a question: are you submittin’?

23 (Repeat)

24 And yo, my life feels different, it’s been a week since I listened

25 To your Word, and my vision’s blurred, and yeah I know that’s the distance

26 Nothing can hold my attention, it’s like my soul has been injured

27 And I can’t sew it with stitches, I gotta take hold of repentance

28 And I refuse to act now, get my shoes on flat ground

29 And I know his truth that I need to move and choose to act now

30 My emotions got me confused and I’m losing track now

31 Even though I’m sick without you like a dude who blacked out

32 This ain’t workin’ out, my heart is hurting loud

33 I know for certain I’m feeling worthless without your smile

34 I’ma need you to show me how

35 Stand up to my conviction, then move to walk it out

36 I’ma need you to show me how

37 Stand up to my conviction, then move to walk it out

38 I’ma need you to show me now

39 Stand up to my conviction, then move to walk it out

40 When your body’s saying yes, but God is saying no

41 When your feelings say impressed, but the Sprit says whoa

42 What you’re feeling? That’s conviction

43 What you’re feeling? That’s conviction

44 What you’re feeling? That’s conviction

45 I got a question: are you submittin’?

46 (Repeat)

47 And now I made my decision, and put it all past me

48 Don’t feel like nothing’s missing, got the joy that’s gon’ last me

49 I’m looking forward to the award that my Lord’s gon’ hand me

50 Then my face gon’ hit the floor as I go head back to him gladly

51 An eternal perspective is what we’re lacking sadly

52 When we treatin’ our conviction like a batting average

53 And our desires require we grab like addicts

54 But the fact of God’s wisdom, that we drop like baggage

55 When your body’s saying yes, but God is saying no

56 When your feelings say impressed, but the Sprit says whoa

57 What you’re feeling? That’s conviction

58 What you’re feeling? That’s conviction

59 What you’re feeling? That’s conviction

60 I got a question: are you submittin’?

61 (Repeat)
