Tedashii – Reverse lyrics

Livin' it [x16]

[Hook:]
Why is the monster taller than ever, while the weak fade away?
When justice storms, and darkness flees, I'm reminded on that day
The last shall be first, the first shall be last (x3)
The last shall be... (Livin' it, livin' it in reverse)
And everything's in reverse

Livin' with the end in mind, something like the president
I was livin' for the moment, tryin' to own it, residence
Believe in Him, that's the last thing I done ever chose
Gimme that rag top, trey on them chosen vogue
(I rode) That '67 Chevy my cousin drove on them golden spokes?
Life is short, and man I hope I make it down the road
But where I'm from, hope was that girl who flirted, flaunted
You never got it, but she was the one you always wanted
How good a picture perfect image front and tell you lies
My version of perversion did it every day a lie
And man that burden got me hurtin' lookin' for some answers
Endless searchin' just leave you burnin': Jo Jo Dancer
But mine ended when I saw the Lord would choose to hang
That type of love got me coming back, call it boomerang
Yet you can end the searches living waters quench my thirst
Since the day I died now I'm livin' in reverse

Why is the monster taller than ever, while the weak fade away?
When justice storms, and darkness flees, I'm reminded on that day
The last shall be first, the first shall be last (x3)
The last shall be... (Livin' it, livin' it in reverse)
And everything's in reverse

Man all I ever wanted, was to be labeled the greatest
Cassius Clay on spittin' rhymes while rockin' the lastest
But that crept into my life in Christ, it was evident
As I debate how I was better than the rest of them
Work-based righteousness; base my worth on some type of list and
If I keep it or not perfected every night since this
Now, I'm looking for approval, and I'm selfish!
So all I want to do is try to out do you.
Silent when you ask me. Later I'm where you like. Approved.
Far from His image and couldn't see it. Where is the Zoom?
This is grace in my moment of reproof. That helps me see the truth.
Just how I sound; no auto-tune.
And in this life the last will be first and the first is last.
And He's a servant to the end. We certain of that.
That's what I heard; freedom from the curse.
Livin' to it hurts, but the latter doesn't matter when you in reverse.

Why is the monster taller than ever, while the weak fade away?
When justice storms, and darkness flees, I'm reminded on that day
The last shall be first, the first shall be last (x3)
The last shall be... (Livin' it, livin' it in reverse)
And everything's in reverse

Man, I'm longin' for that day when the trumpet sounds.
I imagine in an instant I'd be off the ground.
Face to face with my Maker, with the glorious Savior.
Embraced by Forever, no pain, free from labor.
And from my sinful nature, And we see Hope revealed.
Free from every tribulation, see He broke the seal.
Every saint around the throne in worship
Of the Perfect cause He purged us and He purchased us cause Hell is real.
Receiven what we all deserve
That where we see the first shall be last and the last will be first.
Either way, He's such a generous God.
It doesn't matter if you've been here forever or just started to jive.
He rewards us for our work, so life's not in vain.
And every saint, hold on He's comin' again!
Revelation's only scary if you're not in Christ.
So I don't shine, I reveal. Call it Blacklight.
