MASTER PIECE LYRICS BY TORI KELLY FT. LECRAE

[Intro: Choir & Tori Kelly]
Ooh
It's so crazy to me
Ooh
How mistakes can be
Ooh
A blessing in disguise
Ooh
Lord, I'm so glad You're making me
A masterpiece
Masterpiece (oh Lord)

[Verse 1: Tori Kelly & Kirk Franklin]
Hit me!
When you look at me
Do you see a work of art in the making?
Sketch of what I'll be
I wonder what you see in me
Like what do you think?
When my life is not a melody in the morning
And I feel off key, yeah
Do you still believe in me?
Like a symphony, hey
You know how to make all things work together
Crazy how mistakes can be miracles in disguise

[Chorus: Tori Kelly]
That's why tonight I pray
Don't take your love away
Forever in your embrace
Without You I'm like a storm with no end
Tossed by the wind and sea
And when I'm incomplete
Just one request from me
God take my heart forever, it's Yours
Make me Your masterpiece

[Verse 2: Tori Kelly]
When you look at me
Do I make you smile at what your creating?
Working patiently with me
'Preciate that I am with Your time
'Cause I want to be, aye
Be the stone that You turn in to Your treasure
Crazy how mistakes can be miracles in disguise

[Chorus: Tori Kelly & Choir]
That's why tonight I pray
Don't take your love away
Forever in your embrace
Without You I'm like a storm with no end
Tossed by the wind and sea
And when I'm incomplete
Just one request from me
God take my heart forever, it's Yours
Make me Your masterpiece

[Post-Chorus]
Is what I want to be

[Chorus: Tori Kelly & Choir]
So I pray, don't take Your love away
That's why tonight I pray
Don't take your love away
Forever in your embrace
Without You I'm like a storm with no end
Tossed by the wind and sea
And when I'm incomplete
Just one request from me
God take my heart forever, it's Yours
Make me Your masterpiece


[Verse 3: Lecrae]
Uh, now you know that Your a masterpiece
You probably feel like a catastrophe
You in the mirror everyday saying "uh" like Master P
Ain't really how it have to be
Now hold up (listen)
You acting totally different
You gotta a whole new position
You are the running Bobby Ricky whole new addition
You think I'm kidding but hold up a minute
Don't compare yourself with none of them
You wanna wanna ain't no synonym
A Master Artist take a mess and make a masterpiece
And look at you, you been a gem (facts)
Shinin'

[Outro]
God take my heart forever, it's Yours
Make me Your masterpiece
Oh oh
Make me Your
Your masterpiece

FACTS LYRICS BY LECRAE

[Intro – Ekemini Uwan]
Peace does not come before salvation and salvation does not come without truth

[Hook/Chorus]
I will only tell the truth
I will only tell the truth
Incoming!
Truth, truth, truth, truth
Truth, truth, truth, truth, truth


[Verse 1]
People wondering, "Is he woke or just a new slave?"
Old religion, he just covered it with new chains
Chopping out the church, he aint really fake
He divisive, he don’t rep the King, he just want the fame
Aw man, now they acting like I’m suddenly political
Told me shut my mouth and get my checks from Evangelicals
Where my momma raised me, on Angela and Eldridge
Chuck Berry made it, but the credit went to Elvis
Know you never knew that, know you think I’m too black
I just think I’m too real, I grew up on 2Pac
You grew up thinking that the Panthers was some terrorists
I grew up hearing how they fed my momma eggs and grits
"'Crae, they say you should follow in the steps of King"
I say, "You’ve forgotten how they shot him in the streets"
I aint really changed, it’s the same old rebel
Still a radical, I’m passionate, it’s just another level "leggo!"
AT told me I should fight back

They don’t like that "they don’t"
Just know if you rock the boat you better have a life raft "what?"
BJ told me I should fight back
They don’t like that
Just know if you rock the boat you better have a life raft, woo!


[Hook/Chorus – Ekemini Uwan]
I will only tell the truth "facts"
People cannot abide by a truth. They prefer fantasy over reality… "facts"
I will only tell the truth
I am for truth no matter who tells it
I will only tell the truth
I am for justice no matter who it is for or against "facts"

[Verse 2]
Rose up out the dungeon
I was feeling haunted
Now I’m being hunted
And I’m on a hunnid
Hit the gas, gunning
Skip the past running
Tell ’em they could bring that
If they really want it
I, I’m on the hometeam

You just running with the wrong team
Never take ’em with the heavyweights or, boy, you’ll die and need a little protein
Southside on the Yellowstone, had a ham bone and a white tee
And a 12-pack of that real talk and I’m drunk, tell ’em, "Come find me"
Draped up, dripped out, covered in the blood
Man, I hang where they cripped out, sipping on the mud
Where they swinging, got the whips out, watch ’em pop trunk
Yeah, I know it’s hella dark, but I’m tryna light it up
Now these people swear they on me, sending out threats
Told me keep my mouth shut, told me be a Stepin Fetchit
I will not oblige to your colonized way of faith
My Messiah died for the world, not just USA
They say, "Jesus was Conservative"
Tell ’em, "That’s a lie"
No, He not a Liberal either if you think I’ll choose a side
They say, "'Crae, you so divisive, shouldn’t be a black church"
I say, "Do the math, segregation started that first!"

Hey, you want unity? Then read a eulogy
Kill the power that exists up under you and over me
I said, you want unity? Then read a eulogy
Kill the power that exists up under you and over me, woo! "facts"

[Spoken]
So reconciliation or conciliation requires defrauded parties to be made whole.
Not just apologizing for the offense

[Verse 3]
I was waiting for the right time to tell y’all how I feel
And, yeah, I know that it hurts, but look, it's gon’ heal
I waited ’til I was on prime time before I let y'all know
And you prolly won’t wanna hear my music no mo’
But it’s all good, man, I love y'all
Hope you know that I'm black black
Traded my Smart Car for a Cadillac, can you handle that?
And I love God
I love Jesus, the one out of Nazareth
Not the European with the ultra perm and them soft eyes and them thin lips
And I’m still hood
Been in the burbs for quite some time
But I still might hit the gas station for the Lemonheads and the pork rinds
And I’m on one
Yeah, 116 been real
Binghamton, Tennessee, from Third Ward to Ceiling Hill
And I live a multiple world, call me a hybrid ’cause I’m so black
Young theologian who educated, but still be at that Chicken Shack, yeah


[Outro]
Lemme get a two piece

8:28 LYRICS BY LECRAE FT.LEWIS SKY

 Lewis & Sky:
It's gon' all work out sooner than later
You don't have to worry 'bout tomorrow
It's gon' work out in your favor
Just keep your head to the sky
Keep your eyes on the prize
Just keep your head to the sky
Keep your eyes on the prize

Lecrae:
Man, I'm insecure and I'm so unsure
My motives don't be the purest seed of my little sister
Prolly need me, I ain't been around, and I ain't tried to lead her, ugh!
Help me, Lord, I ain't ever have no daddy
Feel like a failin' father tryna raise my family
I've seen cancer take my lady's pops and he fought so hard
And we cried so hard, but sometimes life's so dark
But he told me, "Boy, you keep yo' head up, never let up, and never give up, and don't cry for me 'cause I'ma live up in the sky"
Let it all work out, that pain gon' make you stronger
That hurt gon' make you a leader, don't make that make you a monster
In the middle of the darkest heart is heartless tarnished carnage
The Master Artist makes your mess a masterpiece regardless

Lewis & Sky:
It's gon' all work out sooner than later
You don't have to worry 'bout tomorrow
It's gon' work out in your favor
Just keep your head to the sky
Keep your eyes on the prize
Just keep your head to the sky
Keep your eyes on the prize

Lecrae:
Yeah, I've seen pretty girls feel so ugly that they hate livin'
I've seen rich men have everything but have no friends
I've seen baby mommas put restrainin' orders on good fathers
I've seen single mothers work three jobs but they still in college
Eight year, gettin' two degrees, slaved away for a bachelor's
Then eight more payin' huge fees, still a slave to her master's
Feelin' a way, makin' a minmum wage
But at the end of the day
Feelin' so grateful
Bills still paid, so no room to complain
We all got deep wounds, ugly scars, black marks
Just left rehab, still got track marks
Let it all work out and let the light shine through
'Cause you can't be them and they can't be you

Lewis & Sky:
It's gon' all work out sooner than later
You don't have to worry 'bout tomorrow
It's gon' work out in your favor
Just keep your head to the sky
Keep your eyes on the prize
Just keep your head to the sky
Keep your eyes on the prize, yeah, oh

Oh
Oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, hey

CRY FOR YOU LYRICS BY LECRAE FT.TAYLOR HILL

Taylor Hill:
This thorn in my flesh
Is the only thing I got left
And it's so hard to confess
When everybody thinks you're perfect

But I cry for you
If you feel it too
And I'll cry for you
If you show how to lose
The elephants in the room

Lecrae:
Take it away, I beg you, take it all away
The pain it causes, it makes me wish I could fade away
If they knew what you knew, they'd probably shun me
I'm surprised you know it all and you love me
I know I break your heart
Body of death, give me rest if my heart stops
Then it don't hurt no more, can't get worse no more
Can't pursue all these desires, it ain't cursed no more
No more lies about my worth no more
I understand the thoughts of suicide that do reside
But when I stop and think about my family, I feel new inside
I promised I would die a thousand deaths 'fore I cause them any pain
But somehow I end up killing everything
I cry for you
If you feel a dark, twisted, heart-wrenching, hate-to-see-your-own-reflection
Praying for an intervention, feeling guilt and feeling shame
I just call on Jesus name
Praying daily, can you take away this pain?
Take the thorn away
Still, it remains, I
Feel the same, I
Know that I'm here, but
Still feel insane
Satan would love to see my give up and throw up my hands
He say I'm guilty but You say I'm clean

Taylor Hill:
This thorn in my flesh
Is the only thing I got left
And it's so hard to confess
When everybody thinks you're perfect

But I cry for you
If you feel it too
And I'll cry for you
If you show how to lose
The elephants in the room

Lecrae:
Yeah, Sunday morning, or Sunday mourning
I woke up dead inside from all the hurt I saw before me
Evil tryna take away my testimony
Starin' at my phone, feelin' like a phony
Oh, I cry for you, I would die for you
To escape the pain I feel from all that I've been through
I feel it in my soul and in my chest
Take away this ugly thorn inside my flesh
Give me death
But grace is sufficient to start my mission
I'm so far from perfect, can't believe they listen
But hear a broken man 'til your healin' happens
And hear a liar tell you truth to bring you gladness
I could never boast in my accomplishments
I can only hope in God with confidence
Opposite of optimist, U and I are consonants
Broken all the vowels, deservin' of every consequence
Will you cry for me, or will you judge me?
Will you throw stones at my head, or will you love me?
I could never be everything that you wanna see
But crooked sticks draw straight lines, just look at me
(But crooked sticks draw straight lines, just look at me)

Taylor Hill:
This thorn in my flesh
Is the only thing I got left
And it's so hard to confess
When everybody thinks you're perfect

But I cry for you
If you feel it too
And I'll cry for you
If you show how to lose
The elephants in the room
