"From The Outside" lyrics
I seem like the awesomest father to most (Most)
You'd probably figure that from my Instagram posts (Huh)
'Cause I could post snippets (Snippets), and make it look dope (Dope)
But would it all change if you take a look close?
I see a little boy hit the door, waiting all day for me
Knocking every twenty minutes, saying, "Daddy, play with me"
But daddy's gotta work (Work), 'cause daddy has a label
And that food that momma's making, daddy keeps it on the table
The tradeoff is I'ma miss a lot of first things (Things)
I made it to your practice (Practice), and missed your first game (I did)
I missed your first steps (I did), I helped a lot of people though
But I don't know that you gon' understand that at three or four (At three or four)
And even when I'm home, I don't be at home
Playing catch wit' him while I'm home, then my freakin' phone (Pssh)
Tryna be a father and a CEO (I'm tryin')
And how it's going? Honestly, I don't even know
They're looking at me, tryna figure out how I
Got it all together
But, sometimes
It just looks good from the outside
Lookin' through my window'll never really tell you what that house like
If you ain't ever been in
'Cause, sometimes
It just looks good from the outside
I seem like the awesomest husband to most (Most)
You'd probably figure that from my Facebook posts (Huh)
'Cause I could post snippets and make it look dope (Dope)
But would it all change if you take a look close
And see all my insecurities play out in my life? (Life)
And I know that it be weighing on my wife (I know)
The more I gain weight, the more I feel like others cater to her eye ([?])
And I'm fearing that, one day, she gon' oblige (Real— shhh)
It's like it's too good to be true (True), so I taint it in my mind (Mind)
This stressing got me staying up at night (Can't sleep)
In front of this laptop full of women dealing with this lust
The minute I finish, I'm dealing with feelings of disgust (Uh)
I'm praying God deliver me at once
If not for me, then for her, 'cause I know dealing with me's tough (I know)
And last thing I want is my insecurity and lust (Pssh)
To make this good woman not feel like she enough
They're looking at me, tryna figure out how I
Got it all together
But, sometimes
It just looks good from the outside
Lookin' through my window'll never really tell you what that house like
If you ain't ever been in
'Cause, sometimes
It just looks good from the outside
I seem like the awesomest minister to most (Most)
You'd probably figure that from my Twitter feed posts (Posts)
'Cause I could post scriptures (Scriptures), and make it look dope (Uh-huh)
But would you feel the same if you take a look close
And see me fall, hit the floor and get up, just to fall again?
All this sin got me asking God if I should call it quits
Thought it was defeated, but it's creeping in my heart again
How am I to teach 'em all if I can't even conquer this?
Everybody compliments the annointment I'm walking in
Wonder if they'd harken if they caught me in my darkest sin
Fans turn they back on me every other week
So I learned to call 'em fans now instead of family
They'll unfollow and unfriend you the moment they disagree
It's like everybody think they can do this better than me
All these CHH critics make me wanna leave Christian Rap
But if I quit it, they would say the devil did it, picture that
They're looking at me, tryna figure out how I
Got it all together
But, sometimes
It just looks good from the outside
Lookin' through my window'll never really tell you what that house like
If you ain't ever been in
'Cause, sometimes
It just looks good from the outside
You'd probably figure that from my Instagram posts (Huh)
'Cause I could post snippets (Snippets), and make it look dope (Dope)
But would it all change if you take a look close?
