"Round Of Applause" lyrics

Round of applause, round of applause
I got flaws, can't cut em off, uh
I been trying everyday though
But I don't seem to fit this halo
Look, a lot of people think I rap, I'm really just telling facts
I done been to hell and back
Some can't relate to that
So, please don't mention me unless you're mentioning me to God
And please don't type my name unless I can deposit it in a bank
Told them I'ma make it, they ain't wanna believe me
Get a little bread, they try and press you like panini
But I hold a lot of people up, I can't fall off
Plus my kids believe in me way more than Santa Claus, my God
Holdin' me down, God been, holdin' me down
How you alive? God still holdin' me down
Mm hmm, this my faith. Give him my praise
Everytime I pray. A lot of things change
I know it's getting rough right now
But you can't give up right now, uh huh
Woulda listened to ya'll right now
Then I wouldn't be up right now, uh huh
Back when I was rapping about my Christian confessions
Nehemiah said I shouldn't be headed in this direction
Tera stole my bread. I almost went and copped a weapon.
Moms calmed me down, said "You finna block all your blessings"
Had a bottle upside down. Guess this depression.
A lot of people counting me out, guess this a lesson
Removed a lot of snakes from my life, that killed the division
Focused on love and the light, that brought addition
Sometimes the only way to move forward is by subtraction
So I multiplied the faith in my movement, now we got traction

And I know it's a lot of y'all out there that's in a dark place
You down in the hole so far, you feel like you'll never see the light
But I'm here to tell you on the other side is glory
On the other side is purpose, on the other side is love
You just can't give up. I don't care whatever happened, you can't give up.
You feel me? And anytime you feel like giving up
I want you to put this album on and say, big OG told me I can make it
You know what I'm saying?
Shout out to everybody that was praying for me
Shout out to everybody that was hating on me. Y'all was motivation
You feel me? Most importantly, shout out to God
I wouldn't be here without you. Shalom.
