"Reasons" lyrics

Hulvey, Lecrae & Svrcina Lyrics

"Reasons"
(feat. SVRCINA, Lecrae)

You can't keep going at a rate like this
Running for your life when you're meant to live
Gotta keep on breathing
There's too many reasons
No, you can't keep going at a rate like this
Burying the past not to deal with it
Feeling so defeated, yeah, yeah
There's too many reasons

To keep on-

Lost my grandad in '07, still tryna cope to this day
I was wonderin' if he went to heaven, yeah, there ain't nothing I can change
I spent late nights, I was scared to die, I ain't wanna see the grave
I was playing games with my heartbeat instead of slowing down just to pray
You've been reachin' for the hand you thought you'd never grab
But Jesus brings the hope you thought you'd never have (Have, have)
Tired of livin' in a nightmare, Lord, I just wanna hear You
Runnin' 'round the same circle don't make me feel brand new

You gotta know
It ain't over 'cause you got a hand to hold
Let His peace come rushin' through your soul
Too many reasons for you just to let go
There's hope

You can't keep going at a rate like this
Running for your life when you're meant to live
Gotta keep on breathing
There's too many reasons
No, you can't keep going at a rate like this
Burying the past not to deal with it
Feeling so defeated, yeah, yeah
There's too many reasons

To keep on breathing (Oh-oh)
Just keep on, keep on breathing (Oh-oh, yeah)

We lost PJ, we lost C-Dub and lost Lil J to these streets, bruh
Got family members on lockdown, I still pray to God to release them
Put my hope in the Father
All these problems just pushin' me harder
When I feel like I'm ready to fall, I hit my knees and start cryin' my heart out, yeah
Shootouts on the corner, Daddy got corona, trauma singin' us to sleep, yeah
God ain't raised a quitter, this is not the ending, we will never be defeated
No, you don't have to fight these battles on your own
God is in control

You gotta know
It ain't over 'cause you got a hand to hold
Let His peace come rushin' through your soul
Too many reasons for you just to let go
There's hope

You can't keep going at a rate like this
Running for your life when you're meant to live
Gotta keep on breathing
There's too many reasons
No, you can't keep going at a rate like this
Burying the past not to deal with it
Feeling so defeated, yeah, yeah
There's too many reasons

To keep on breathing (Oh-oh, yeah)
Just keep on, keep on breathing (Oh-oh)
To keep on breathing (Oh-oh)
Just keep on, keep on breathing (Oh-oh)

Hulvey told about "Reasons" in a press release in February 2021, "Even though we have lost so many things: friends, families, jobs, homes, even our minds, peace and hope is still here. God is still completely willing to wrap you up anytime. He has paved a way for us to be free." He shared in the comments to the song's music video, "For anyone that is hurting, The Father welcomes you with open arms. Jesus died for you to be free and to have The Holy Spirit live inside of You."
This song was written by Hulvey with Lecrae, SVRCINA, Sam Tinnesz, and Joe Williams, and it was produced by Zach Paradis.
