letra de the esquire - benjamin the esquire

verse 1
i go by benjamin but you could refer to me as the esquire
took a break from rapping, disappeared like the cheshire
had to understand “thy will be done, not mine”, yes sire
praying in the test fire that my ways for the messiah
will be withstanding the heat of his gaze, a man that’s in need of his grace
his banner’s what we will display, i plan on completing this race
if damaged by slanderous banter, famished or feeding my faith
the lord is my standard and anthem, plantеd with feet in one place
born with this yearning for informally forming sеrmons
and warning insurgents, turn from your normal order and urges
encourage the church to worship, get nourished while reading the scripts
be bereans that want to please him with reason, bringing our gifts
it’s for freedom we were freed, not believing deceiving myths
no! my creed is in receiving jesus’ teaching and bliss
yo, you’ll only go as high as you aspire to be
that maybe comfort for you but it’s esquire to me

hook:
so we grow, show, prove, move past all these trends and these fads
please do not mention your swag, it got me offended like dag
esquire, sets higher goals than slums of the art
i’m praying for someone this sparks a flame that will burn in their hearts

verse 2
hip hop is middle aged, i guess it’s going through a crisis
back then i’m forming some cyphers performing for the excitement
sorta despising the corporatizing before the enticement
of fortunes, shorties and diamonds, we read the source for the mics and
imploring a score of young guys to be ignoring the limelight
and order our lives by these more important morals and guidelines
in the midst of that pursuit the truth exposes my vanity
though i chose the flows and samples over clothes and the damsels, b?
that don’t mean i know jehovah just a shows of poets and anarchy
and this slowly lowered hopes of being the dopest but thankfully
i’ve been showed the romans road, i know it sobered and anchored me
now i roll with only those who throw out roses and handkerchiefs
the love and peace are smothering the thumping from the drummer’s beat
i live abundantly giving flavor to how i’m functioning
you’ll only go as high as you aspire to be
that may be rapper to you, but it’s esquire to me
hook

verse 3
i’m just a humble servant, husband, father and an average cat
master my rapping craft till my master’s grabbing it back
so no talking of trapping and gats or popping a cat that is whack
no chopping for the guap, my hip hop is not after that (nope)
i am not that southern crunk cat that is trying to get you hyped up
nah, i spit that iron lung rap that’s been blessed by the christ’s love
radio and relevance are tails that follow the head
the sales always pale if we fail and borrow from trends
what do we gain by getting props from the secular?
if they recognize the sk!ll but not the god of the messenger
don’t stop properly repping the cross in all of your sessions
whether you’re charting or getting a start keep all of these lessons at heart
the spirit doesn’t need your fan base steadily growing
you don’t know where he will be blowing, just be ready n’ sewing
you’ll only go as high as you aspire to be
that may be topping charts for you, but it’s esquire to me

hook
