Humble at the Board

Intro

Yeah, yeah

Word, word

Uh

Verse 1

Born in the projects where the sirens hum

Mama said keep your head low when the night gets numb

I was ten with a stutter and a borrowed chain

Praying on my knees hoping God would change my name

Fiends on the corner selling winter to the lost

I kept my eyes on the book when the frost would cross

They said boy you gotta hustle just to make it through

But the hustle ate my uncle till he turned a ghost too

Pre-Chorus

So I bowed my head down

Let the fear of the Lord turn the pain around now

Chorus

By humility and the fear of the Lord

Riches and honor and a life that's restored

By humility and the fear of the Lord

I traded the street for a seat at the board

Verse 2

My homies cop the latest but the latest cop them back

I wear the same two pairs till the soles got cracks

Pride got a price tag nobody wanna pay

Humble got a heartbeat that'll last for days

The most high don't measure by the crib you keep

He measure by the mercy when your brothers sleep

I ain't chasing shine I'm chasing peace of mind

The name on the lease don't define your kind

Pre-Chorus

So I bow my head down

Let the fear of the Lord turn the pain around now

Chorus

By humility and the fear of the Lord

Riches and honor and a life that's restored

By humility and the fear of the Lord

I traded the street for a seat at the board

Bridge

No diamonds on my wrist can glow like that

No chain can lace the soul like that

I stay low I stay true I stay prayed

That's the only way I'm getting paid (getting paid)

Chorus

By humility and the fear of the Lord

Riches and honor and a life that's restored

By humility and the fear of the Lord

I traded the street for a seat at the board

Yeah, I traded the street

Humble with the heat

Fear of the Lord

Riches and honor and life
