Lyrics Entitlements - D-Ross

Say you got big house right... with a beautiful white picket fence
Big, long driveway with a brand new Mercedes Benz
All the sacrifices that you made for success
Has finally paid off, so your finally feeling blessed
But... others don't really know the price that you paid
They don't know what it took for the foundation to be laid
All they want to do is idolize the things that you own
Don't want to sow the seed, they just want to reap what is grown
So they let that ugly green monster rise from within them
That's jealousy not the hulk, yet there's also anger in them
Cuz see, they feel that they should have a piece of the pot
That they deserve to have a bit of everything you got
Now with all that said, take a look in the mirror
You sound just like them, let me make it more clearer
When you start complaining about what you don't have
You only see the glass half empty, that's the wrong half

So you say that you've been robbed, that ain't true
You're feeling like the whole world really owes you
See, we call that Entitlements
It's when you feel like you deserve something
When the fact is, you deserve nothing
So you say that you've been robbed, that ain't true
You're feeling like the whole world really owes you
See, we call that Entitlements
It's when you feel like you deserve something
When the fact is, you deserve nothing

I could feel like I've been doing this for years, I deserve to be famous
From youth events to max security prisons, you name it
I've rapped on TV at the age of 15
In high school with a record label wanting to sign me
See I can't help but feel that I deserve more
To see where Lecrae's at is something I can't ignore
See I deserve to rock the same mic, rock the same stages
Be part of the same tours and travel to different places
Wait... Does this mean that I am not being content?
Jealous of a camper, not being thankful I have a tent?
No longer recognizing just what a privilege it is
To open up my mouth have the truth flow right off of my lips
Ulterior motives are what's hiding in the dark
Lord I don't want to lose the purity within my heart
Help me to walk in a manner, pleasing to the call
You give Grace to the humble, pride comes before the fall

So you say that you've been robbed, that ain't true
You're feeling like the whole world really owes you
See, we call that Entitlements
It's when you feel like you deserve something
When the fact is, you deserve nothing
So you say that you've been robbed, that ain't true
You're feeling like the whole world really owes you
See, we call that Entitlements
It's when you feel like you deserve something
When the fact is, you deserve nothing

See some of us keep asking God for a full-time ministry
Full-time sacrifice, full-time humility
That's not what you've been praying for, well, what did you expect
You just wanted to get the blessings and get rid of your debt
Just wanted a big church so you can boast in the quantity
Ignore the fact their Luke warm, careless about the quality
Thought money could help you purchase all the gifts of God
Your exposing the wickedness that's wrapped around your heart
If you ain't willing to work, then you don't deserve to eat
If you ain't willing to serve, then you don't deserve to lead
Do not be deceived, there is nothing we can do to earn
It's only by His grace, that a wise man can learn
Do not use the outwardly as a way to define success
Let the inner workings of God produce a man's best
So let us not become jealous, let us not become violent
But let us turn away from our selfish entitlements

So you say that you've been robbed, that ain't true
You're feeling like the whole world really owes you
See, we call that Entitlements
It's when you feel like you deserve something
When the fact is, you deserve nothing
So you say that you've been robbed, that ain't true
You're feeling like the whole world really owes you
See, we call that Entitlements
It's when you feel like you deserve something
When the fact is, you deserve nothing
