  • Father, I stretch
    Stretch my hands to You

    Lifelike, this is what your life like, try to live your life right
    People really know you, push your buttons like type write
    This is like a movie, but it's really very lifelike
    Every single night right, every single fight, right?
    I was looking at the 'Gram and I don't even like likes
    I was screamin' at my Dad, he told me, "It ain't Christ-like"

    I was screamin' at the referee just like Mike
    Lookin' for a bright light, Sigel, what your life like
    Riding on a white bike, feeling like excite bike (stretch my hands to You)
    Pressin' on the gas, supernova for a night light
    Screamin' at my dad and he told me, "It ain't Christ-like"

    But nobody never tell you when you're being like Christ
    Only ever seein' me only when they needin' me
    Like if Tyler Perry made a movie for BET
    Searchin' for a deity, now you wanna see it free
    Now you wanna see if we, let's just see if three a piece
    Tell me what your life like, turn it down, a bright light
    Drivin' with my dad, and he told me, "It ain't Christ-like" (stretch my hands to You)

    I'm just tryna find, I've been lookin' for a new way
    I'm just really tryna not to really do the fool way
    I don't have a cool way, bein' on my best, though
    Block 'em on the text though, nothin' else next though
    Not another word, letter, picture, or a decimal (Father, I stretch)
    Wrestlin' with God, I don't really want to wrestle
    Man, it's really lifelike, everything in my life (stretch my hands to You)
    Arguing with my dad, and he said, "It ain't Christ-like"

    Man
    You know, it's like
    Somebody only close who can get you, like, off your
    I be on my
    I woke up this morning, I said my prayers
    I'm all good, then I tried to talk to my dad (stretch my hands to You)
    Give him some advice, he starts spazzin' on me
    I start spazzin' back, he said "That ain't Christ-like"
    I said, "Aah" Writer/s: Aaron Butts, Bryant Bell, Calvin Eubanks, Curtis Eubanks, Jahmal Desmond Gwin, Jahmal Gwin, Kanye Omari West
