Future - Conviction Lyrics

[verse 1]
I was up late, had just ate, I was finna retire
It was a thursday
I was reading your word right there by the fire
And every word it hit a nerve
Just like you pitched a reply to it
And it burned getting my head
Straight like a dude touched a riser
In an instant I was convicted by the script of the writer
Yo what is this? I'm conflicted, it straight kicks my desires
And god you want me live this, go submit and apply it?
I'd never thought I'd deny you
But I can't take what's required
I'm finna burst from such a wreck
I can't explain how I'm feeling
I'm looking up, my face sweat
Like it's pouring rain from the ceiling
And lord, man this is rough
You see the pain in your children
I ain't tryna blame you, I'm just ashamed how I'm feeling
Would I play the villain, while this movie keeps reelin'
I'm not a victim
I'm choosing to break the rules of the system
Why this new resistance?
I'm normally the dude that listens
Yeah that may be true
But I can't believe I'm fighting conviction

[hook]
When your body's saying yes, but god is saying no
When your feelings say impressed
But the sprit says whoa
What you're feeling? that's conviction
What you're feeling? that's conviction
What you're feeling? that's conviction
I got a question: are you submittin'?
(repeat)

[verse 2]
And yo, my life feels different
It's been a week since I listened
To your word, and my vision's blurred
And yeah I know that's the distance
Nothing can hold my attention
It's like my soul has been injured
And I can't sew it with stitches
I gotta take hold of repentance
And I refuse to act now, get my shoes on flat ground
And I know his truth that I need to move
And choose to act now
My emotions got me confused and I'm losing track now
Even though I'm sick without you
Like a dude who blacked out
This ain't workin' out, my heart is hurting loud
I know for certain I'm feeling worthless without your smile
I'ma need you to show me how
Stand up to my conviction, then move to walk it out
I'ma need you to show me how
Stand up to my conviction, then move to walk it out
I'ma need you to show me now
Stand up to my conviction, then move to walk it out

[hook]
When your body's saying yes, but god is saying no
When your feelings say impressed
But the sprit says whoa
What you're feeling? that's conviction
What you're feeling? that's conviction
What you're feeling? that's conviction
I got a question: are you submittin'?
(repeat)

[verse 3]
And now I made my decision, and put it all past me
Don't feel like nothing's missing
Got the joy that's gon' last me
I'm looking forward to the award
That my lord's gon' hand me
Then my face gon' hit the floor
As I go head back to him gladly
An eternal perspective is what we're lacking sadly
When we treatin' our conviction like a batting average
And our desires require we grab like addicts
But the fact of god's wisdom, that we drop like baggage

[hook]
When your body's saying yes, but god is saying no
When your feelings say impressed
But the sprit says whoa
What you're feeling? that's conviction
What you're feeling? that's conviction
What you're feeling? that's conviction
I got a question: are you submittin'?
(repeat)
