Jahmaol Clark - The Cup (feat. Street Hymns) Lyrics

Marriage is losing weight as I work out my faith
And the scales fall as I embrace another plate
And as I lift up my hands I praise
But never sweat or savor the saltiness
Salivating when I lose taste
But lust is pounding so I'm intoxicated by bars
Counting the shots of this 45 resounding
We OD off the OZ
And lost the weight of the OG
While drankin' cups to go lean
Don't know peace we so sleep on the whole King
But old dreams wake us up to go pee
Drunk off love thirsting for these empty cups
Pourin' up romance praying it fills us up
Cuz I'm tryna bring a gal in that my standard
But how can I lead her when I can't measure
Cuz I'm a mile high so Imma need another ruler
But in this mind state I need another trooper
Cuz the cup is weighty
My lust is tasty
The wrath He takes it He takes it he takes it
The cup He drank it
My lust He hates it
The wrath is taken, is taken, is taken
He drank it, he drank it, he drank it, the cup
He drank it, he drank it, he drank it, the cup
He drank it, he drank it, he drank it, the cup
He drank it, he drank it, he drank it, the cup
I pulled up to the bar
I said I'll never return to
But this where I turn to
See my works not cuttin' it
And I got this urge to
Drink to forget though thirst will never reverse, cool
I see they saved my spot yea
They call me a regular
I know they wanna serve me till my walk is irregular
But that's what the Uber's fo'
Lucy took my order like do you want the usual?
I said anything's suitable
I wanna drink till I blush
She put some fear and distrust
And anger all in my cup
Plus some pride and then I said a shot of lust
Yo, that is enough
She garnished it with discontentment then said bottoms up
But how she pores like skin no cap to the brim
Couldn't help but think that this gon be my end
But right then, that's when a man sat next to me
Like he's a friend of me
He asked me what's that recipe?
I told him that it's Rest In Peace
He said I'll take ya tab
While staring at the barista like she's beneath him
Lucy fades to the back
I told him yo, this costs a lot
He replied to my banter
I knew that when it was bought
I said you tryna get hammered?
He ain't deny wit an answer, he just looked at the glass
Said like ya tab I'll clear it, then he grabbed my spirit
Started to drink like a sailor
I wasn't askin' for favors
Never once did I seek em
And he drank wit no chaser
He said that I am the way
And I am the truth
You need to drink from me cuz I got the highest of proof
He started shakin'
I could tell he felt the pain from the mixture
And before he dropped dead he said from here on
Drink to remember, the cup
Cuz the cup is weighty
My lust is tasty
The wrath He takes it He takes it he takes it
The cup He drank it
My lust He hates it
The wrath is taken, is taken, is taken
He drank it, he drank it, he drank it, the cup
He drank it, he drank it, he drank it, the cup
He drank it, he drank it, he drank it, the cup
He drank it, he drank it, he drank it, the cup
I don't know why I keep going back to empty cups
My heart's corrupt cuz what I'm drinkin' is never enough
In the moment I think I am smarter
When God is patiently waiting saying I'm the fountain of living water
He's the source of all joy and all life
And when I seek these other wells then it will only end with strife
We all thirsting for delight but don't thirst for what is right
But there's a well that gives us life
And it's only found in Christ cuz
God is the only one who satisfy
Thinking sin brings lasting pleasure is the saddest lie
We were created for fellowship with Adonai
Sin separated us but Christ became the sacrifice
He came to drink the cup of wrath we deserve
Cuz we dishonor the weight of His glory when we thirst
For other things besides our eternal God who was first
But praise God Jesus came to restore all of our thirst
