[Intro]
God told me that
That's 'cause God told me that
God told me
That's 'cause God told me

[Chorus 1]
I'm only gettin' better, that's 'cause God told me that
I'm on a different level, that's 'cause God told me that
I know that I'm special, that's 'cause God told me that
Ain't gotta tell me nothing extra, that's 'cause God told me that
I don't need no friends, that's 'cause God told me that
I'm forgiven for my sins, that's 'cause God told me that
I know that I'm gon' win, that's 'cause God told me that
And I put that on my kid, that's 'cause God told me

[Post-Chorus]
(God told me, yeah)
That's 'cause God told me

[Verse 1]
Turn off the lights!
Well, that ain't an option
God really chosе the kid like I was up for adoption
Lately I'vе been on a roll, I don't know how you gon' stop me
Look at my neck, it's way too cold, you do what you want when you poppin'
I was born a Leo, I feel like the Lion of Judah
I know some people watch me come up, wonder how I do this
How I got these bars, I looked up to Wayne and Luda'
How I got this smart, well, God made my mind a computer
I learned to never worry and to never say I can't
I'm like David with my courage, I'm like Samson with the strength
I'm too much of an artist, I get on these tracks and paint
I came up out New Orleans, was born to become a saint
I was gifted as a child, he gave me this word to carry
I deliver with no effort, I feel like the virgin Mary
I am a-preachin' til I can't even, when I'm becomin' weary
I know Jesus coming back, and He cookin' up something scary
Anything that comes your way by force was not meant for you
Anything that locates you on it's own was yours and will be yours forever
When you anointed by God, it changes an individual
From bein' an ordinary person into a giant
Bring the hook in
[Chorus 2]
I'm only gettin' better, that's 'cause God told me that (God told me)
I'm on a different level, that's 'cause God told me that (They don't believe)
I know that I'm special, that's 'cause God told me that (I know I'm special)
Ain't gotta tell me nothing extra, that's 'cause God told me that (You ain't gotta tell me nothing!)
I don't need no friends, that's 'cause God told me that (I don't need friends)
I'm forgiven for my sins, that's 'cause God told me that (I'm forgiven)
I know that I'm gon' win, that's 'cause God told me that (I already know I'm gon' win)
And I put that on my kid, that's 'cause God told me

[Post-Chorus]
And that's real
I'm here forever
That's 'cause God told me

[Outro]
He's not gonna want to give you something that's gon' pull you all the way away from Him
So He wants to test you to see
What can He trust you with
That's gon' still keep you focused with Him
Or and keep it at a relationship with Him
Because He, He doesn't want it to be in religion
He don't want it to be something like 'Oh, I gotta pray for you
Pray for you because that's what I'm supposed to do' I'm Christian
Having a relationship with God is something that's the main part of this, this oneness and your identity
