Reverse - Tedashii, Andy Mineo

Why is the monster taller than ever, while the weak fade away?

When justice storms, and darkness flees, I’m reminded on that day

The last shall be… (first), the first shall be… (last)

The last shall be… (Livin' in, livin' in reverse)

And everything’s in reverse

Livin' with the end in mind, something like the president

I was livin' for the moment, tryin' to own it, residence

Believe in Him, that’s the last thing I done ever chose

Gimme that rag top, trey on them chosen vogue

(I rode) That '67 Chevy my cousin drove on them golden spokes?

Life is short, and man I hope I make it down the road

But where I’m from, hope was that girl who flirted, flaunted

You never got it, but she was the one you always wanted

How good a picture perfect image front and tell you lies

My version of perversion did it every day a lie

And man that burden got me hurtin' lookin' for some answers

Endless searchin' just leave you burnin': Jo Jo Dancer

But mine ended when I saw the Lord would choose to hang

That type of love got me coming back, call it boomerang

Yet you can end the searches living waters quench my thirst

This is the day I die now I’m livin' in reverse

Why is the monster taller than ever, while the weak fade away?

When justice storms, and darkness flees, I’m reminded on that day

The last shall be… (first), the first shall be… (last)

The last shall be… (Livin' in, livin' in reverse)

And everything’s in reverse

Man all I ever wanted, was to be labeled the greatest

Cassius Clay on spittin' rhymes while rockin' the lastest

But that crept into my life in Christ, it was evident

As I debate how I was better than the rest of them

Work-based righteousness;

base my worth on some type of list and

If I keep it or not perfected every night since this

Now, I’m looking for approval, and I’m selfish!

So all I want to do is try to out do you

Silent when you ask me.

Later I’m bragging like a fool

Far from His image and couldn’t see it.

Where is the Zoom?

It’s His grace in my moment of reproof.

That helps me see the truth

Just how I sound;

no auto-tune

And in this life the last will be first and the first is last

And he’s a servant to the end.

We certain of that

That’s what I heard;

freedom from the curse

Livin' to it hurts, but the latter doesn’t matter when you in reverse

Why is the monster taller than ever, while the weak fade away?

When justice storms, and darkness flees, I’m reminded on that day

The last shall be… (first), the first shall be… (last)

The last shall be… (Livin' in, livin' in reverse)

And everything’s in reverse

Man, I’m longin' for that day when the trumpet sounds

I imagine in an instant I’d be off the ground

Face to face with my Maker, with the glorious Savior

Embraced by Forever, no pain, free from labor

And from my sinful nature, And we see Hope revealed

Free from every tribulation, see He broke the seal

Every saint around the throne in worship

Of the Perfect cause He purged us and He purchased us cause Hell is real

Receiving what we all deserve

That where we see the first shall be last and the last will be first

Either way, He’s such a generous God

It doesn’t matter if you’ve been here forever or just started to jive

He rewards us for our work, so life’s not in vain

And every saint, hold on He’s comin' again!

Revelation’s only scary if you’re not in Christ

So I don’t shine, I reveal.

call it blacklight

Why is the monster taller than ever, while the weak fade away?

When justice storms, and darkness flees, I’m reminded on that day

The last shall be… (first), the first shall be… (last)

The last shall be… (Livin' in, livin' in reverse)

And everything’s in reverse
