Seat at the Table lyrics
by Caleb Gordon
[Intro]
Ayy, 2000, E-S-T
It's up, la-la (It's that O-C-O-E-E)
Know You right there when I'm way at the top
Yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Know You're right there when I'm way at the top
Know You're right there when I'm way low
'Til my last day, I ain't never gon' stop, 'til I go out with a halo
Know my story, writin' the plot, I do what You say so
Won't pipe down, I turn up a notch
You gave me a seat at the table
[Verse 1]
All my enemies wan' see the end of me
I just chill, let you cook up the recipe
In the mirror, I been seein' less of me
I guess that's just a part of You blessin' me
I've been plantin' the seeds just like sesame
Had to learn to let go of the stress in me
I just move like the Beatles and let it be
You don't see through the Spirit, you'll never see
Never tempt me from evil and everything
Had to put diamonds all in the wedding ring
Just to let her know it's a forever thing
Let her know it's forever, know that it's settled
I can't keep playin' around, know the enemy got a vendetta
Know it's gon' rain, that's why I went keep my script on my side, that's my holy umbrella
You like the glue, You gon' hold me together
Just like my shoe like we tied up
When I'm with You, I just know that it's better
I'm tellin' the world, I can't hide us
[Chorus]
Know You're right there when I'm way at the top
Know You're right there when I'm way low
'Til my last day, I ain't never gon' stop, 'til I go out with a halo
Know my story, writin' the plot, I do what You say so
Won't pipe down, I turn up a notch
You gave me a seat at the table
[Verse 2]
Try to lower the bar, I ain't settling
Ain't comparin' whoever ahead of me
Ain't comparin' whoever behind me
I stay focused, I'm on my assignment
You protectin' me just like the linemen
Used to think that common sense was common
'Til I found it wasn't that common
People really be movin' out nonsense
They like, "Caleb, why you movin' cautious?"
'Cause the sinnin' really make me nauseous
People really out here livin' Godless
That's like tryna fly without a pilot
That's like watchin' TV on silent
I don't say nothin', keep it private
I just hit the script and get to vibin'
I just hit the script and get to—
[Chorus]
Know You're right there when I'm way at the top
Know You're right there when I'm way low
'Til my last day, I ain't never gon' stop, 'til I go out with a halo
Know my story, writin' the plot, I do what You say so
Won't pipe down, I turn up a notch
You gave me a seat at the table
