Utmost Desire ft. jeph.ilosopher Lyrics

Yeah, sometimes my actions are confusing me

I know what's right but still get caught up in the foolery

I'm supposed to work for unity

I've been awakened to my selfish ways, and now I'm losing sleep

If I said I'm perfect I'd be lying, like I play in Detroit

Gotta bring myself to account each day like I work for Deloitte

Make an adjustment like a trip to The Joint

When the goal is to serve, everybody wins, maybe that's the point

It took some time for me to see it but now I realize

That we can't see in the darkness it's all part of the design

God told us to be a lamp, it's time to reply

So we shine

Your utmost desire must be to confer happiness upon each other

Your utmost desire must be to confer happiness upon each other

Each one must be the servant of the others

Happiness upon each other

It's kind of funny how

We get so busy lifting weights for our health

You could be building that same muscle lifting up someone else

I'm feeling like, my work and life

They don't need to balance

They need to unite

How many virtues can I earn if I serve you right

What about reciprocal joy when I can reverse your plight

Help you live your perfect life

You might be wondering, what about me

If i give everything away, will i have what i need

The moral is, the more we give

The more spiritual blessings that we can form within

How do we know which of our possessions are important things

We tend to rationalize until we're hoarding things

Taking space for joy it seems

That's why not only serving others is promoting peace

But scientifically, helping can boost your dopamine

Wow

I feel it in my veins when I'm vain

But I fill generosity through my arteries, go

Pump it out then

Pump it out then

Your utmost desire must be to confer happiness upon each other

Your utmost desire must be to confer happiness upon each other

Each one must be the servant of the others

Happiness upon each other
