SPECIAL RECIPE LYRICS
[Verse 1]
When you mix the ish with the illa drugs in the middle
Starve 'em, then give him that gang banging.
Fill the pot up with hate and neglected pain, certified criminal, then make a Christ change
[Pre-Chorus]
He won't let you stop my style, he won't let you break me down
(hey)
He made me in the bottom of the streets, now he done gave me Jesus (hey)
A picture with his perfect plizan, He placed His spirit upon mezay
(hey)
You ain't gotta sign me for nothing, he gon' give me exactly what im wanting
(hey)
[Chorus]
I won't stop, I'm a special recipe straight from God
And I will fulfill my destiny
I won't stop, I'm a special recipe straight from God
And I will fulfill my destiny
He won't let you stop my style, he won't let you break me down
(hey)
He made me in the bottom of the streets, now he done gave me Jesus (I HEARD A VOICE)
Ishmael, do you hear me calling? I sent you through all the difficult times to mold you; now it's time to see what I made you to be.
Just let go of all the darkness and come to me.
A picture with his perfect plizan, He placed His spirit upon mezay
(hey)
You ain't gotta sign me for nothing, he gon' give me exactly what im wanting
(hey)
[Chorus]
I won't stop, I'm a special recipe straight from God
And I will fulfill my destiny
I won't stop, I'm a special recipe straight from God
And I will fulfill my destiny
[Bridge]
Anybody in my way,
Gone move!
Anybody in my way,
Gone move!
You can say what you want, try to front, but I bet you gon' see what he sent me to be.
Anybody in my way,
Gone move!
Anybody in my way,
Gone move!
I am great, I got sauce, I got wisdom, and that's all from Jesus
[Chorus]
I won't stop, I'm a special recipe straight from God
And I will fulfill my destiny
I won't stop, I'm a special recipe straight from God
And I will fulfill my destiny
I won't stop, I'm a special recipe straight from God
And I will fulfill my destiny
I won't stop, I'm a special recipe straight from God
And I will fulfill my destiny
[Outro]
Before I formed you in your mother's womb, I knew you
Before you were born, I sanctified you
I ordained you a prophet to the nations
Behold, Ishmael, I have heard you
And I will bless you, and I shall make you fruitfully wealthy in every area, multiplying you exceedingly
And I shall make your name a great nation
