Told Me to Write (God's Plan Remix)
A soulful hip‑hop track blending smooth jazz‑rap with warm, layered production. The beat is mid‑tempo and fluid, built on clean, swung drums, round bass, and rich jazz chords from electric piano and soft horns. The instrumental is not lo‑fi; it’s polished and smooth, with subtle vinyl warmth and evolving sections where the rhythm, chords, or textures shift to mirror the story. Gentle pads and airy background layers create a glowing, Sunday‑morning atmosphere without feeling sleepy. The lead is a UK‑style male vocal, raw and slightly raspy, moving naturally from confident rap verses into melodic, emotional soul singing in the hooks. Delivery is vulnerable but assured, filled with faith, gratitude, and purpose found through writing. Occasional distant harmonies and soft choir‑like swells rise in key moments, adding lift without overpowering the vocal. The overall mood is reflective, warm, and triumphant—hip hop and soul in equal measure.

Lyrics
God’s got a plan for my life
He didn’t tell me to speak,
He told me to write (yeah)
He said, channel that ink
Shine my light in these lines (yeah)
He rest his hand on me
And said the fam gon be fine
Now my mind’s at ease
God’s got a plan for my life
Yeah
God told me to write it out, I told him say less
He had the whole family shinin’ in they Sunday best
He said, don’t worry bout tomorrow,
I got a plan for that Monday mess (yeah)
He said, go raise up the fam when my sunrays set
Put that ink in your hand and show the world you blessed
(yeah) I’m blessed cuz
God’s got a plan for my life
Yeah
God’s got a plan for my life
He didn’t tell me to speak,
He told me to write (yeah)
He said, channel that ink
Shine my light in these lines (yeah)
He rest his hand on me
And said the fam gon be fine (yeah)
Put my mind at ease
God’s got a plan for my life
Yeah
Mama used to tell stories of the glory in my father’s eyes
Heard that one recording and I still haven’t stopped cryin’ inside
Hold close what you know’s important, we all slip to the other side
If God gon give me glory, Imma take it with each step in stride
If God gon give me wisdom, imma speak my mind when I know it’s right
Yeah
But I don’t need wisdom and glory,
God put love in my hand
I’m just following the steps
Walkin’ in god’s plan
Yeah
He knows my pen is my sword
And my heart is my shield
He said my love is the world
Go ‘head, write how you feel
Yeah
So I’m writing it down
Translating love and hate
Imma spill my soul
Til I reach heaven’s gate
Yeah
If God says jump, I’m brushin’ against heaven
created days in his prime, that’s why he stopped at seven
If God says get it, then I already got it
He threw down his love, and in my heart I caught it
Yeah
So I let my pen bleed,
Sing glory to the one above
Don’t let this world sting
He’s got a plan for every one of us
Yeah
God’s got a plan for my life
He didn’t tell me to speak,
He told me to write (yeah)
He said, channel that ink
Shine my light in these lines (yeah)
He rest his hand on me
And said the fam gon be fine (yeah)
Put my mind at ease
God’s got a plan for my life
