  • Aye look what's good fam it's me again
    The one you used to call your friend
    I know you ain't forgot me?

    Oh yeah you always get me caught in sin

    Here you go with that again
    You act like we ain't cool or sumthin
    Let's go smoke a Kool or sumthin
    Talk and sip a brew or sumthin

    Naw man I ain't trusting you
    Ain't nothing but lust in you
    Thanks be to God I obeyed the teaching I was entrusted to
    Cause when you pass by you just want ya boy to backslide
    Have me feeling sick like I'm coming down off a crack high

    Man that's a flat lie
    You act like I'm the bad guy
    You know when me and you get together we have a grand time
    Let's take it back. All the way to like the 6th grade
    Last thing on your mind back in the day was trying to live saved
    Remember house parties, kissing in the dark?
    Man that was innocent fun come on

    NOW don't start
    See dawg I live by the Spirit so I don't gratify
    All them old sinful desires that never satsify

    Aye come on KILL THAT!
    Look me in my face and tell me I'm a lie
    You ain't feeling chasing women, getting drunk
    And getting high, stacking money, staying fly
    Living up the playas life, we was
    Having fun now gone try to be religious guy

    Aye Yo man first of all LOWER YOUR VOICE! Who you talkin' to?
    Handcuffed in August '02 I got caught with you
    Truck flipped over on 35 that was all from you
    I'll mess around and lose my life man tryna walk in you
    I'm standing on these stages and got these people believing me
    What I look like trying ta gratify this disease in me

    So Now I'm a disease? Man please. I got yo back dawg
    I ain't saying drop the Jesus and be a rap star
    All I'm saying is when it's you and me let's be real folk
    We ain't gotta be selling drugs and tryna kill folk
    Maybe just a lil

    What? A lil this, a lil that, a lil BET late at night
    That's like a lil crack, see you ain't gone lie to me
    I see how you be tryna be
    BET tonight becomes addiction to pornography
    And that's in no way honoring the God who's ruling sovereignly

    Man you know you miss them old days

    Yeah you right possibly
    But after that I sober up and think of Jesus holding up
    His skin up on the cross for all them drunken nights I'm throwing up
    Every thought of blowin up is captured in his flowing blood
    I start thinking Philippians 4:8 when you showing up

    You know I ain't gone quit right?

    Yeah I know but I'm dead to you
    And one day I'll be present with Jesus who died and bled from you
    Colossians 1:15 that's the God that I trust in
    The Father crushed Him
    In doing so he has crushed sin Writer/s: Devon Burroughs, Dion Burroughs, Le Crae Devaughn Moore
