Metamorphic

On my own I suck, I’m so confused and misguided

My flesh tells me to lie, cheat, steal and be rewarded

Like Thomas, sometimes I wanna see the prints on His hands

So weak like seven days, yet loud like them rock bands

I’m aimed low now, on my own I can never win

So I let Him lead, on my own I only know to sin

Tried being the beast, dead end just like Tupac

Found myself in a casket, devil screaming, “Boy! You suck.”

So I called it quits, now I got that ‘No smoking’ sticker

I aint talking Madison or Pacific… hell fire really changed me quicker

But it was more of His love, now I’m on the grind in the body

I mean the body of Christ, now I got my Mr. Serve on

Wanted to be a ‘Teflon Don’, singing, “This is why I’m hot!”

But the cross showed me that really I was not

Not at all! I’m so dead, needed a Saviour to be redeemed from death

Now I’m free homeboy, now I’m His rest

Hold up homie! Chasing money, chicks and fame is lame!

We done tried it already, we still came back to call His name

Yeah, Jeezy and Ross got swag, I guess I’m dumb coz I aint got it

But then I love being dumb, coz I aint after what they chasing

Everyday is a battle; the dude in the mirror wants to run this life

But I kill him daily! Saddam Hussein style, even tried Osama

I’m a suicide bomber on him, yea, go ahead and ask my mama

I woke up today, signed a deal with that brother

“We can’t ever co-exist, one of us gotta die.” Heard what I say?

All he wants are lies; all he wants is sleep instead of pray

I’m like “You dying today homes!” He like “Bruce you tripping.”

I’m like I aint playing with you, Christ died, He wasn’t tripping

So you gotta too! Everyday of my life…I will never like you

“But I’m the face on your ID Bruce, you know you need me!”

I don’t need you at all, go ahead and get gone quickly

I’m living after the spirit, you’s a dirty old cheat

Yeah, I mean it man! And I aint nodding to that DJ Cleo beat

I’m dead to you, I’ma kill you till you the Christ returns

Go ahead and sulk at me…go ahead and tell your friends J
