Intro (God’s Gift Freestyle)

For God's sake, and for his sake only
I'm wondering if you can partake and pray for me
Pray I do it for his glory not my own
Before I turn my back on him I'd take a 40 to the dome

Still struggle with pride, wrestle with ego
Did a song with Dre Murray this right here feel like a sequel
Feel like I just gave yall a ???
Play strong but I'm still kinda weak though
Outside I appear divine and calm
But inside my heart like a freak show, evil evil

We know the difference between wrong and right
And our condition got us wishing for the longest life
We still gotta eat though
And the game don't come with a cheat code
See the pain gon' come and the rain gon' come
And the wolf gon' come in the sheep coat

Shout out Slaughter Rico
And every rapper from Philly
I'm a rapper from Philly see the old me clap him and kill he
Cuz I don't need no praise
From the street or the stage
Arrogance is a drug, and that buzz lasts for days

Remember shooting up disregarding my flaws
Bragging on myself getting high off the applause
Feeling like a rockstar, lit up like a cop car
Money power respect, I wanted all of the above

You know how it feel, you relate when I keep it real
You know even when we wrong we quick to make an appeal
If that was me instead of Christ on mountain above the hills
And Satan woulda made me that offer I woulda kneeled

We all woulda
But thank God for the carpenter
Who carried himself marvelous, all for us
The lion and the lamb, firstborn of the great I Am
Propitiation for sin; body double for man

Died for that dealer in the Lex bubble sedan
And the religious people that try to hustle his plan
No tussle; he didn't put up a struggle to defend
During a scuffle he never not even once lifted a hand

He stayed quiet on the receiving end of violence
Who woulda knew the lion would remain as silent as a lamb
So as a man I stand crossing out my own name
There's one love, one life and there can only be one King

All praises to the captain, Jesus Christ the king, you already know what it is
53787 when you see it you know what it is. It's all about him
It's for God's sake, man
He came down, he died for us while we was dirtbags
While we was still on scumbag mode
And he covered up all our sins or whatever
You know what I'm saying he did it all for us
The perfect sacrifice, for some messed up jacked up people
I fit right in that boat in that category perfectly, so I signed up
Yo, for God's sake man — it's our response
The way we live. We don't do good because we good people or whatever, we do good because he good
That's our response to the amazing work he did on the cross for our lives or whatever
If you don't know him today, just receive that, just accept that
That Jesus Christ, God, came off the cross, crossed cultures into humanity
And we all know we broken, busted and disgusting, messed up people
He crossed the culture, became a man, walked this earth sinless
And then got charged with all our sins
And got nailed to a cross and killed
Three days later he rose up, like homie I'm back
And I'm ball-starved in the game or whatever
King of kings, lord of lords
And because of that, because he died for our sins
That's why we do what we do
That's daddy for us, you understand what I'm saying
It's for God's sake
