Get Your Weight Up

[Verse 1]
If pain is weakness leaving the body then I cry every black night
Tryna get my act right, trying to get my pack tight
Cause that might be the reason why I lost the last fight
Cause I couldn't recall word of the 1 I'm trying to act like
People wanna act like they don't wanna feel me
Like everyone is chiseled, I gotta bring the real me
The stretch marks, the ill me, the sinful, the filthy
Ain't what you expected, get a refund, bill me
But the Body's looking sluggish, Christian rappers wanna thug it
Christian's pulled to sin every time their flesh is tuggin'
"Anyone living holy?" Sound familiar?
What happened to being different, I thought we were peculiar
But folks can't tell the difference, we do the same things they do
This earth is so temporal, eternal is Jesus
We need discipline, gotta start resisting sin
Wanna carry your cross? Then you gotta

[Verse 2]
I got the top trainer, Dae Dae in my corner
Strategy on my mind, leave him to the coroner
They think I'm shadow boxing, the crowd starts mocking
Not seeing my fight even though they are watching
But they aren't paying attention, we don't fight against flesh
This slugfest ain't easy for me to pass unlike a drug test
Cause this mess, I'm attracted to, but I'm trying to counteract it dude
Seems like in the day I'm acting cool then at night it comes straight out the blue
Back then in the Spirit, I use to look puny
A scrub in the ER like George Clooney
Suffering from malnourishment and dehydration
I didn't live for Jesus, I lived for the sensation
But that really depressed me, empty is how it left me
Because it's so short lived, now it doesn't impress me
I live for what's eternal, I live life on the bench press
Cause muscles don't come without resistance, so

[Verse 3]
It's easier to resist sin that doesn't mean much
You wouldn't do it no way because that's not your lust
But what's the thing that competes with Jesus for your heart
The sin that attracts you, ranks highest on your chart
Trust me, I've been there, sometimes I'm still there
I overcome sin but still have to peel layers
Of deep rooted wrongdoing, so frustrating
I love God but I wished it showed in my patience
Cause that's where the power comes, that's where the peace comes
That's where the fulfillment comes, that's where the beast comes
When you start working out your salvation
With fear and trembling, call it formation
So let's up the ante, sin no longer amp's me
Gotta read the manual, His Word does the clamping
When I press towards God I press away sin
Sin is the weight and I'm bench pressing
