No Pride

[Intro: Kieran the Light]
I was always told to follow my heart
The Bible says what comes out of a person is what defiles them
And out of the heart comes evil thoughts
Sexual immorality, adultery
Wickedness, deception, jealousy
Envy, foolishness, and pride

[Verse 1: Kieran the Light]
Now I've surrendered, I've put all of me on the table
I'm prayin' that you could deliver me from all these spirits that got me unstable
Why do I care about what people think of me, I be too worried 'bout haters
I wanna be chasin' the purpose but really it feel like I'm chasin' the paper
And I don't know why
I'm no longer that other guy
And I don't believe all the lies
For real though, I try
I'm just thankful for Christ, I guess that's the reason He died
I'm not surprised
Had to decouple the lies
The evil I've seen in my eyes
All of these people who keep tryin' to be in my life
I feel like they all in disguise
Still not surprised
No longer makin' mistakes, including the ones in my mind
I left it behind
All of my life, God had me a job, I didn't wanna apply
I ain't even try
He told me until I am ready I'm not gon' be able to fly
I sit and I sigh
I just keep askin' Him why
He told me let go of my pride
I just, uh

[Chorus: Kieran the Light, Tierra Ducote, Both]
Until I kill my pride I'm never flyin'
'Cause I'm still runnin' from lies that's in my mind
And I'm just prayin' that I'll get a sign (I'll get a sign)
To help me identify why I've been lyin' (Woah, oh, oh)
I've been asking God to show me things (Show me things, oh)
If I let go of myself, maybe I'll see (Ooh)
That I got all these lies in front of me (In front of me)
If I let go of my pride, then I'll be free

[Verse 2: Kieran the Light, Tierra Ducote]
I can't be puttin' myself first
Worried 'bout all of the wealth first
So many people need help first
That be why everything else hurts
Always so worried 'bout self-worth
Divin' in everything headfirst
No wonder why I went through hell first
So I'm endin' the cycle
Constantly readin' His Bible had made me stop feeling entitled
The moment I stopped bein' selfish was when I became a disciple
The Day of Judgment is comin' when Satan attack on the rival
The old me is no longer livin' so now what you see is revival
Tell me how you don't believe in Jesus (Crickets)
I have yet to receive a reason
Y'all be believin' in secrecy
Since money is not happiness, it's deceivin'
Stop being selfish, you'll see the achievements
I finally believed it (Woah, oh, oh)

[Chorus: Kieran the Light, Tierra Ducote, Both]
Until I kill my pride I'm never flyin'
'Cause I'm still runnin' from lies that's in my mind
And I'm just prayin' that I'll get a sign (I'll get a sign)
To help me identify why I've been lyin' (Woah, oh, oh)
I've been asking God to show me things (Show me things, oh)
If I let go of myself, maybe I'll see (Ooh)
That I got all these lies in front of me (In front of me)
If I let go of my pride, then I'll be free

[Interlude: Kieran the Light]
Of all the deadly poisons known to humanity
None is more dangerous than pride
Pride kills it
It kills opportunities, it kills relationships, it kills leadership
It kills nations
David was one of the most powerful kings because God was with him and still was losing battles to pride
I find it interesting that even with all of his power and pride, he still needed to ask God to free him of his sins
There's always a cure
Thankfully for us, that's Jesus

[Chorus: Kieran the Light, Tierra Ducote, Both]
Until I kill my pride I'm never flyin'
'Cause I'm still runnin' from lies that's in my mind
And I'm just prayin' that I'll get a sign (I'll get a sign)
To help me identify why I've been lyin' (Woah, oh, oh)
I've been asking God to show me things (Show me things, oh)
If I let go of myself, maybe I'll see (Ooh)
That I got all these lies in front of me (In front of me)
If I let go of my pride, then I'll be free

[Outro: Kieran the Light]
Lord, I'm sorry for all the times I've taken the glory
That is rightfully Yours, and turned it towards myself
I humbly repent of my sins
And my pride
Amen
