Slim Down

VERSE 1: You tryna do it big I'm tryna slim down / physically and spiritually I'm tryna shed some pounds / the older I get the more I learn that less is greater / if this is hard to grasp then take a look at our Savior / I'm learning how to be busy not being busy / take a sec to look around I hope you still with me / cause most of the things we're busy with aren't that important / not enough bang for your buck it's so time absorbent / I'm not a jack of all trades I don't do everything well / I gotta stop being cheap with my mail cause I rather save time than money / I can make a quick buck but time slips under your nostrils like your nose is runny / pop preachers saving lives yet their home life jacked up / couldn't even be a deacon cause how their kids act up / before I do anything else I gotta take care of home first / orchestrated by God so after Him our souls thirst //

VERSE 2: You tryna do it big I'm tryna slim down / I don't want the chain homie I want the crown / I can still be stronger with a smaller frame / I can still have a huge impact with a smaller name / though I wanna go far I ain't tryna be a star / long as my car works I don't have to drive a Ferar / cause one day it'll all pass the leather and the chrome dash the 20's on your black Jag it'll all wither like grass / this a faith walk but many think it's a cake walk / since I started rapping I've seen a lot of cake walk / into cake walk pro tools and microphones / if rapping ain't your calling you need to leave the mic alone / cause I don't do this for the cash flow / you think I'm balling cause I'm almost everywhere you go / but I live in the hood and drive a '98 Toyota / please don't work for Sprint you might call saying that I owe ya //

VERSE 3: You doing it big I'm tryna slim down / my head's too big I want folk to see the town / on a hill as I let my light shine but some I know have made knowledge into a shrine / it's sad cause they learned to look big in the faith but they got muscles for no reason wow what a waste / they focus on the external more than the inner / they speak as if they're holy but they're ruthless sinners / and people are impressed because they appear intelligent / but the truth about their lives they ain't really telling it / I wanna decrease so He can increase in my life / I don't want folk to see me without seeing Christ / I don't want people leaving the show with me leaving their dough but the answer to if they changed is no / my hope is the altar where I'll grope the inner soul but Christ inside will cause em to grow //
