Temple is the sixth song from Jafaris' debut album, ‘Stride’. Jafaris talks about his rise to fame and discusses how certain people only seem to want to be around him now that he’s starting to rise in fame.
[Verse 1]
It's all about minimal talk, talk
But I'm ahead of my walk, walk
Like I'm somebody's boss, boss
Like I'm still into God, and nobody tellin' you different
Still gotta handle my business
A vision ain't never been distant
Workin' to double up my interest
Cookin' up in everybody kitchen
Talkin' like I've been there, done that
Bought the T-shirt, and gave that fit right back, it didn't work
I've seen dirt, been hurt, don't get intimate
I still work, don't get time to kill it here, my peers
Run up my fear
Makin' mad moves in my area
You need to stop grindin' my gears
I need to start fightin' my fears
You need to stop puttin' me there
[Pre-Chorus]
Red light, green light, bright lights, go
East side, west side, south side, oh
Red light, green light, bright lights, go
East side, west side, south side, oh
[Chorus]
My body's a temple, body's a temple, body's a temple, ooh
My body's a temple, body's a temple, body's a temple, ooh
My body's a temple, body's a temple, body's a temple, ooh
Body's a temple, body's a temple, body's a-
[Verse 2]
They never wanna see me do flex with my jiggas
They really wanna call us a gang with no killers, illers, drillers, ooh
I know you not lettin' me through
So whatchu think I'm really gonna do
Like, "Damn you too"
You only wanna come in when I'm on YouTube
Like, "Oh, you cool" (Sideman)
Hangin' on me now you got a sideman too, get outta my way
Always trying to pickup my bread like you ain't got dough on your plate (You snake)
Eyes on the road, I'm gonna go far
Even if I did row, whatchu gonna do? None
And I run like Forrest, but I've been driving this foreign
That's when everybody start callin', cook breakfast in the mornin'
[Pre-Chorus]
Red light, green light, bright lights, go
East side, west side, south side, oh
Red light, green light, bright lights, go
East side, west side, south side, oh
[Chorus]
My body's a temple, body's a temple, body's a temple, ooh
My body's a temple, body's a temple, body's a temple, ooh
My body's a temple, body's a temple, body's a temple, ooh
Body's a temple, body's a temple, body's a temple
[Outro]
Man oh man oh man, I just might break your back
Don't get under my skin, I might just take that back
Feel like I should be real, but they don't give realness back
Being on top is a skill, still stop shootin' [?]
[?]
Feel like I've been on Earth [?] blow out the facts
Don't treat me like I'm not human, [?]
And because I glorify God, I'm always just under attack
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I'm a temple, you're a temple, we're a temple
Oh, I'm a temple, you're a temple, we're a temple
[Chorus]
My body's a temple, body's a temple, body's a temple, ooh
My body's a temple, body's a temple, body's a temple, ooh
My body's a temple, body's a temple, body's a temple, ooh
My body's a temple, body's a temple, body's a temple
