Chorus
Brothers/ are we lovers of pleasure or of God?/ if not then let’s cross to the other side
Sisters/ Yes/ do a check/ for self respect/ check/ don’t sell it for wealth and regret
Families/ what up/ stay together/ pray together/ brave the elements of weather/ whether it’s sunshine or rain/ do that thing like it’s your day job/ work it overtime/ over time we’ll make’em praise God
1st verse
When they look/ they’re shook/ they’re like/ where’d you get your wisdom from/ I bet it’s from that book/ cuz we don’t point to us/ we stay pointed up/ this is how God appointed us to live/ he entrusts His kids with a road map to peace/ cuz the streets is like the Middle East/ a beast/ but He teaches us to say no to desires that rage like fires in our souls/ then He goes and shows us what’s best/ and gives us His mind to help us say yes/ and He tells us stay blessed/ and to walk in the light/ and live like it’s day/ and not get lost in the night/ He helps us to desire what we should/ and protects us like a fence unless it’s all good/ now you can climb His barbed wire and get scared by it but how’s that gonna make’em lift God higher/ Chorus
Chorus
2nd verse
Poc made it cool to be a thug/ why not be the one to make’em say/ “Ok made it cool to be in love with God”/ or “pop ain’t no fool he put his trust in God”/ I remember when I was in school I put in plugs for God/ back then it was hard to try to find the balance between the daily and the divine/ now I find that it’s just one of those things/ that for the Christian those two are one in the same/ it’s not something we construct ourselves/ scripture instructs us how to conduct ourselves/ we’re still human beings/ still humans seeing and doing as humans do it’s just our views are changing/ we don’t laugh at all the jokes/ especially when the hope that we hold is called a hoax/ no club and bed hoppin’/ it’s tuff not to sin when you’re constantly breaking your neck watchin’em I know/ she ain’t have to where them jeans like that but that don’t mean you gotta stare all at her seems like that/ it seems like that’s the hardest part of all is how to stand strong after standing for the alter call/ but we gotta learn to say no/ sometimes we gotta lay low/ not that we rockin’ halos we just gotta stay on or J.O./
Chorus
3rd verse
You can clock out but I’m punching mines/ hard workers are getting’ harder to find like it’s quarter to lunch time/ but I know some/ they aint livin’ ho-hum they go gung-ho for the Son/ it’s not an issue of going to work or not/ tell’em Tonic/ when you’re heavenly minded it’s the only choice you got/ and ambassador told us Christ soldiers like rolling with Him now no more wait til this life’s over/ Truth gave a shout to my Christians in school who decided to be more Christian than cool/ and sometimes when you’re livin’ the truth/ you don’t have to say a word cuz your life is the livin’ proof/ that’s Badia Jeter she said it the sweetest/ I’m a spokes model on the runway for Jesus/ see/ our job/ is to find life and define life without going outside of our God/ I go to work/ like it’s 9 am/ trying hard to find me a friend who reminds me of Him/ be distinct/ don’t let the lines blend/ to where they can’t tell where you start and the carnal mind ends/
