Eighteen years a flesh and she news to the Lord, 18 years a fish and shes new to the yard Shes a baby drinking milk instead of food that is hard, but she chose to take the challenge though she knew it was hard Knew what it was to feel pain since she was 2 in the yard, memories of daddy getting merked catching 2 in the heart Plus her momma was a product of 70s crack parties, the lack of supervision allowed her to act naughty She skipping all class but goin to frat parties, dressed to kill, dolled up, they call her the black Barbie She rocks the hottest fashion masking her hearts darting pain behind Greeks saying Hey, what up shorty? Shes loving the attention ignoring her conviction because shes up in college getting noticed like evictions And for the first time its like she finally found significance, shes catching compliments but at the cost of her innocence Dont play yourself like that like that, make a change Ill tell you where its at where its at Place your faith in Christ and Hell bring you back, bring you back to reality man Cause youre stuck in a world full of sin, full of pain, full of scars, money, fashion, and cars So go ahead and make Him King of your heart and youll find yourself in Him Young dude up in college feeling cocky like 2 Glocks, up in the dorm writing Dear Mama letters like Tupac Mad at the world thats trying to break him into 2 parts, feeling cheated, defeated, hes looking for a new start His momma lied bout cheating on his daddy, he couldnt trust her, far as he concerned his real daddy was a busta So since he couldnt discern this stuff, nowhere to turn and trust he burned the kush and turned to lust Women was his escape, adolescence his scapegoat, all the pressures of life wore him down like he played sports He played sports but that was just for attention his struggles with insecurities made him feel insufficient The thoughts of other men concerning him kept concerning him, he thought if he didnt please them then theres no love for him Prisoned within himself by the vision of himself, so disgusted with life he wished he was someone else Dont play yourself like that like that, make a change Ill tell you where its at where its at Place your faith in Christ and Hell bring you back, bring you back to reality man Cause youre stuck in a world full of sin, full of pain, full of scars, money, fashion, and cars So go ahead and make Him King of your heart and youll find yourself in Him Nobody told us God wanted a relationship, they just said that He was Master with a patient whip Out to get me if I chose to forsake His gift saying my sin would be the reason if His patience dipped And I aint perfect so I figured that He must hate me, must hate me so my hope was to not frustrate things So I gave Him very Sunday plus my bedtime prayer, and instead of my girls room I went to bed downstairs I lived everyday thinking that His love was conditional believing the subliminals that God was never into us But despite my world views and my girls views I decided to side with the God who changed my world views It aint worth it man to work your hand to plan to please the people, see Im certain man assertive hands stand to see the cement All men will bow to this God whos real, and because of His love your significance is Dont play yourself like that like that, make a change Ill tell you where its at where its at Place your faith in Christ and Hell bring you back, bring you back to reality man Cause youre stuck in a world full of sin, full of pain, full of scars, money, fashion, and cars So go ahead and make Him King of your heart and youll find yourself in Him
