I Yea, I am here to serve, like some waiters is/
The BOC is eatin, you can cater this/
the Bread of Life is why we got life, I want whatever my Dad likes/
I have no rights, I’m tryna be like Jesus so my swag bites/
I’m in the Light, wit my LORD, I used to try and buddy Him/
but now I treat Him like its dead week and I study Him/
at Christ, folks try to take more shots than some bar spots/
but for me my God took more whips than some car lots/
it’s heaven or hell, take ya pick, He came to fix those who are sick/
Jesus Christ, King of kings, take the crown from ya Vic/
the world be thinking we psycho/
but if I’m livin for them my sights low/
I’m here for the Father to make sons and daughters the walk is gettin harder like tight ropeeeesss/
yuh, I used to trust myself my life was foolish/
heart far from God, every day I was a Judas/
empty lookin for purpose I try to find it in myself/
I would be fulfilled if I met my goals and gain some wealth/
but naw, that’s a lie holmes/
abracadabra that lie’s gone/
and now I’m bout the Father’s biz like I got a tie on/
you livin in the dark but He’ll turn the lights on/
and keep goin, fake nails, press on/
u gotta understand that Jesus Christ paid the price for me/
I wasn’t worth a drop of blood but He gave His life for me/
laid it down raised it up reigns back in eternity/
made me a son I like to be the Spirit is daily purging me/
and I’m no longer livin, it’s Jesus who’s inside me/
go head and get a stick you can poke my dead body/
gone without a trace and we increase the murder rate/
the old me is in the dirt like he from the garden state/
