Trust Myself
V.1
(Look at me) I'm just so impressed with myself
My sin's showing His face like, let's go for self
Wake up in the morning like, man I'm still in it
Look outside and yep the world still spinning
The world still sinning, bright lights at night
With fast living, women, money and fights for life
Yeah, I know I'm free in Christ, the Romans Strip (Road)
But my flesh kinda clumsy and prone to slip
Plus I got enough struggles, I don't need no assistance
That's why I tell temptation to keep a distance
My sin nature be like, I don't care
That's when I play, Real Talk, I don't do that there
Yeah, and if my mind just don't get the picture
Your boy lean back and meditate on the Scriptures
Like Romans 12, Galatians 5
Or Ephesians 2, I'm made alive homie
If the truth hurts, cool with me
I ain't tryna let sin make a fool of me
Never see me iced out, full of jewelry
Too scared of what my pride might do to me

V.2
I remember 1999, thought that I was doing fine
A picture of perfect health
I just got saved but I'm bout to get played
Coz I was trusting in myself
I jumped in the ride with the crew
Saying that I wouldn't do
What I used to do for fun
But now here temptation comes
Ayo dawg pass that coke and rum...
I'm real scared of myself dawg, I ain't lying
Just me against the world? Nope I ain't buying
Moses had Aaron and Hur, Joshua, Caleb
Jesus rolled with twelve, Jonathan had David
So what I look like trusting my flesh?
On my own, ending up in my mess
My sin, my pride
Ay why the Lord make me His Bride?
V.3
I said I don't trust myself but that's no excuse for
To be wildin' out like sin ain't crucial
Old me is corrupt for the abuse of lust (2 Peter 1:4)
That's why, renew my mind, in the truth I trust
I'm a child of the King, all eyes on Christ
Submit to the Lord, resist the vice
Even though I know I'm redeemed and saved
I ain't tryna play around with the worldly ways
We are no longer slaves to sin
We believe we're indwelt and now the Spirit stays within
We struggle well, we playing to win
We ain't playing with sin
We don't want it named among us as men
Or as sisters, I wish the world could all see
The world through the lens of Psalm 73
I don't trust me but I do trust the God
Who's righteousness can renew, plus clean!
