Money, sex and power, are good
|
|
What? You want me to listen to who?
|
I don't know, I used to like Trip Lee when he first came out
|
Now I'm feelin' like he be actin' like money is a sin or something
|
I don't know, what he talkin' 'bout now?
|
|
Let me get this off my chest, I know some folks gon' be mad
|
Ain't tryna start no mess, but I know how folks gon' react
|
Feel I gotta strive and press, tell 'em what I mean till they see that
|
They think I got a problem, with dollars, and makin' green cash
|
But money really ain't the problem, every grand is a grant from the Father
|
When I said we can't serve both God and cash many folks thought I meant "Don't bother"
|
But I ain't sayin' makin' money ain't right, I'm just sayin' that your money ain't Christ
|
Please don't bow down to the greenback and let them stacks rule your life
|
Ain't tryna say you shouldn't get paid, I ain't tryna say that we should stay broke
|
But money don't mean you got favor, bein' broke don't mean that you don't
|
Money is a gift that's good, give it to the Father, to the giver
|
I've been misunderstood but I trust in the God who deliver
|
|
Please don't miss the problem, mayne it is not the God who reigns
|
It is not the gifts He gave, this is what I gotta say, say
|
Don't exalt them over the God we praise
|
You can't really enjoy Him till your heart's replaced
|
The gifts and the Giver of good
|
The gifts and the Giver of good
|
The gifts and the Giver of good
|
Your heart is where the problem's at, let's get that understood
|
|
I got something on my mind, bro some folks might not like that
|
Feel like it's about that time to hit 'em with the Truth where that light's at
|
But still some folks wanna fight that, 'cause hand that feeds wanna bite that
|
'Cause they think it's pleasin', it's makin' demons of all that He made but despite that
|
He grants good gifts like sex, I ain't tryna start no messin'
|
I don't wanna get graphic with all the fact cause He gave it so we could be blessed
|
Please don't, act like I'm gone, please don't, just say I'm wrong, just stay
|
Confident in the Word, you'll see, that He condones it
|
Sex ain't the problem, it's sinners who just forgot Him
|
Distortin', corrupt like Soddom, the gifts, they want 'em without Him
|
It's beautiful in it's proper place, marriage, until we pop it up
|
And turn our footsteps from His face, and then we problem
|
|
We don't miss the problem, mayne it is not the God who reigns
|
It is not the gifts He gave, this is what I gotta say, say
|
Don't exalt them over the God we praise
|
You can't really enjoy Him till your heart's replaced
|
The gifts and the Giver of good
|
The gifts and the Giver of good
|
The gifts and the Giver of good
|
Your heart is where the problem's at, let's get that understood
|
|
(You gotta explain)
|
Last, verse still gotta be real, submit my thoughts under His will
|
Even if it ain't really what I feel, gotta let Him take that, take that wheel
|
Last thing to talk about, before end of discussion
|
I heard power corrupts, no it just shows our corruption
|
But power's really a blessing, to meet it, to resurrection
|
And build it to help this mess up, of world in which we're restin', mayne
|
Our heart's the issue so submit it to the good Lord
|
He will replace it, what you think we call Him good for?
|
|
We don't miss the problem, mayne it is not the God who reigns
|
It is not the gifts He gave, this is what I gotta say, say
|
Don't exalt them over the God we praise
|
You can't really enjoy Him till your heart's replaced
|
The gifts and the Giver of good
|
The gifts and the Giver of good
|
The gifts and the Giver of good
|
Your heart is where the problem's at, let's get that understood
|
|
Ok, ok, I think I got what he talkin' 'bout now
|
It ain't that money, power and sex are the problem
|
It's that something is wrong with my lil', my own lil' heart
|
I don't know, we'll see, still think that man trippin'
