[Verse 1: Mac the Doulos]
I ain't living for my job, ain't living for my squad
Man I'm living for my God
Real rap man this isn't a facade
I'm committed to the cause, man I'm driven like a car
This life I'm living was given to me at a price
And the price was paid by Christ who gave
His life but didn't stay in the grave
After a 3 day delay Christ was raised
If you on this side of truth
Then I advise you to die to you
And live for Him
Don't move to the world's cue man yo they live for sin
Forget about the goals people go for
More doe, dope clothes, trying to showboat
Never follow where the world's trying to lead us
Hold it down, pledge your allegiance to Jesus
[Hook]
Live it up! Read that scripture. Follow that scripture. Model that scripture
Live it up! Ay yo commune with the LORD
In prayer just so you can stay in tune with the LORD
Live it up! Chill. Be still. Know that He's God and yield to His will
Live it up! Decide on which side you gonna stand
Get in line with His plan and rely on His hand
[Verse 2: Mac the Doulos]
Some folk go for the gusto when they live they life
But give they life to things that don't mean that much though
The hype and the fame, the cars and the riches
The ice and the chains, the bars and the liquor
If ya life is saved, you're nothing like the world
Stark contrast like night and day, that don't make cats happy
You might be a black sheep, but that's the price you pay for living in the righteous way
You might rumble with your ways
Humble 'cause you stumble everyday and drop the ball like a fumble on the play
OK! But everyday God's just growing you more
And showing you more and everyday process
Get in the script so knowledge can grow
To be knowledgeable about the God that you know
He's sovereign yo let Him have His way
Remember you're the clay-made for the Potter to mold
[Hook]

[Verse 3: Mac the Doulos]
People spend their lives trying to search for
What on earth they're on earth for
The truth's not far away, but look at Jim and them
Trying to ball like Tim, taking the harder way
If you ain't sinning, they call it missing out
I call it focused in purpose trying to live it out
So make your priority living for the Christ
'Cause the majority, they ain't living for the Christ
You gotta focus on God's goal
Plus sty on patrol for them lost souls
Open the Book. Look at Luke 10:2
The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few
Kats is trying to floss like "never mind the boss!"
So when we interrupt they wanna get rid of us
But no giving up on your mission 'cause
When your lifestyle is lifting Him up you living it up!
