[Intro: Lecrae, Prostitute, Drug Dealer & Cashier]

Hello? Yeah, what's up, man?

Yeah, I'm finna head to the studio right now

I'm just, uh, about to go to the store real quick, get me a energy drink

A'ight then, I'll holla at you

Hey, playa, you wanna have some fun?

Ah, nah, sis, you got the wrong one, man

Forget you then

What's up, little bruh? I got some of that green-green

Why don't you get one of these bags up off me? Get your tie dye 'round here

Nah, homie, I'm straight, you got that, man

Yeah, I just wanna get this energy drink

This all for you, man? You don't need no Zig-Zags, no Newport, nothin' like that?

Nah, man

Let me tell you what, you mix this energy drink with some Hennessey you'd be thawed, dog

Go into the back and get your fifth, dog

Nah, man, I got Jesus, man, I'm good, homie

A'ight, I got Jesus too, but Jesus and Hennessey go good together

Ah, temptation, boy, I promise

[Verse: Lecrae's Flesh & Lecrae]

Ayy, look, what's good, man? It's me again

The one you used to call your friend (Who?)

I know you ain't forgot me?

Oh, yeah, you always get me caught in sin

Oh, here you go with that again

You act like we ain't cool or somethin'

Lets go smoke a Kool or somethin'

Talk and sip a brew or somethin'

Uh-uh, nah, man I ain't trustin' you

Ain't nothin' but lust in you

Thanks be to God, I obeyed the teachin' I was entrusted to

'Cause when you pass by, you just want your boy to backslide

Have me feelin' sick like I'm comin' down off a crack high

Ah, come on, man, that's a flat lie

You act like I'm the bad guy

You know when me and you get together, we have a grand time

Let's take it back, all the way to like the sixth grade

Last thing on your mind back in the day was tryna live saved

Remember house parties, kissin' in the dark?

Man, that was innocent fun, come on

Now, don't start

See, dog, I live by the Spirit, so I don't gratify

All them old sinful desires that never satisfy

Ayy, come on, kill that

Look me in my face and tell me I'm a lie

You ain't feelin' chasin' women, gettin' drunk, and gettin' high

Stackin' money, stayin' fly, livin' up the playas life?

We was havin' fun, now you gon' try to be religious? God

Ayo, man, first of all, lower your voice

Who you talkin' to?

Handcuffed in August '02, yeah, I got caught with you

Truck flipped over on 35, that was all from you

I'll mess around and lose my life, man, tryna walk in you

I'm standin' on these stages and got these people believin' me

What I look like? Tryna gratify this disease in me

So now I'm a disease? Man, please, I got yo' back, dog

I ain't sayin' "Drop the Jesus and be a rap star"

All I'm sayin' is, when it's you and me, let's be real folk

We ain't gotta be sellin' drugs and tryna kill folk

Maybe just a lil'

What? "A lil' this, a lil' that"

A lil' BET late at night, that's like a lil' crack

See, you ain't gon' lie to me, I see how you be tryna be

BET tonight becomes addiction to pornography

That's in no way honorin' the God who's rulin' sovereignly

Ayy, man, you know you miss them old days

Yeah, you right, possibly

But after that, I sober up, think of Jesus holdin' up

His skin up on the cross for all them drunken nights I'm throwin' up

Every thought of blowin' up is captured in his flowin' blood

I start thinkin' Philippians 4:8 when you showin' up

Ayy, you know I ain't gon' quit, right?

Yeah, I know, but I'm dead to you

And one day, I'll be present with Jesus who died and bled from you

Colossians 1:15, that's the God that I trust in

The Father crushed Him, in doin' so, he has crushed sin
