[Verse 1: Lecrae]

I ain't the standard at all

And wouldn't claim to be

But since Christ snatched me up

There's been a lot of change in me

I done got my worldview corrected

I see things eternal

Yeah I got a whole new perspective

And I don't use drugs or sell

Keep accountability coz my flesh yeah it love to fail

I don't go where I used to go

I got my number changed twice for the girls that I used to know

And I don't trip when I pass the cops

Coz I'm not making assists you know

Tryna pass the rock

I don't live life scared of death

Coz when I take my last breath

The next step is there in Text

I'm not a legalist and I ain't hating

But there's things I don't and won't do man I read Galatians

And I keep reading Ephesians

If it's Christ we believe in we shouldn't be confused with the heathens


[Hook]

You gon ride with us? Nah I don't do that there

You getting high with us? Nah I don't do that there

You wanna hit a lick? Nah I don't do that there

Get a couple chicks? Uh-uh I don't do that there

You gon roll with us? Nah I don't do that there

You getting throwed with us? Nah I don't do that there

I know you gon hit it right? Nah I don't do that there

C'mon I know you with it right? Uh-uh I don't do that there


[Verse 2: Lecrae]

Man I don't trip on copping whips

If it ain't a DVD you won't catch me popping clips

I don't trip on chains and shoes

My God thinking bout whether to change the city sky from greys to blues

I don't chase love up in the club

I chase thugs with a great love sent from the heavens above

I don't care about the famous names

Coz when Christ come back a lot of folks gone be nameless mayne

And I ain't worried bout speaking His name

If it wasn't for Christ, yeah we'd all be sinking in flames

And I don't even wanna change the game

Your favorite rapper got saved last night, yeah that's the aim

The world we living in is simply tempting

So I quit consenting to my flesh when it tries to pimp me

Till I die or God come to get me

I ain't doing what this world wanna do

Now is ya with me?


[Hook]


[Verse 3: R-Swift]

I'ma keep it short simple and plain

I used to fiend for the pimp game

But got with Christ and switched my aim

Flipped my pain to a burden

To grab Hip-Hop, His name and merge it

With His word as the plate then serve it

Cats like who you serve kid?

Man it's gotta be Him

Who wiped my sin slate clean like Oxy-10

I rock Christ from PA to Dallas

R-Swift and Lecrae walk in the Spirit

Till our feet ache with callous

Nah I'm buggin but for real my point is

Without Christ life is pointless

This joint is for the prisoners trapped on the block

We're blasting shots, cause cats to drop like temperatures

Without Christ and His restoration

Your chance of making it is slimmer than Blacks getting reparation

Jesus Christ man the Ancient of Days

Get with Him for eternal life and pass the phrase


[Hook]


[Outro]

(You gon ride with us?)

Nah player, I don't even get down like that no more

(You getting high with us?)

I ain't even tryin' to do that man

(You wanna hit a lick?)

(Get a couple chicks?)

Nah man, I can't even do it

(You gon roll with us?)

Y'all rollin out?

Yeah go and do that

(You getting throwed with us?)

I can't even move with you no more man

(I know you gon hit it right?)

I know Christ man, that's all I know now

(C'mon I know you with it right?)

I'm sayin I'm not the same

I'm a new creature

A whole new creation

A whole new mentality

I can't get down with it

Know what I'm sayin?

It's real life

Real talk

I can't do it
