Real Life

Sin will get ya left, so I'm rolling to the right
 It gets darker everyday, gotta hold on to the light
 Yeah, the battle isn't our's, still I know I gotta fight
 Cause this flesh has gotta die if I'm a really have life
 If I'm a really have life x 4
 After seeing me on stage, people they get amazed
 Think I got it all together, no, not at all
 My life is like a lotto ball, slash the apostle Paul
 Tossed around frequently, thorn in my flesh
 More like a tape worm, it's eating me
 And all these accolades that they feeding me
 Make it hard to stay humble, the pride is like creatine
 When it rids it's head I'm headed straight for the guillotine
 Surrender without a struggle, others would probably flee the scene
 Before Barak took office knew I was free to dream
 But in my dark sub conscience I'm still free to scheme
 That's why I'm contanstly flooding it with the light
 Before it goes out of control and I struggle to get it right
 See, you gotta understand I've been hustling all my life
 To stay on the straight and narrow I tussle with all my might
 Work my fingers to the marrow, releases me when I write
 So I keep composing these carols, releasing them to the night
 I know she saw the wedding ring
 But straight up told me she want us to do some wedded things
 Bending over trying to show me her spaghetti strings
 Coming at me from all angels like some Bugetti bling
 And, while the best of me wouldn't touch it
 The rest of me want to rush it, upset with me, I'm disgusted
 A recipe for destruction, enticing me like a pro
 I'm lonely trying to stay Holy, my flesh is liking it though
 My wife majestically pregnant, how I love her
 We had some complications, doctors stating I can't touch her
 You add in the intimate innuendo from the other
 It equals opportunity for lust to take me under
 But I could not succumb to anything that would damage my wife
 Or damage my Christ, that kind of thing would damage my life
 So even though the flesh is weak, I somehow manage to fight
 The test became a testimony cause I handled it right
 Now I apologize to my listeners still lost and reckless
 Who's experience with the church, bred an off perspective
 Who's experiences have hurt, had their heart subjected
 To these Christians who act as if they got this walk perfected
 I'm hear to tell ya that everyone has slipped in this race
 But all can have the fall cushioned by the gift of his grace
 So just forget the folk expecting quick perfection, cause it's nonsense
 They're blind, renewal of the mind's a slow and steady process
 Religions can bite me, they don't like me honest
 Streets they respect, won't reject me for my rawness
 None can curse who God blessed, I am on a conquest
 Got to bring the fallen home, I am like a pawn in chess
 Sent with a reminder from the Savior above
 That the cross wasn't 'bout judgement, but a labor of love
 Now judgement day is gonna come, But everyday that you're breathing
 Just represents an opportunity to say you'll receive it (and have life)
