Soul Ties

You know, my father will kill me
 If he know I was out with the boy tonight
 I told them I was going to church
 The Lord is good
 Why don't you come on over here and sit down, relax a little bit (okay)
 (Yeah)
 Yeah, the enemy makes a living watching souls die
 She can see the difference from her own eyes, yeah
 'Cause she's not used to not having somebody
 Around don't know how to spend her alone time, uh
 So she's looking for the next thing, yeah
 But the flesh is never satisfied, yeah
 That's when Satan starts to strategize
 Brings in all these guys, now you caught up in these soul's ties, uh
 You deserve to be a wife
 But you rather settle for one that won't treat you right
 You'd rather him pursue you more than he's pursuing Christ
 Ignoring all the signs, you risking eternal life
 That's life I say it twice, you dimming your light
 For a comment and like
 A caption where he writes that you are his type
 You pray he keeps it posted on his page overnight
 'Cause when you livin' in that sin, that's your appetite
 Yeah, now you hittin' up yo' girls for advice
 But they speaking from they flesh
 They ain't telling you what's right
 Telling you grab his debit card and just swipe
 But that's another fight you don't
 Wanna pay the price for but you enticed
 Feel like you entitled, see the world black and white
 But you won't acknowledge, when you let him hit, that's where you striked
 Forget about your faith and you been walking by your sight
 Now on sight you say you got something for him though
 But this happened with the last man before him though
 So either you know what's gon' happen or don't wanna know
 You suppose to be a Proverbs 31 woman, though that's what you said
 That man misleading if he ain't spirit lead
 How it's him that you feeding, he suppose to be the head
 Showed you all the signs you still don't see the red
 No matter how good he looks, that could be good as dead, yeah
 If he ain't leading you to Christ
 But in the back of your mind you think it's gon' be alright
 You think you can change him, but girl that ain't yo' fight
 You gon' mess around and lose yo' life
 Being tied to a soul, you gotta let it go
 But every time you say you 'bout to do it
 You get back into your feelings, you don't wanna be alone
 'Cause you just want somebody to love you even if it's wrong
 Sis, you gotta be stronger than this
 'Cause this yo' life, but you making yours harder for his and it ain't right
 You say we judge you we just tryna love you, give good advice
 Your daughters watching you drink away your tears every night
 And that ain't fair to them
 So when I say a prayer for you, I say a prayer for them
 'Cause they just want to be cared for like you care for him
 Because of choices you made, look what you prepared for them
 You can't be there for them, like you should be
 Yo' sins got you thinking God won't forgive
 What if I told you, you could be
 'Cause you thinking that God don't understand but
 God is saying you the one that misunderstood me, uh
 Good girl gone bad, sin deep
 That explains why her spirit is empty
 And if God sent Satan to hell because of sin
 Where you think that he gon' send me?
 I'm tryna get this to you
 Before it's too late to get this to you
 If you got 'em, break these soul ties
 If not then watch your soul die
 Yeah
 Break these soul ties
 'Cause if you don't then your soul dies
 Soul ties got a way of breaking you
 You gotta protect
 You gotta protect yourself
 When you gon' protect yourself
 Why do you keep letting it happen to you and only you?
 Why you always confused?
 We're telling you the truth, but you act like you never heard it
 You know God, right?
 He done warned you already, yeah
 Why you lacking staying ready?
 You know the pain getting heavier, heavier, heavier
 It's been breaking you
 Who you choosing been shaping you?
 Out here acting like the God you know ain't guiding you
 Who you know, who you know, know
 Who gon' ride when the wheels fall off?
 Who gon' talk when the convos get tough?
 Why you going back when they left, 'cause it got tough?
 Why you going back 'cause it's tough, that's tough?
 You gave your whole self, that ain't enough
 God gon' give it, just be patient and still
 Just be patient and still, still
 You can't let them control your emotions
 Soul ties
 A way of bringing death around
 Soul ties
 Gotta way of bringing death around
