[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 accountabilty • cause 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 • cause I'm not making assists you know • trying to pass the rock • I don't live life scared of death • cause 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 • cause 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]
