[Verse 1: Eshon Burgundy]
There's a war going on inside
Just to name a couple, I battled with p**n and pride
And a persistent struggle, a reoccurring huddle
A prayer meeting with me and the Holy Spirit
Feeling free but know I'm nowhere near it
But thank God for His conviction
The awful part of me that may lead others to suspicion
It called me into question, I confessed my addiction
Know it's a lethal weapon, made compromise the mission
Being proselytized from this humanistic system
You think about d**h and tell me just what you envision
You think about crack and how it kept on calling Pookie
Feel that about sin, feel like it's always tryna suit me
But I help him work his aim to make sure he doesn't miss
I sell him the guns, let him borrow the clips
I set myself up sometimes just so I repent
Keep walking with me Jesus, You know I need Your strength
O Lord!
[Verse 2: Shaati]
To be honest, many nights I've gotten bored
I k**ed the beats of wildebeasts a million times before
I seal the wound, as soon it heals, it reels me in a spool
I lay it down, I'm praying now for God to take it soon
I seem to replay it, but the records will wreck the message
I'm praying for brighter days, but I can see the storm
My essence fall to a [?], talking only blessings
But never address this menage, too long this mirage
Been chilling over my eyesight, wonder how Stevie feel
When this mirror will give me chills
'Cause all I can see is twilight
No reflection, this civil war I'm bound to question
Can I k** the lust that I love? Enough of this guessing!
I'm in a lie like Levi, I guess it's in my genes
I've inherited his spirit is exactly what I mean
It's time to k** the flesh like a [sniper's on with the quest
What past is the issue?] future sense
But I'm focused on His presence
[Hook: S.O.]
Every day I wake, there's a war on
I won't be the one that it ends though
The one true God I'ma call on
'Cause He the only one that can save souls
Yeah, brother I know
Are you ready to go?
So with this war going on, we gon' fight 'til the day that we die
[Verse 3: Stephen the Levite]
I wasn't always saved, I was once depraved
And a slave to my nature my way to early grave
Had been paved generations before me, my fore fathers' seed
Carried the lost gene causing me to be formed evil
But even before the tree in the garden
Was seen as a cause of beef the Lord and His seed had a scheme to pardon
Redeem the fallen, release the called from the demons' claws and
Free the lost with the peace of the Father in the peeps of promise
But being honest I was pacifist people-pleaser
A punk of a peace-keeper, a rug under feet & sneakers
Pa**ive aggressive, suppressing wrath and neglecting addressing acts of offence never getting mad, it just seeps deeper
The Chief Jesus, animosity's remedy
At the cross sent to end the beef, and abolish offences we
As the lost did in enmity with the Father, his enemies in foreknowledge his kin-to-be, getting dropped from his list of thieves
But in between then and me gettin' clean, s**in' hit the screen
A triple X'in' fiend for the s** that you get in dreams
And even since redeemed I can live in it get deceived and seems that repentance flees when I seek Him and hit my knees
But victory is a promise, and He's accomplished it in his slaughter for all my deeds in the dark when my thoughts are weak
Tempted to fall indeed but I'm walkin' and on my feet, I don't jog like I'm not competing, the job is an awesome feat
[Hook: S.O.]
