[Intro:SOC]
I dedicate this here to that lady who things she has to get approval from a man; to that brother who thinks he's got to get money. You know what I mean? This is for you …
[Verse 1:SOC]
Coach bag with them pumps on
Cover up for this life getting dumped on
Quietly you're thinking what's wrong
Since he don't register better use a touch tone
Brothers saying, "All that modesty you just gone
Why you ain't out? You always rush home
You too soft spoken - get your cuss on!”
Life's different when you're leaving out your front door
Josh 24 and 15, work with it
He shouldn't care if you're CEO or work dishes
Status don't matter - think so i term ignant
Not about what's permissible but what's permitted
Don't chase a man; let the Lord get him
Focus on your Father - know your worth isn't
Defined by him - on your own yeah it's worth living
Two competing hearts can't converge in Him
[Hook:Rolanda Brooks]
I don't need man's fame
Don't need world acclaim
All I need is Christ
In Him is true life
[Verse 2:SOC]
They say money power respect; it's the key to life
Just watch your local news, you see the plight
Need more than them contacts to see upright
More than taking' off them shades to see the light
Biblical literacy - more than read and write
No ability - not ours. He breathes us life
Literally, the answer's Jesus Christ
And that's no matter what they treat us like
Yeah, and I know this
Think they run the show – POTUS
Throwing up self-praise - we are so sick
That go for Jay-Z, John, Jane or Joe Smith
Can't listen to a record without "cold wrist"
Can't see a video without at least 4 chicks
Trying to get money - we try to grow pimps?
It's crazy how humility make no sense
Most of the world is broke - no cents
I'm talking more than 80 percent– four fifths
I'm talking less than 80 pounds - no pence
Pockets empty – yeah I'm talking no lent
It all start with acknowledging we're hopeless
The first step is seeing what hope is
Inspired by what the world has to cope with
I'm praise the name of Christ and I'm focused
