Chorus: I used to date a girl named, "World." Sis was real glamorous arrayed up in diamonds and pearls. But now I ve got a new best friend Because the world will leave you dry and watch you die in the end. Verse 1: I used to date a girl named, "World." Sis was real glamorous arrayed up in diamonds and pearls. She was the baddest, the phattest, she was established And with her universal status - she had me livin' lavish. She knew about my sinful habits. She used to feed them. She offered me the fruits of lust (and yep) I used to eat them. She took my freedom. Warnings came, I wouldn't heed them. And when I mentioned God she said, "Chill you don t need Him." I second-guessed this but then she pulled out those dresses, tight fittin' ones made by Mercedes and Lexus. Her neck just exploded with the fragrance of passion. The aroma of fame, fortune, and fashion. Snatching' my heart she romanced me, my plans be Lover for life make her, make her my wife, I can't see... ...breaking' up like I can't see me in a - S girl. This is dedicated to my ex-girl. | Repeat Chorus | Verse 2: The lust of the flesh - you bring your best to the city so Now sex is pushed through the radio and video. All was chill we d build and share thrills together She gave cheddar, we stayed close knit like a sweater I gave her letters, secular rap format to better Inform her, "Miss I m on ya, I m down forever." I remarked, "Dear sweetheart let me spark the fire" "I admire the way you supply a brother s desire" The lust of the flesh, you bring your best to the city so Now sex is pushed through the radio and video Then the lust of the eyes You make sure guys look good to the girls and girls show more and more thighs. You re wise, you know the pride of life makes us brag. We're gassed on who we are, what we do and what we have. But tragically thoughts of loneliness be attackin' me. You know how that can be so you offer me crack and weed. Distractin' me from reality with pleasure. Giving me treasure lettin' me indulge without measure. Your hands out you want my soul in it plus the mastery. Then you ll be mine with no limit just like Master P. You captured me, I thought you were all I needed Until I found a Bible and decided to read it. I never could think that you could have any competition 'til sweated the Bible's Author and it's Editor. You fretted to hear of the One that I met at the Appointed time, he kept coming' after me like a creditor. A date, we set it up, and the He showed me His nail prints. Then the eternal scale and your riches started palin Now I know why my girl dissed Him. Because the World pissed Him off and now he hates the whole world system. | Repeat Chorus | Verse 3: In your heart I would hope you d vote Messiah for President. Cause life s too up and down like a dieters measurement. It's evident the side of God is unattractive Because the world diamonds and the pearl have got you captured. If their love is greater you can have them But who died so new lives can come to the son s of Adam So don t miss the crucial nature of the crucifixion With diction I ll stress this one If Jesus Christ wasn t nailed to The Cross Movement If there was no blood lost we d have to pay our own cost Who can pay for their own sins Next to God grown men become little girls with no ends Daily my mind gets revamped And on the Lord there s more concentration than a camp God stamps His divine approval On the One who puts God the Son in the forefront on the usual Fools will bow down to a dead president And turn around and say there s no God despite the evidence I recommend we prepare for the reckoning He didn t have to go out on a limb. | Repeat Chorus |
