believin’ stephen – give it up lyrics
[verse 1]
how we gonna kick god off of the throne?
when he’s the one who made the throne and he made it alone
he ain’t need no help, he made all things by himself
the only true god, there is n-body else (that’s right!)
we wish we were god and we crave the control
until we’re gray and we’re old but we’re incapable bols
if we had it our way, man, our way it would fold
because we’re blatantly fools, but still he’s saving our souls
think we’d be doing it better because we’re dudes who are clever?
go try for one day to be ruling the weather
and maneuver endeavors much better than god
man, we’d fail so hard ’cause we’re wretched and frauds
and whatever our cause our best efforts are flawed
man, we all fall short of his measuring rod
(brindle, is that what you’re rappin’ again?)
yeah i gotta speak up, it keeps on happenin’ again
(what you mean?) god’s fed up from our arrogance
guess we inherit this, from our parents it’s
still no excuse for our carelessness
it’s in americans in all heritage
it’s obvious we are some narcissists
and god is dissed, yo we are not convinced
of his plots and twists, we are idolatrous
(so what now?) we need to repent and be washed and rinsed
[hook]
so we die to our pride and we give it up
he’s why we’re alive so we give it up
all props go to christ so we give it up
god is our delight so we give it up
[x2]
[verse 2]
you think i’m only putting others on blast?
then you got it all wrong, my sin’s disgusting and trash
’cause my l-sting is wack and plus my covetous acts
put christ on the cross where he suffered the wrath
and i haven’t denied that i battle with pride
’cause i know how it feels when you snap on a rhyme
when your rapping is tight and the track it is fly
and you’re askin’ for shine, but the flesh has to die
but even if i don’t boast in a song
or say i’m the best when i’m flowing along
inwardly i can be proud and i know that it’s wrong
can’t be self-reliant and then grow to be strong
our boasting’s not good, yeah, be deadin’ that stuff
did you not know a little leaven, leavens the lump? (the whole thing)
can’t brag of our faith, can’t brag of our deeds
our daddy is great and he happens to be
the only true god who we owe our dependence
collapse to our knees and go show some repentance
in chh, how is it accepted?
but when i look in scriptures it is wicked and wretched
you’re boasting a lot but nah, you can’t afford to
be humble or god will do it for you
you’re boasting a lot but nah, you can’t afford to
be humble or god will do it for you
[hook]
so we die to our pride and we give it up
he’s why we’re alive so we give it up
all props go to christ so we give it up
god is our delight so we give it up
[x2]
[verse 3]
i don’t really see this as up for debate
but when you boastin’ in self, you ain’t trusting with faith
nah, you trusting in you and trusting ya crew
but under the sun we know nothing is new
we are glory thieves and it’s something we do
if we look in the past we see others did too
we’ve been glory thieves since adam and eve
cain k!lled abel, he was mad as can be
at the tower of babel, cats wanted to reach
the height of god’s glory, straight blasphemy
depraved hearts and we’re carrying grudges
our rulers been evil and i’m sharing from judges
they did was right in their own eyes
but that led to their plight and their own demise
we’ll look at herod plus nebuchadnezzar
and see what happens to men who are clever
if there was one who had reason to boast
it was jesus, but go peep what he spoke
controller of winds and the seas and the boats
god in the flesh but what i’m reading the most
he ain’t boast in himself but did boast in the father
he came as a lamb that was broken and slaughtered
truly defining the meaning of humble
he gave up his life for those evil who stumble!
[hook – outro]
so we die to our pride and we give it up
he’s why we’re alive so we give it up
all props go to christ so we give it up
god is our delight so we give it up
we ain’t givin up, but we give it up
we ain’t giving up, but we give it up
yea our own glory man we give it up
yea we give it up, and we lift him up
