joseph goulding - strapped lyrics
[verse 1: joseph goulding]
ay!
every day i gotta put on the armor of god got me strapped it’s a war within
i gotta die to myself boy i’m k!llin my flesh and i’m fightin temptation for me to sin
boy i’m walkin by faith and not walkin by sight
i got god on my side, i can only win
risin up to new heights, ayo we takin flight
its a whole lotta light that we takin in
got my bible on me boy i’m strapped up
i’m using my gift as a rapper
had some girls hit me up in my dm’s tryna get me to sin so i ghost em like casper
devils a liar, bro he’s just a capper
i promise ya he’s not a factor
takin every thought into capture
if you tryna subtract from the word of god
i promise you that it ain’t gonna add up
there’s a whole lotta snakes hear em rattlin
a whole lotta demons i’m battlin
and a whole lotta wins that i’m tallyin
yo i move with the army we rallyin
noah mathews my brother from cali man
demons tryna drag me through the valleys man
but i’m fearing no evil that’s how we stand
yeah that’s how we stand
yeah, no weapon formed against me will ever prosper
if there’s confusion, then god ain’t the author
i turned down the devil he had nothing to offer
gold in my name i won’t settle for copper
i don’t listen to haters, they’re nothing but scoffers
i’m ready for war i’m like get to the choppa
and if god is for us then nothing can stop us
yeah, nothing can get in our way
moving these mountains cuz we got the faith
god’s timing is perfect yeah he’s never late
i’m working on patience when i gotta wait
ain’t gettin complacent just wanna obey
i can’t have time wasted, i work every day
i trust in god’s planning so i’ll be okay
[verse 2: noah mathews]
okay, okay
it’ll all be okay, cause i’m walking by faith
came to body the game
circumventing temptation, can’t draw me away
i know half of the mainstream is copy and paste
all the 360 contracts that cost what you make
watch the label extortion turn artists to slaves
it’s ironic they’re living to cop a new chain
i’m a vision ascending with god as the aim
we live in a prison, a failed system
pseudo+christians invested in h+ll’s visions
ego+tainted residual self+image
never trust any figures who sell wisdom
false prophets and scandal vultures of the cancel culture
scrutinizing flaws in this expansive sculpture
and they’ll label god as the demanding culprit
guilty conscience by sin for this damaged structure
the contradiction is the higher tao
all morality to which desire’s bound
the responsibilities possessed by creation inherently built+in and wired down
seeded scriptures were written on man, not a social construct to control all the masses
found hope in each passage, my soul dropped the baggage
i left my old sight on the road to damascus
fulfilled by kenosis and holy revelations
i’ve seen the purest faces spill the devil’s statements now i’m well acquainted with the deceit behind every veil that’s tainted
every sh+ll that’s vacant
all the oppositions not a competition
they in coffins wishing we could swap positions
told em god’s precision been unlocking missions
got divine energy in my compositions
had to pop off for the joseph record
that’s my brother out in cali, he a focused legend
made the haters all offended they can hold resentment
integrity is living consistent with no pretending
repentance made us sanctified in his holy presence
know the ropes and mission, that’s my sole intention
broke the system, full surrender to my lord in heaven
tore the head of the snake with its coursing venom
beat the foes to finish, whole invested
lucifer tried to have my hope diminished
salvation secured now my souls infinite
faith, not sight, that’s the only road to riches
opps limited to living how their roles permit em
been in my element, i’m strapping up to fold contenders
dark nights, but my heart is never sold if tempted
cast pain to the cross, all my woes repented
now i’m gone
yeah
