Andy Mineo - New Creation lyrics

Yeah, epic i, I'm a new creation
Homie, I don't live the life I used to life
So all of my people in the 'Cuse
Town who used to know me
I bet they don't know me now

To all my love and loyalty brothers
I've seen you from the beginnin' and
What became of each other
I sit and think about the times
In the studio layin' rhymes
I was workin' the boards
Makin' dough on the grind
And then all of a sudden I
Went and left it behind
Still to this day, people callin'
Me askin' me, "Why
Like how could you leave all that money?
It must be something to change your mind
What kinda treasure you find?" i'm like
The Holy Spirit was convictin' my sin
And even though I was just runnin' the
Sessions I was connected in it
Usin' my gifts and my talents
To God givin' me the mix iniquity
The music that promotes wickedness
I'm not tryna get slick with this
I'm just sayin' that most of the kids
Spittin' about the women and hittin' chicks
Was wearin' Jesus pieces
Callin' themselves Christians
Homie, what some bonafide hypocrites
I don't gotta go deeper because
You know your songs
And I don't gotta ask your moms
'cause you know you wrong
And I ain't tryna bash you, rather ask you
Come and follow Jesus with me
Deny the fast route
How much longer will my city
Defy the holy God
And give praise with they lips
And never they lives
'Cause they want the money
Women and all the pride
But don't ride for somethin' they can
Take with 'em after they die

I, I'm a new creation
Homie, I don't live the life I used to life
So all of my people in the 'Cuse
Town who used to know me
I bet they don't know me now
It ain't the same Andy
The sin I once used to love now I hate
Full of mistakes
But the cross done changed my ways
Since I repented
Turned from sin and started livin' by faith

I came out nine pounds, three ounces
I was a 80s baby sinner from the womb
Shoulda called me a Haiti's baby
I was paper chasin' like Kanye
Thought I could buy my way to heaven
Not dependin' on that grace, amazin'
People told me water was sweet
Had to taste it from myself
Or else I ain't had a chance of changin'
And while I was still sinnin'
God loved me so much that He pinned His son
To the cross so I could be forgiven
He became my wrath substitute
That's why it's Jesus over
Hip-Hop, do the math, love the truth
I gotta new set of eyes
The world's behind me, yo
The cross before me
Now I view my prize, tryna subdue my pride
Live by the pwoer of the Holy Spirit
Givin' me discernment not to peep it lurkin'
The gift and the curse is I'm a people person
Scandalous women tryna get it while
They see me churchin'
I see 'em comin' but my
Natural man keep on flirtin'
When I really should be runnin'
Like the pizza burnin'
Puttin' my beats with sermon so
I defeat the serpent
'Cause if my life don't worship
Then it defeats the purpose

I, I'm a new creation
Homie, I don't live the life I used to life
So all of my people in the 'Cuse
Town who used to know me
I bet they don't know me now
It ain't the same Andy
The sin I once used to love now I hate
Full of mistakes
But the cross done changed my ways
Since I repented
Turned from sin and started livin' by faith
