Trip Lee - Self Examination lyrics
[Trip Lee - Self Examination lyrics]
Yeah you can ride to this
Ay man but while you ridin to it
Listen to the words homie
Yeah we can't just go
Through life chillin man
We gotta stop and examine ourselves
Let me tell you what I'm sayin
Yeah we was born sinners man
Dead in the flesh
Unfamiliar with the Lord's livin man
He bled to the death
But we love our sin instead of Him
We fans of the flesh
If you think I'm lyin man
Put a man to the test
We all full of lies, full of pride
Full of dirty lust
And we put our lives ahead of
God's Word we should trust
We all knew it was a
Dude above who made everything
But we run a way, love our ways
And never gave Him praise
But for some of us He made a
Way up out of this dilemma he sent His Son
And he was strung out for wicked sinners
Now all we gotta do is trust
Upon the righteousness of Christ
And He got something new for us
(What?) , the righteousness of Christ
You may believe it man
But have you trusted in Him yet?
And realized your sinful life will
Thrust you into death?
And that you need Him cause in
The flesh man is fadin
Time for self examination like you was
The Dr and the patient
We gotta look ourselves over
Have we standing with Jehovah
He's the man and He can hold us
You'll be standing as His soldier
It's time for self examination
We need a self examination
It's time for self examination
We need a self examination man
What are lives look like
Cause fo real we should fight
To enjoy lifting Christ
And to shine His good light
It's time for self examination
We need a self examination
It's time for self examination
We need a self examination man
A lot of us claim to be believers
But we slack in our walk
And we goin around everyday without
Our backs to the cross
And when it comes to servin Christ
We standin on the wall
But we say we Christian cause we
Went up for the altar call
That don't mean that we believers
That don't mean we saved from flames
If we ain't workin for Him our faith
Is dead like it say in James
If it ain't no better livin
We the same and steady sinnin
Just know that faith without fruit
Wasn't faith from the beginnin
It's a lot of kids that got
It twisted thinking they saved
But homie they ain't bout tha Fathers
Biz they sleep in they graves
And they gon be real disappointed
Man when they face judgement
And all along they though
That they was saved, but they really wasn't
Sin's disgusting to the Father man
He can barely stand it
And the mark of the believer
Is keeping to His commandments
So if we content up in our sin
Ain't seekin Jesus
We really need to cause we
May not even be believers
Now for some of us we claim to
Be in love with our God
But, if we look around we can
Find that something is odd
And if we really look our love
For the Son isn't thick
Cause we ain't really in love with Christ
We in love with His gifts
Man after you die and you gon
And you go to Heaven
Would you be satisfied if you
Arrived and God wasn't present?
That's a question we should ask
Are we choosin Christ?
Is he just a supplement
Or is He our true delight? Holla at me
See most of the times what happens is
We just goin through life thinkin
That everything is great
Thinkin everything is all good
Not stoppin and lookin, How we doin
Where we stand with our God
See we gotta stop and look to see if
We made a decision to accept Christ
If we really trusted in
Christ and His righteousness
And if we really in love with this God
It's time to examine ourselves
