New Creation

[Intro] 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 [Verse 1] 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 [Hook] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Hook] 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
