Nonsense

Guilt and doubt foolished you, I was told some nonsense
(I was told some nonsense)
(I was told some nonsense)
Guilt and doubt foolished you, I was told some nonsense
(I was told some nonsense)

That's totally crazy how God makes us babies and then gives us souls
Then we enter into this world, the sinning then takes control
Then it molds us through niche block races and mama's hands
Like pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, make us mad

I remember as a young boy chillin' in the projects
So many crazy things I seen I couldn't even process
When you see them dope boys, you just bank them blues is cool
Selling work and skipping school
Confused like a rubix cube

Something deep inside of you (is captured by the nonsense)
Club hoppin', pistol poppin', bodies droppin' (violence)
Ever noticed nobody ever taught you how to do wrong?
It's just the way that we're prone to pick up all on our own

And I know I ain't alone 'cause dirty we all the same, same
Momma and daddy, Adam and Eve as they're named
And even though you and I may not be from the same city
I guarantee it's a fact, you have this in common with me like

Guilt and doubt foolished you, I was told some nonsense
(I was told some nonsense)
(I was told some nonsense)
Guilt and doubt foolished you, I was told some nonsense
(I was told some nonsense)

That's what you start of as a youngun doing what they say is tight
In the schools, kickin' and fights, in the hood stealin' bikes
Then they tell you that it's cool
"Everybody's smokin' weed, sleeping 'round like merry-go"
Probably got you growing trees

Then you get a little older, they say, "Let's go hit the club"
Now you take a little drink, looking for a stronger drug
There's somebody come up pregnant, you ain't planned parenthood
Now you're sitting thinking, "Should I hit a Planned Parenthood?"

Then you dive a little deeper in the culture, in her gist
"You don't need to read that Bible 'cause that God He don't exist
You don't need to trust in Jesus, because He was just a man
Please don't listen to them Christians, they have no clue what they're saying"

Now you say you hate religion 'cause you just wanna be free
Say, "I'ma do what makes me happy and whatever pleases me
And whatever pleases me is exactly what I'ma do"
I was raptured, I was captured in that state of mind too, but I was

Guilt and doubt foolished you, I was told some nonsense
(I was told some nonsense)

Guilt and doubt foolished you, I was told some nonsense

But now I love the Father so much
I love the Son so much, the Holy Spirit so much
That I don't wanna turn away so when the world try to clutch
When my sin try to clutch, when my flesh try to clutch
Then I must turn away

I don't wanna break his heart with my lust and my pride
I don't wanna break his heart 'cause I trust in my God
And I count it all as loss just so I can know Him
Paid and died for my sins so I can't live for them

And I can't live for you and I can't live for me
See I'm hidden in Christ, like playing hide and go seek
I was dead in my sin, but God made me alive
Together with Christ Jesus Ephesians 2 verse 5

I'm seated in heavenly places, by His grace I've been saved
I refuse to dig a ditch, go and lay back in my grave
I've been captured by His beauty, I pursue Him super hard
Not no comfort, power, money, pleasure, not a stupid car
I'm not

Guilt and doubt foolished you, I was told some nonsense
(I was told some nonsense)
(I was told some nonsense)
Guilt and doubt foolished you, I was told some nonsense
(I was told some nonsense)
(I was told some nonsense) let's go

Yeah man, I know how it is bro (I was told some nonsense)
We've been captured by sin (I was told some nonsense)
But now we need to be captured again (I was told some nonsense)
By God's holiness man, yeah (I was told some nonsense)
