| Man I wanna tell ya’ll something, Man.
|
| Man I’m not gonna let these material thing’s, get in my way, ya’ll.
|
| I’m trying to get somewhere.
|
| I’m trying to get somewhere,
|
| Thats real and pure and true and eternal.
|
| Father God, I am clay in your hands,
|
| Help me to stay that way through all life’s demands,
|
| 'Cause they chip and they nag and they pull at me,
|
| And every little thing I make up my mind to be,
|
| Like I’m gonna be a daddy whose in the mix,
|
| And I’m gonna be a husband who stays legit,
|
| And I pray that I’m an artist who rises above,
|
| The road that is wide and filled with self love,
|
| Everything that I see draws me,
|
| Though it’s only in You that I can truly see that
|
| its a feast for the eyes- a low blow to purpose.
|
| And I’m a little kid at a three ring circus.
|
| I don’t want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
|
| Don’t wanna walk away, let me hear the people say.
|
| I don’t want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
|
| Don’t wanna walk away, let me hear the people say.
|
| (Mr. Franklin, Step up to the mic sir)
|
| The paparazzi flashes, and that they think that it’s you,
|
| But they don’t know that who you are is not what you do,
|
| True, we get it twisted when we peak at the charts,
|
| Yo before we part from the start,
|
| Where’s your heart?
|
| You a pimp, hustler?
|
| Tell me what’s your title,
|
| America has no more stars, now we call them idols,
|
| You sit idle, While we teach prosperity,
|
| The first thing to prosper should be inside of me.
|
| We’re free…
|
| Not because of 22's on the range,
|
| But Christ came in range, we said yes now we changed,
|
| Not the same, even though I made a fall,
|
| Since I got that call, no more Saul, now I’m Paul.
|
| (YEP!)
|
| I don’t want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
|
| Don’t wanna walk away, let me hear the people say.
|
| I don’t want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
|
| Don’t wanna walk away, let me hear the people say.
|
| Don’t wanna walk away,
|
| Don’t wanna walk away
|
| How do I sense the tide that’s rising?
|
| De-sensitizing me from living in light of eternity,
|
| How do I sense the tide that’s rising?
|
| It’s hypnotizing me from living in light of eternity,
|
| How do I sense the tide that’s rising?
|
| De-sensitizing me from living in light of eternity.
|
| (Lord what we gon do, We're relying on you,
|
| all eyes are on you Lord,
|
| all eyes are on you, all eyes are on you Jesus.)
|
| I don’t want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
|
| Don’t wanna walk away, let me hear the people say.
|
| (Don't let me lose my soul, my soul.)
|
| I don’t want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
|
| (This is my honesty, Father, won’t you cover me.)
|
| I don’t want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
|
| (Don't wanna walk away, and all those people say)
|
| I don’t want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
|
| (Don't wanna lose, I don’t wanna lose my soul.)
|
| Lord forgive us when we get consumed by the things of this world,
|
| That fight for our love, and our passion,
|
| As our eyes are open wide and on you.
|
| Grant us the privilege of your world view,
|
| And may your kingdom be, what wakes us up, and lays us down.
|
| (Hallelujah, Don’t wanna lose our soul,
|
| No, Don’t wanna lose my soul.)
|
| Hey excuse me,
|
| I’m looking or the after party,
|
| Toby,
|
| Haha, yeah, last door on the left, you’ll hear it.
|
| Thanks,
|
| No problem.

|
| I don’t wanna lose my soul,
|
| No, no, no.

| Don’t let me, don’t let me, lose my soul,
|
| I don’t wanna walk away,
|
| Don’t let me walk away,
|
| Na na na na no,
|
| Don’t let me lose, my soul,
|
| I’m never gonna walk away. |
