Intro: This one is for the spiritually mature. If you’re a real Christian, and you want to tackle some real issues; it’s about that time. There’s no need to keep fighting by yourself. The Lord has made a way for us to deal with this thing . .
V1 – You ain’t searchin’ for no MP3’s / You’re searchin’ for a way to be sexual without the threat of catching some kinda disease / So you’re hittin’ up this site, you’re checkin’ out that site / You ain’t hidin’ from nobody ‘cause you surf the web at night / At 4 in the morning, most folks are sleepin’ / Except the ones committing crimes & the ones creepin’ / You’re all on the computer scoopin’ out the JPEG’s / Admiring God’s creation from the head to legs / Getting hot & bothered like “Hey lookie lookie” / Quick to erase the history and delete the cookie / But God’s been knowing you since before you were born / Just like He knows about that unconfessed addiction to porn / So whatcha wanna do? Man, I’m about being real / I ain’t trippin’ on your feelings, trying to get you some healing / And not the sexual kind, no disrespect to Marvin / We’re trying to feed the souls of the ones out there starving
Hook: An evil man is held captive by his sins / They are the ropes that hold him in / Time to get set free and quit living a lie / If you’re a new creature, then it’s time to Draw Nigh / A lot of folks are gettin’ saved but not delivered from things / Tryin’ to win a spiritual battle through natural means / Let Go! It’s time for the old man die / If you’re a new creature, then it’s time to Draw Nigh
V2 – Now when it comes to sex, yep the flesh just be cravin’ it / Plantin’ thoughts like “What’s the benefit in savin’ it?” / And what do you do when you’ve got that urgin’? / The in-crowd don’t kick it with no straight up virgin! / But let me tell you what happens when you aren’t in covenant / And even though I know your flesh is steady lovin’ it / You create soul ties with them girls & them guys / When they look into your eyes, spittin’ game with them lies / So don’t be surprised, with the lows & highs / That’s kinda normal when you let somebody in-between your thighs / And if your lifestyle pleases men / Stop for a minute, peep I Corinthians Chapter 6:9-10 / And while you’re dabblin’ in sexual sin / Don’t kid yourself, when heaven comes you won’t get in / Spiritually joined with folks from your past / You ain’t even free like a person in a full body cast
Hook
V3 – The most controversial part of this song / But I’m about to take it there, so y’all hold on / Some think it takes 2 people to fornicate / But it only takes 1 if you masturbate / Yes Sir, I said it & No, I don’t regret it / ‘Cause the Truth will set you free, but only if you’ll let it / Sinnin’ against your body won’t help your health / Yes it’s fornication, just sex with self / So w\hen you utilize your members for unrighteousness / It’s like you’re walking ‘round in the spirit half-dressed / Gratifying your flesh for personal gain / I don’t care what you say, I ain’t with that man / Now if I’ve offended you, here’s the prescription / Thank God!! ‘cause you can still feel His conviction / If this song ain’t for you, one fist / But if it is, hit me up so I can add your name to my prayer list / And know that if you contact me and ask for prayer / Anything you share with me is gonna stay right here / Know that if you contact me and ask for prayer / Anything you share with me is gonna stay right here
