[Musical introduction,record scratching]
Rollin' wit' faith, on God's path, that's the mission
Spittin' scripture, gainin' wisdom and precision
Stayin' righteous, dodgin' the devil's snare
But that snake's lurkin', plantin' seeds of despair
He ain't always creepin', he's posted right before your eyes
World's a mirage, illusions in disguise
Bling and the glam, got you caught in a stare
Whisper sweet nothin's, a life beyond compare
Chasin' that paper, a fool's golden chase
Trapped in the game, a smile on your face
But underneath the surface, danger takes its toll
Lost in the maze, your soul ain't yours to hold
Yo, all that glitters ain't gold, gotta guard your soul
Devil's a trickster, tryna take control
Word is bond, God's word is the weapon, make that devil unfold
He tryna ice us, distract us, lead us astray
But wit' Christ ridin' shotgun, we gon' overcome any day
Don't get caught slippin', that's how the story goes
Keep the faith close, G, let your spirit expose
[Musical breakdown, ayo Kid Jazz,record scratching]
He flashin' the limelight, the roar of the crowd
Promises of stacks, whisperin' slick and loud
Danglin' the keys to the kingdom, a life of ease
But it's a gilded cage, homie, designed to appease
He twistin' your wants, playin' your heartstrings
Offers forbidden fruit, a love that takes wing
But it's a short high, a venomous sting
He whispers in your ear, "Time is on your side"
Jackin' precious moments, where your spirit should reside
Without God's armor, we're easy prey, you see
This is his game, his hustle, eternally
Divide and conquer, that's his wicked game
Distract, deceive, devour, all in the devil's name
[Musical Breakdown quick]
Look in the mirror, see the doubt in my eyes
World's a siren, singin' sweet lullabies
Temptation whispers, promises a thrill
But I peep the truth, the danger, the chill
Gotta fight the urge, resist the wicked call
Stand tall in my faith, refuse to fall
This war's been poppin' since the dawn of man
From Eden's garden to this promised land
The same deceiver, spittin' the same old lies
But wit' God's armor, we gon' rise
Yo, all that glitters ain't gold, gotta guard your soul
Devil's a trickster, tryna take control
Word is bond, God's word is the weapon, make that devil unfold
He tryna ice us, distract us, lead us astray
But wit' Christ ridin' shotgun, we gon' overcome any day
Don't get caught slippin', that's how the story goes
Keep the faith close, G, let your spirit expose
[Musical Breakdown ]
Don't let the glitter blind you, don't let the darkness win
Keep your heart pure, G, let the light within
Shine bright, stand strong, hold your head up high
With God as your guide, you'll reach the sky
He'll lead you through the struggle, He'll lift you when you fall
Just hold on tight, He'll answer your call
His love is your compass, His word is your map
Follow His path, and never turn back.
