Intro:
They push me to a place I really do consider
To try the lifestyle I've been told to stay clear of
I fall into the lies that they whisper in my brain
It's like a shovel diggin' dirt preparin' my grave

Verse 1:

I'll pay $200 for the freshest pair of J's
And toss a buck more to have my neck wrapped in chains
Toss a couple hundred more so everyone can drink tonight
Snag a couple ladies up so I won't be alone tonight

When the son rises (when the son rises) I hang my head
Last night I felt so alive now I'm feeling dead
Ladies I don't even love are layin' in my bed
Smoke circles in my chest, smell of weed on my breathe

So I try to take a shower but I doesn't clean my soul
Swear that I'm a player but the truth I'm under their control
Who? Them demons. Greed and lust they be schemin'
At first their presence felt so good but now it got me screamin'

Lookin' in the mirror and I'm hatin' what I see
Was happy in the beginning but now it's torcherin' me
For the first time in a while I open the holy bible
Start to cry on my knees with my head on the tiles

Dialogue:
I don't understand I have everything. Money, cars, girls, everything I have it all! God are you really what I need in the end? Are you? Than what is everything else?

Hook: (2x)
Meaningless
Everything is meaningless
No matter what I buy or gain or earn or rent
Can someone tell me what the meaning is huh?
Is it all in vain? Fancy cars? shades and chains?
It all gets old eventually
Broken, rusty, ruined, stained

Verse 2:

Try to say the prayer I heard on resurrection day
When the Pastor made a calling and I just made an escape
My mama's prayin' for me and my daddy's prayin' too
That I can change my ways before I meet the one and only you

I tried before (I tried before) but I dropped the ball
I traded Friday nights of worship for some drunk nights in a hall
If I wasn't happy I just drank and smoke some more
Music pumpin' in my hear so I can't hear myself think anymore

Not caring for the fact that this is someones baby daughter
She's dumb enough to believe my lies I didn't care, why bother?
The liquor got me laughin' at something ain't even funny
Just jumped another man for nothing we ain't take his money

I lift my head off the floor tears falling down my face
Praying to the Father "I don't wanna be the same"
I close my eyes (I close my eyes) and I to Elohim
And when I opened them, thank you God it was just a dream

Dialogue:
Father forgive me. Forgive me for finding joy in things that don't matter, things that are in vain. Money, cars, jewels...it's all temporary but your love is forever

Hook: (2x)
Meaningless
Everything is meaningless
No matter what I buy or gain or earn or rent
Can someone tell me what the meaning is huh?
Is it all in vain? Fancy cars? shades and chains?
It all gets old eventually
Broken, rusty, ruined, stained

Dialogue:
Now I'm not saying that it's wrong to have these things. It's not wrong to have a beautiful home or a lot of money or cars or any of that but when those things are center of our lives and not Jesus, it leads to nothing but destruction. Money gets spent, cars get rusty, young lovers get old but the love of God is forever. Everything else is meaningless, meaningless a chasing of the wind
