Lecrae
Trust Myself
[Intro: Lecrae]
Man, it's kinda' crazy man
I usually blame it on problems
And everything else except for our own flesh
It's crazy
Sometimes I don't think we know what we up against
You know?
Paul said to buffer this body daily
I feel that

[Verse 1: Lecrae]
Look at me I'm just so impressed with my self
My sin is showing His face like lets go for self
Wake up in the morning like "man I'm still in it"
Look outside and yep the world still spinning
The world still sinning bright lights at night
With fast living, women, money, and fights for life
Yeah I know I'm free in Christ the Roman strip
But my flesh kinda comes to give Paul a slip
Plus I got enough struggles I don't need no assistance
That's why I tell temptation to keep a distance
My sin nature be like "I don't care"
That's when I play Real Talk "I don't do that there'"
Yeah if my mind just don't get the picture
Ur boy leans back and meditate on the scripture
Like Romans 12, Galatians 5, or Ephesians 2
Are made alive homie if the truth hurts cool with me
I ain't tryna let sin make a fool of me
Never see me iced out full of jewelry
Too scared of what my pride might do to me
[Chorus]
I really don't trust myself
My flesh might crush myself
My pride my lust my wealth
Thank God for Christ my help x2

[Chorus]
I really don't trust myself
My flesh might crush myself
My pride my lust my wealth
Thank God for Christ my help

[Verse 2: Lecrae]
I remember 1999 I thought I was doing fine
A picture of perfect health
I just got saved but I'm bout to get played
Cause I was trusting in myself
I jumped in the car with the crew saying that I wouldn't do
What I used to for fun but now here temptation comes
A yo dawg pass that coke and rum...
I'm real scared of myself dawg I ain't lying
(Just me against the world) nope I ain't buying
Moses had Aaron and Hur, Joshua, Caleb
Jesus rolled with twelve Jonathan had David
So what I look like trusting my flesh?
On mine own ending up in my mess
My sin my pride a why the Lord make me His bride?
[Chorus]
I really don't trust myself
My flesh might crush myself
My pride my lust my wealth
Thank God for Christ my help x2
I said I don't trust

[Chorus]
I really don't trust myself
My flesh might crush myself
My pride my lust my wealth
Thank God for Christ my help

[Verse 3: Lecrae]
I said I don't trust myself, but that's no excuse
To be Wildin' out like sin ain't crucial
Only is corrupt for the abuse of lust
That's why I renew my mind in the Truth I trust
I'm a child of the King all eyes on Christ
So submit to the Lord resist the vice
Even though I know I'm redeemed and saved
I ain't trying to play around with the worldly ways
We are no longer slaves to sin
We believe in Him well and now the Spirit stays within
We struggle well we playing the wind we ain't playing with sin
We don't wanna name the numbers of men
And sisters I wish the world could all see
The world through the lens of Psalm 73
I don't trust me, but I do trust the God who's righteousness can renew us clean
[Chorus]
I really don't trust myself
My flesh might crush myself
My pride my lust my wealth
Thank God for Christ my help

[Chorus]
I really don't trust myself
My flesh might crush myself
My pride my lust my wealth
Thank God for Christ my help
