[Verse 1: Datin]
Why don't it end?
I've been caught up in the cycle of sin
Either I'm feeling prideful within or I'm going through my phone
Depends on lust or if I go repent
'Cause I'm feelin' like I'm so condemned
But after the guilt fades away, right back to it, I fold again
No cap, homie I won't pretend
I've been livin' my life so unhinged
Tryna do it on my own
But then I fold 'cause I don't depend on God
But a problem that is too big for me is still micro to Him
So I know if I call upon His name He can put me on fight mode to win
Real talk, I've been in this
Over this, time to climb out
It's Jesus' name that I shout from my mouth
And if I have to I'll go extrеme like I'll cut my hand off and gouge my еye out
Read His word, fast and prayers
Don't masquerade, I throw the mask away and expose my sin to my closest friends then I practice what pastor has to say
I hear His council, I won't reject it
The prayers of the righteous are so effective
So I call my bros up and ask for prayer when I lack self-control and I'm over tactic
Cravings of the flesh feel like a fire blazin' in my chest
But I fight back with all I got 'cause the Word said the wage of sin is death
My God, that's a step from faith, I'll make a declaration
My Bible will not be a decoration
Sittin' there open on the dresser waitin' to be read as I go through this deprivation
I will not give in so easily to these evil deeds 'cause tripled D is free from the chains of bondage and the grips of Satan
If I resist I know that he will flee, let's go
[Chorus: Datin]
The devil prowls like a lion
And the flesh is feelin' defiant
And I'm weak within, he tempts me to sin but I resist and deny him
I will not (I will not) give in to wicked desires
There's victory when I hit my knees, I feel the Spirit liftin' me higher
I will not (I will not) I won't allow this shame of mine now
He's tellin' me to give in by I will not
(I will not) I'm fighting back with all of my mind with the Spirit as my guide (Huh)
[Verse 2: Bryann T]
Scum of the earth, my heart was colder than Antarctica
Concede in sin, my taste for gin create an arsenal
Diabolical prodigal from bitter hearts
It's remarkable how partakers of wickedness leave the dark
They purge this evil from me, never take my Jesus from me
I was Barabbas, filled with madness, He brought freedom for me
Stripped naked, beaten, spit on with ridicule
Humiliated, He died the death of a criminal
The middle cross was made for me between them thieves
Curious and intrigued with greed and sin was my disease
Yeah, He freed me from captivity, no more illegal activity
Now my mission is a soul in His ministry
You can keep your negativity, hater
This persecution is temporary
In Jesus, yes our victory's greater
I declare you are redeemed, I declare you are forgiven
You're loved deeply by the Father
You're contagious with conviction
You are purchased for purpose, a preparation so perfect
If you're patient through the process you'll be ready for service
Every person in my circle got God's mercy in my circle
Ain't no cursin' in my circle, ain't no serpents in my circle
When you're in my environment it's an atmosphere we set for you
And even when I come to yours I plan to set the temperature
When you're in my environment it's an atmosphere we set for you
And even when we come to yours we plan to set your temperature
[Chorus: Datin]
Devil prowls like a lion
And the flesh is feelin' defiant
And I'm weak within, he tempts me to sin but I resist and deny him
I will not (I will not) give in to wicked desires
There's victory when I hit my knees, I feel the Spirit liftin' me higher
I will not (I will not) I won't allow this shame of mine now
He's tellin' me to give in by I will not
(I will not) I'm fighting back with all of my mind with the Spirit as my guide (Huh)
