[Verse 1]
Partner life can be a struggle, it get rough sometimes
So I put my faith in Scripture, not the stuff that I buy
And when I try to take this truth from the Scripture to masses
They say they can't hack this and saying I'm judging like Mathis
I ain't got no problem with cats who say they wanna be happy
But the problem is your search is never ending like habits
Without God, O Lord, why do we settle for less?
Shiny rocks they said was rare so we call it the best
And since your favorite rapper, rapper rocks it then you rock it
Losing you soul, soul, solely so they'll jock it
If there was a treasure that we said was better and we told you where to find it
Would you follow or not even bother and sadly just settle for diamonds
But sadly several will settle
Never inquiring who the Messiah be
Neither the Scripture that He was inspiring
Shunning the Person that shining is requiring
Looking for pension but never retiring
Wanting to shine all of the time
Rocking the ice that you claiming is blinding
It's blinding you, look at the irony

[Verse 2]
I keep, I keep His Word in me, it's like a light to my path
Amid, amongst vipers we coming to light up the Ave
Whether you in Rikers Island or you right in my class
Adding up the sin price, I hope you're liking the math
Trust me dawg, my wrist don't glist with diamonds
So what is the means by which I'm shining?
Okay, you wanna know the whole way?
Lemme tell you what His word say
Lived the perfect life
Paid the purchase price
Gave up His life
Then He rose on the third day
We born in this world into sin
And as soon as we step in it's really a problem
And what are we gonna do about this issue
And who is the one that can solve it
If sin is the cancer and we need to answer
And we need to know what the cure is
The cure is the blood of Jesus
He's the One that can free us
He sure is
Now that's the reason we gleam
The reason we rap, we sing, because Jesus is King
From internal to external like a hard drive
Coz I was saved like data the day the Lord died
[Verse 3]
I'm shinin' all the time but you blind to the fact
Because your life is moving backwards like rewinding this track
Even if I'm wearing hand me downs with Calvin Klein on my slacks
Rocking the ice that I got from the ... that's got you ...
I'm still shining like a light baby
My mind is in the right places
The Bible writes in this
My Savior died in light that He might save us
So it don't matter if your chain hang low
See when you die where will they go?
It's gain the world and lose your soul

[Verse 4]
Man we gotta consider this life is nothing
But a step to get to the King
Look at the people that's chasing the bling
All they pursuing is doing their thing
And what does that bring, more of the pain
Sending you back into chasing them things
Only a cycle, pick up the Bible
Look and just see that it's simple and plain
Yeah it's cool to rock them new shoes
Yeah it's cool to rock them new jeans
Red monkeys, Red Bapes
Don't make it replace the King
If what you buy, what you drive
Stopping you from worshipping God
That's the problem, get resolving
All of it dissolves in the fire
