I'm In It To Win It

I was born outta wedlock

But that don’t make me an abomination

In fact I’m one of God’s greatest creations

Made in his perfect image

Fearfully and wonderfully created

I’m “5’5 with brown eyes, smile like the sunrise”

(I know ya’ll remember the group City High)

Thin waist, thick thighs…inexpensive taste

Cuz ma clothes don’t define me

N you trying to find words to describe me, would surely be a waste

Of your time and energy, so forget me

Cuz that ain’t what this is about

So just sit back and let ma lyrics hit your membrane like tidal waves, its insane

Na its sick so admit me, or betta yet commit me cuz I’m committed to this life to win

You prolly thought I was gon say committed to a life of sin

But this a winners game and if you sinning you sure ain’t winning

And I don’t play the game unless if in the end I’ll win

And I always do cuz I know betta than to follow you

No telling where you’ll lead me

Or what kind of lies you’ll try n feed me

And I ain’t trying to starve

So I’ll stay full on his word

Cuz it’s the truth and I don’t need any proof

He’s done it before and I’m positive he’ll do it again

Following Christ can deliver you from sin…bondage…depression…he’ll even tha recession

Ma pockets stay fat, you can believe that

(Hmm…I see we have some doubters)

Don’t believe me, he said it in is word “No weapon formed against me shall prosper”

You can find that in Isaiah chapter 54, verse 17

And please don’t get it twisted, I’m not tryna stand up here and preach to you, like I’m “Holier than thou” cuz I’m on the same path, I’m just tryna do the right thing

I’m walking the same pace, running the same race, trying my best not to lose my place

I’m on a mission to save lives

I’m heaven sent, so none of this should be a surprise

I know sometimes its get hard out here

But if you give your life to Christ, you’ll have nothing to fear

Hell, I’m only 22, college grad, no kids, stable job

But I’m out here struggling just like the rest of ya’ll

But I keep on pushin, keeping ma faith strong

Living my life for God, I will never go wrong

This is a public announcement and I’m trying to ma best to announce it

“Come to me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28)

Trust, I put his word to the test.

Tha Virtuous One™
