The Lord had to humble me, help me to remember that

The people only come to hear a word from Him and not me

Gotta let this flesh die, started to get mesmerized

All of the applause made me feel good, can't lie

Started to forget why I was even given this

Battle on the inside, less Him, more I

Sin that I struggle in, everyday get troublin'

And it gets to doublin' when I'm standin' on the stage

Attacks of all sorts, all different types of thoughts

Start floodin' in my mind, I pray I don't forget the lyrics

I wanna praise God but my flesh wants fame

Sayin' I could be the biggest and the

Best to ever do it (Humble me, Lord)

I'm really goin' through it

And God forbid, the glitz and the glamour

Start to become the only reason I pursue it

Tryin' not to go astray but couldn't blame God

If He got fed up with my antics and decided to take the gift away

But I can hear my flesh sayin', "Man, I know what you want

What you want, what you want, what you want, what you want"

But I can hear God sayin', "Son, I got what you need

What you need, what you need, what you need, what you need"

And I can feel this battle for control, they fightin' over my soul

My flesh would say, "Yes," the Spirit is sayin', "No"

And I don't know how much longer I can stand to fight

My desires are my weakness, Kryptonite

At times it's like I'm only holdin' on by a thread

Don't wanna contradict any words that I've said

And the songs I've written, different sermons I've given

The words are only real if they reflect the way I'm livin'

So what if you caught me runnin' around with a bunch of women

Or caught me makin' my way in and out of hotels

Or even worse, if I use my position in the church to get a sexual gain

Hmm, yeah, put my armor on, the battle wages constantly

But my goal is not to let my flesh conquer me

When those urges arise, she slowly walk by

Just lower my head and close my eyes

'Til the battle subsides and my Father gets finished

Beatin' up my flesh 'til it falls and dies

And quivers at the sound of His voice

It may sound extreme but it's done by choice

(Open up a little bit more)

See women tend to be my biggest weakness

All they gotta do is tell me what I wanna hear

To get me messed up, emotionally caught up

Ready to give my heart up, marriage gets brought up

Like I'm in love when it's really just infatuation

I could never recognize the difference in the two

So with the lack of education, I continue to indulge

All the while I can feel my spirit start to weaken

Now my guard is down, I don't dedicate as much time to prayer

I spend more time on the phone, Christ used to be my first thought

But we've fallen off, I'm steady tryna figure out what she's thinkin'

I'm so wrapped in her that I start to forget sin has a consequence

I'ma have to pay, but thank God for deliverance

Teach me how to surrender in my singleness

I can hear my flesh sayin', "Man, I know what you want

What you want, what you want, what you want, what you want"

But I can hear God sayin', "Son, I got what you need

What you need, what you need, what you need, what you need"

And I can feel this battle for control, they fightin' over my soul

My flesh would say, "Yes," the Spirit is sayin', "No"

And I don't know how much longer I can stand to fight

My desires are my weakness, Kryptonite

I can hear my flesh sayin', "Man, I know what you want

What you want, what you want, what you want, what you want"

But I can hear God sayin', "Son, I got what you need

What you need, what you need, what you need, what you—"

So I started tellin' my flesh, "God's the one that I want

That I want, that I want, that I want, that I want"

Then my spirit started to sing, "God's the one that I need

That I need, that I need, that I need, that I need"
