This Side Of The Sky

Yeah, so we got kids out here plain’ the knock out game

Just goin’ up to like, some old lady and knocking her out

Like what? I mean, ya’ll heard of the fire challenge

I mean kids goin’ out like setting themselves on fire man!

Who you think puts those thoughts in your mind?

The devil comes to kill steal and destroy! Wake up!

On this side of the sky

We're gonna have our troubles

And everyday is a battle

And they fighting for your soul

I'm asking for your grace God, this world is nuts

Have mercy on my day God, I’ll do whatever you want

I'm rollin out this bed I'm tryina do just what you said

But satan's creeping in my head, I know he only want me dead (blacka blacka)

Got me goin’ hard up in this paint no wacka flocka

I’m out to heal the world with the words of the doctor

The great physician told me this himself

Said I gotta put my pride up on the shelf, if I wanna help

The world is crazy, times are changing, and the devil's real

And his greatest ally is christians who are out there sitting still

No calling names lord knows that many times that person's me

And we close our eyes to the things that we don't really wanna see

Debating politics that don't line up with God's word

Turning this way of life into something that's ab -surd

I serve the true God that died & rose for me

On this side of the sky is where I be until I d-I-e

On this side of the sky

We're gonna have our troubles

And everyday is a battle

And they fighting for your soul

Soul oh oh oh oh oh

They fighting for your soul

Soul oh oh oh oh oh

They fighting for your soul

Soul oh oh oh oh oh

They fighting for your soul

Soul oh oh oh oh oh

And they fighting for your soul

Now poppa always said satan is a cruel creature

One hand behind his back every time that he greets ya

I'm telling you, every single sin that we embrace has a counterpart

And ain't nuthin' that we do is hidden from the eyes of God

Everyday's a battle may your scars be a testament to

Others who are under the same weight that was pressin' on you

Uh, now that's an earful of knowledge for ya

It might teach ya more than years at a college for ya

The sun comes up & goes down everyday

We out here loanin’ out our souls like we fannie mae

The devil wants to keep mind trapped in the dark

And only God knows how he gone start

A little bit of this, a little bit of that

They trade in their degrees for a little bit of crack

I seen it done - under the sun all we chase is in vain

While we should be chasin’ after his name that’s all I’m sayin’

On this side of the sky

We're gonna have our troubles

And everyday is a battle

And they fighting for your soul

Soul oh oh oh oh oh

They fighting for your soul

Soul oh oh oh oh oh

They fighting for your soul

Soul oh oh oh oh oh

They fighting for your soul

Soul oh oh oh oh oh

And they fighting for your soul
