Identity

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Hair, check

Shoes, check

A brand new fit, lookin' cool, check

I'm lookin' in the mirror like oooh, yes

To cover for an insecure dude, check

But she won't feel me and they won't like me

If I ain't in them j's or them brand new nikes

Let's dig deeper inside my psyche

When it's all said and done even I don't like me

He live in the gym and his hair stay faded

Late model car so they think he made it

He's christian, he gave his life

But he still ain't satisfied in the savior christ

Still finds his identity in looks and cars

If he only knew that he ain't have to look so hard

If he looked in god

It may seem odd

But he be so satisfied, he can leave it all

I'm not the shoes I wear

I'm not the clothes I buy

I'm not the house I live in

I'm not the car I drive, no

I'm not the job I work

You can't define my worth

By nothing on god's green earth

My identity is found in Christ, is found in Christ

Hey, how do I gain success

Why do I say I'm blessed, huh

Is it the car that I drive

Or the place that I rest

Or the way that I dress, now, now

Is the cause of my pride

The stage and the set

Or my face in the press, now, now

It's the applause that dies

When the praise is less

If my face is depressed, then, then

It's cause my value and worth is in the volume of the work I produce in the booth

It's a prize and a curse if defined by the perks when the truth is through

Man I won't feel like I don't want to live no more, no more, no more

Cause they don't like me, like they did in 04, 04, 04

So I swallow my pride empowered by god, I'm complete in him

He's got peace god's priest, I'm in

In his presence weak is strength

Meet his kin

We his brethren

Read this list

Me forgiven

He's dismissed guilt and my sin

And then I find my worth cause I'm Jesus' friend

I'm not the shoes I wear

I'm not the clothes I buy

I'm not the house I live in

I'm not the car I drive, no

I'm not the job I work

You can't define my worth

By nothing on god's green earth

My identity is found in christ, is found in Christ

Got her hair done, toes, nails

Is that her, well it's hard to tell

Cause she's so caked up in all that make up

It's like she tryna make up for what she ain't but

She's a saint, but so confused

Cause she's been rejected by all these dudes

That tell her on a scale of 10 she's a two

But that ain't true

If she only knew

In christ she is loved, she secure and accepted

Never be rejected by god whose elected her

Her beauty is her godliness

And she ain't gotta flaunt it cause it's obvious

Identity is found in the god we trust

And any other identity will self destruct

Identity is found in the god we trust

And any other identity will self destruct

I'm not the shoes I wear

I'm not the clothes I buy

I'm not the house I live in

I'm not the car I drive, no

I'm not the job I work

You can't define my worth

By nothing on god's green earth

My identity is found in christ, is found in Christ
