Significance

Verse 1:

Eighteen years a flesh and she news to the Lord, 18 years a fish and she's new to the yard

She's a baby drinking milk instead of food that is hard, knew what it was to feel pain since she was 2 in the yard

Memories of daddy getting murked catching 2 in the heart, plus her momma was a product of 70s crack parties

And the lack of supervision allowed her to act naughty

She skipping all class but goin to frat parties, dressed to kill, dolled up, they call her the black Barbie

She rocks the hottest fashion masking her heart's darting pain behind Greeks saying "Hey, what up shorty?"

She's love in the attention ignoring her conviction because she's up in college getting noticed like evictions

And for the first time it's like she finally found significance, she's catching compliments but at the cost of her innocence

Hook:

Don't play yourself like that (like that), make a change I'll tell you where it's at (where it's at)

Place your faith in Christ and He'll bring you back, bring you back to reality man

Cause you're stuck in a world full of sin, full of pain, full of scars, money, fashion, and cars

So go ahead and make Him King of your heart and you'll find yourself in Him

Verse 2:

Young dude up in college feeling cocky like 2 glocks, up in the dorm writing Dear Mama letters like Tupac

Mad at the world that's trying to break him into 2 parts, feeling cheated, defeated, he's looking for a new start

His momma lied bout cheating on his daddy, he couldn't trust her, far as he concerned his real daddy was a busta

So since he couldn't discern this stuff, nowhere to turn and trust he burned the kush and turned to lust

Women was his escape, adolescence his scapegoat, all the pressures of life wore him down like he played sports

He played sports but that was just for attention his struggles with insecurities made him feel insufficient

The thoughts of other men concerning him kept concerning him, he thought if he didn't please them then there's no love for him

Prisoned within himself by the vision of himself, so disgusted with life he wished he was someone else

Verse 3:

Nobody told us God wanted a relationship, they just said that He was Master with a patient whip

Out to get me if I chose to forsake His gift saying my sin would be the reason if His patience dipped

And I ain't perfect so I figured that He must hate me, (must hate me) so my hope was to not frustrate things

So I gave Him very Sunday plus my bedtime prayer, and instead of my girl's room I went to bed downstairs

I lived everyday thinking that His love was conditional believing the subliminals that God was never into us

But despite my world views and my girl's views I decided to side with the God who changed my world views

It ain't worth it man to work your hand to plan to please the people, see I'm certain man assertive hands stand to see the cement

All men will bow to this God who's real, and because of His love your significance is
