Heart Problem

Money, sex and power, are good

What? You want me to listen to who?

I don't know, I used to like trip lee when he first came out

Now I'm feelin' like he be actin' like money is a sin or something

I don't know, what he talkin' 'bout now?

Let me get this off my chest, I know some folks gon' be mad

Ain't tryna start no mess, but I know how folks gon' react

Feel I gotta strive and press, tell 'em what I mean till they see that

They think I got a problem, with dollars, and makin' green cash

But money really ain't the problem, every grand is a grant from the father

When I said we can't serve both god and cash many folks thought I meant "don't bother"

But I ain't sayin' makin' money ain't right, I'm just sayin' that your money ain't christ

Please don't bow down to the greenbacks and let them stacks rule your life

Ain't tryna say you shouldn't get paid, I ain't tryna say that we should stay broke

But money don't mean you got favor, bein' broke don't mean that you don't

Money is a gift that's good, give it to the father, to the giver

I've been misunderstood but I trust in the god who delivers

Please don't miss the problem, mayne it is not the god who reigns

It is not the gifts he gave, this is what I gotta say, say

Don't exalt them over the god of grace

You can't really enjoy him till your heart's replaced

The gifts and the giver are good

The gifts and the giver are good

The gifts and the giver are good

Your heart is where the problem's at, let's get that understood

I got something on my mind, bro some folks might not like that

Feel like it's about that time to hit 'em with the truth where that light's at

But still some folks wanna fight that, 'cause hand that feeds wanna bite that

'Cause they think it's pleasin', it's makin' demons of all that he made but despite that

He grants good gifts like sex, I ain't tryna start no messin'

I don't wanna get graphic with all the fact cause he gave it so we could be blessed

Please don't, act like I'm gone, please don't, just say I'm wrong, just stay

Confident in the word, you'll see, that he condones it

Sex ain't the problem, it's sinners who just forgot him

Distortin', corrupt like sodom, the gifts, they want 'em without him

It's beautiful in it's proper place, marriage, until we pop it up

And turn our footsteps from his face, and then we problem

We don't miss the problem, mayne it is not the god who reigns

It is not the gifts he gave, this is what I gotta say, say

Don't exalt them over the god of grace

You can't really enjoy him till your heart's replaced

The gifts and the giver are good

The gifts and the giver are good

The gifts and the giver are good

Your heart is where the problem's at, let's get that understood

Last, verse still gotta be real, submit my thoughts under his will

Even if it ain't really what I feel, gotta let him take that, take that wheel

Last thing to talk about, before end of discussion

I heard power corrupts, no it just shows our corruption

But power's really a blessing submitted to resurrection

And wielded it to help this mess up, of world in which we're restin', mayne

Our heart's the issue so submit it to the good lord

He will replace it, what you think we call him good for?

We don't miss the problem, mayne it is not the god who reigns

It is not the gifts he gave, this is what I gotta say, say

Don't exalt them over the god of grace

You can't really enjoy him till your heart's replaced

The gifts and the giver are good

The gifts and the giver are good

The gifts and the giver are good

Your heart is where the problem's at, let's get that understood

Ok, ok, I think I got what he talkin' 'bout now

It ain't that money, power and sex are the problem

It's that something is wrong with my lil', my own lil' heart

I don't know, we'll see, still think that man trippin'
