lirik lagu stephen the levite - temptation // 誘惑
[intro]
yeah
everybody deals with, and everybody’s is different, but
i wanna talk about my, just be honest about what goes on in my own head
yo!
[verse]
one of the greatest temptations i’m facin’ right now
is gettin’ lazy with my style
or sayin’ “i ain’t appreciated. mic’s down”
i serve too small a market, i need a larger target
you know, a broader audience
who’ll spend their dollars on this
and as i write now, there’s temptation for makin’ some crazy statements complainin’ but i know how pride sounds:
“i’m everybody’s favorite, maybe one of the greatest
the peak of every playlist, you’d be a lame to hate this”
but the truth is it’s foolish to say this
so please bear with my foolishness ‘cause i’ve concluded it’s stupid to fake it
i google my name too much, think that my fame is just
but still it ain’t enough, i need to make some bucks
but not in the greedy sense
i just wanna appease the irs and pay off our debts, i don’t need to be rich
i’m fightin’ to be a man, dyin’ to lead the fam
tryin’ to please the fans, writin’ to feed the lambs
but i feel the pressure to dumb it down
i’m from the underground, but to sell i gotta come with that southern sound
it’d be fake as a toupee, got me feelin’ like lupe
this not how i do thangs, i just gotta be true man
‘cause i don’t do this for the fickle m-sses
i do this for god, myself, and anyone else who can peep the talent
so if you dig it, cool. if you ain’t wit’ it, cool
it wasn’t meant for you, it’s for the kids who do
and i know that i can be an elitist
‘cause i’m a back-packer, the mad rapper who is bein’ redeemed, it’s
still in my dna, as i k!ll it i’m bein’ saved, i’m not willin’ to be enslaved, by opinions of people swayed
by the radio or the garbage on it
call it what you want i’m an artist, i don’t care what the hottest song is
i won’t be commercialized, to please a shirt and tie
who’s least concerned with god, and thinks in terms of profits
but that’s the nature of work
the soil that i’m toilin’ in has been foilin’ plans since the day of the curse
i’m milkin’ a crazy cow, and by my sweaty brow
as long as grace allows, i’m gonna make it bow
‘cause in the garden we’re givin’ dominion
we lost it in the fall and now in the kingdom we see it’s redemption
call it “imago dei”, my thoughts have gone astray
i’ve got a lot to say, but prob’ly not today
‘cause sometimes i’m tempted to make it deep
with all the lofty theological jargon when i should say “i’m weak”
i think if you leave impressed, you’ll believe i’m a beast at best
or at least a believer stressed, and sleep on the things confessed
did i mention i like to talk a lot?
but confessions are best when they’re short, so i probably oughta stop
this isn’t a pity rap, though i’m tempted to spit for that
thanks for givin’ a listen black, this is how i’m a end the track
[outro]
satan entered the snake then creation became a place of
(temptation) and now adam hates the fact that he’s naked
but can’t admit his mistake but instead he’s blamin’ his mate
the (temptation) cause manifestations of separation
but thankfully his replacement the savior came and when facin’
(temptation) never gave in, and paved the way for the saints
to behave in the craziest situations they can escape the
(temptation) by his grace through faith in the one who saved ‘em
