Lyrics
Yeah
Expression of agreement or acknowledgment
Ya know I was always taught
Introduction to a lesson learned
Sticks and stones a break your bones but words will never hurt you
Recalls the saying "Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words will never hurt you"
It won't till I get up and lived a little longer that I realized that words do hurt
Personal realization that words can hurt after experiencing life
But one thing you gotta have is
Introduction to the concept of having tough skin
Tough skin
Emphasis on the necessity of having resilient and tough emotional strength
Devil tried me almost won I got pulled in
Narration of resisting the devil's influence with determination and faith
Always lurking think it's fun but never again
-Will I Fall victim I ain't the one say I'm locked in
-God told me I got this
-Tough skin
-Devil tried me almost won I got pulled in
-Always lurking think it's fun but never again
-Will I Fall victim I ain't the one say I'm locked in
-God told me I got this
-Tough skin
Reiteration of the importance of tough skin
No longer control by the devil ain't no muppet
Assertion of independence from negative influences
Methods gone outta style like some truck fit
-He can't get me stir up like some thick grits
-I ain't budging stop it
-No longer fooled by the set up
Refusal to be deceived and maintaining a positive attitude
Feeling like Derez I'm fed up
-You can push you can pull but you won't get a reaction I just smile like I'm messed up
-I admit I have slip ups
Acknowledgment of personal flaws but reliance on inner strength and divine grace
But the spirit is greater in me that is in the world
-So I repent cause these principalities shouldn't have gotten festered
-I ain't the man of steel but I'm made of steel so the enemy attack what's real
-So he can play the field cause in reality imma receive what's in his will
-I don't have to pop the seal I know that his grace is real
-And when I'm down bout to explode he cover me on the field
Divine protection in challenging situations
Jesus I'm calling for a strength exchange
Call for spiritual strength and commitment to serving a higher power
I would gladly accept your joy for my weakness
-Give me a clean heart
-I will serve nobody but you
-Tough skin
Reiteration of the theme of having tough skin and divine guidance
Devil tried me almost won I got pulled in
-Always lurking think it's fun but never again
-Will I Fall victim I ain't the one say I'm locked in
-God told me I got this
-Tough skin
-Devil tried me almost won I got pulled in
-Always lurking think it's fun but never again
-Will I Fall victim I ain't the one say I'm locked in
-God told me I got this
-Lord I learned it's not worth it
Recognition that certain actions are not worth the trouble, with a commitment to a purposeful life
Everything done for a purpose
-Modeling my life after you
-And I'm barely just skimming the surface
-The devil a joke he a fluke
Dismissal of the devil's influence and emotional control
I expose him and pull back the curtains
-I got the proof cause I know the truth
-My emotions under his service
-This supposed to be a feature
A shift in focus to a collaboration with a higher power, emphasizing a test of inner strength
God said it's featuring me
-I wanna see how tough your skin is this test right here is from me
-Move forward or stand still what your response gone be
A choice between progress and stagnation, with a divine challenge
Told the devil to attack you here to see if you'll still reverence me
-Jesus I'm calling for a strength exchange
Repeat of the call for spiritual strength and commitment
I would gladly accept your joy for my weakness
-Give me a clean heart
-I will serve nobody but you
-Tough skin
Final reiteration of the importance of having tough skin and trusting in divine guidance
Devil tried me almost won I got pulled in
-Always lurking think it's fun but never again
-Will I Fall victim I ain't the one say I'm locked in
-God told me I got this
-Tough skin
-Devil tried me almost won I got pulled in
-Always lurking think it's fun but never again
-Will I Fall victim I ain't the one say I'm locked in
-God told me I got this
