Why I Do
Beyond Fame: Da' T.R.U.T.H.'s Journey to True Purpose
Lyrics
I don't do this for fame
I am not pursuing fame in the music industry.
I don't do this for fame
-I don't do this for fame
-I don't do this for the money
-I don't do this for fame
-I don't do this so the
-Industry can know my name
-I don't do this for the money
My motivation is not driven by financial gains or industry recognition.
I don't do this for fame
-I don't do this for fame
-I don't do this for fame
-I don't do this for the money
-I don't do this for fame
-I don't do this so the
-Industry can know my name
-That was much easier to say
In the past, it was easier to reject fame and money, but circumstances have changed.
A couple dollars ago
-That was much easier to say
-A couple albums ago
-That was a piece of cake to say
-Before I got on the road
-Landing a record deal with Cross Movement
-Was not in my goals
-When I say that man I mean it
Despite achievements and applause, internal struggles arise, and the desire for more challenges the artist.
- but I'm at war with myself
-Due to the roars and the applause
-And the awards on my shelf
-Plus the allure of more wealth - man I
-Know what I store - it's gone melt
-Sometimes I'm torn and so I'm drawn -
-Back to the floors that I've knelt
-But the closer I get to God -
-The more I know that it's nothing
-All of my things and my achievements - man
-I wanna throw 'em in the oven
-Burn 'em up - I'm hurt enough
Expressing discomfort with coveting materialistic desires and the pursuit of more wealth.
About the Jones' I covet
-And I hate the fact that I want more
-Of what I can't have like Ocean's Eleven
-Though I'm known in the public - not a
Recognition of being a servant of God, emphasizing humility and service rather than status symbols.
King when I walk in your service
-I'm no better then my Lord - man
-I know then I'm only a servant
-If you see me help with chairs don't
-Tell me that I'm a king
-I already know that but I gotta show
-That I ain't gotta wear diamond rings
-Before I'm Truth man
Prioritizing Christian identity and humility, seeking spiritual growth through prayer and service.
I'm a Christian so I gotta grind on my knees
-Basically, pick up a basin and
-Start washin' some feet
-Even if you feel the beat like
-Some cops in the street
-Please don't tell me I'm the best
-I'm tryin' not to compete
-All flesh is as grass
Reflecting on the transient nature of human achievements and emphasizing the enduring power of the word of God.
And the glory of man is at
-The flowers of the field
-The grass withers and the flowers fade
-But the word of the Lord endures forever
-I'm here and I'm gone
Highlighting the transient nature of life and using the time to proclaim the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.
That's why I take the time that I have
-To proclaim the One who was glorious
-The Lord Jesus Christ, who is indeed God
