Worth It: Unveiling the True Cost of Chasing Wealth
Lyrics
What would it profit
Contemplating the value or benefit.
Profit a man to gain this world
Reflecting on what it would benefit a person to gain worldly success.
And lose his soul
Questioning the worth of worldly gains if one loses their spiritual essence.
No, it ain't worth it
Declaring that the pursuit of worldly success is not worthwhile.
It ain't worth it
Reiterating that the pursuit of worldly success is not worthwhile.
Listen
Transitioning to a deeper reflection.
Forget the fans and the stands and the sold out shows
Disregarding the applause, popularity, and successful performances.
I'm just really worried about my soul
Expressing concern about the state of one's soul over external achievements.
Faithful to the Lord when I make it be forever grateful
Pledging faithfulness to a higher power and gratitude upon achieving success.
I'm doing everything some people said I can't do
Defying expectations and accomplishing what others doubted.
Growing up, felt like I had to prove myself
Recalling a past where proving oneself was a constant effort.
Constantly aiming for goals that I accrued myself
Persistently striving for self-defined goals.
Pet peeve, they ain't believe barely had a patreon
Expressing annoyance at others' lack of belief, especially with minimal support.
That's why I felt the need to prove myself and prove some people wrong
Feeling compelled to demonstrate worth and prove doubters wrong.
Latest prayer, be content with this season
Asking for contentment in the current phase of life.
People have a lot of riches, no contentment
Observing the discontent despite material wealth.

Crazy that they got homes, still can't find no residence
Commenting on the irony of having homes but lacking a true sense of belonging.
You'd think King Solomon was bugging
