What Good Is It
Soul's Dilemma: Balancing Fame and Faith
Lyrics
Everybody screaming your name and you're name and you're loving it (yeah)
People are praising and celebrating your success, and you enjoy the attention.
And everybody telling you how you made it big yeah ohh yeah yeah
Others acknowledge your significant achievements and success.
(And your caught up in the fame)
Feeling entangled in the world of fame and recognition.
And you're loving it you don't give God the glory
Enjoying the fame but neglecting to give credit to God for your success.
(And what good is it to gain)

So what about your soul you don't wanna lose it no

Your soul matters yeah

Now it may look good right now but it only leads to destruction

Consumes you like fire now what's to gain in that

And the pressure falls down on your head cuz you're losing it you're losing it
Feeling overwhelmed and pressured due to the consequences of worldly pursuits.
Now you're stressed out crying in your bed
Experiencing stress and emotional turmoil as a result of the pursuit of success.
From all the pain and needs
Referencing pain and unmet needs resulting from the pursuit of worldly goals.
You don't wanna end like the rich man lifting his head up in hell

Wishing he made a better decision open your heart and get with the vision

We gotta learn how to make God apart of everything we do
Advocating for incorporating God into every aspect of life.
Giving him glory and praise cuz he did it for you he did it for you

Now there is something to gain in that uh huh
