LYRIC SHEET

“SEEK HIM FIRST”

VERSE 1

SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS

NEVERTHELESS, MANY WILL FIGHT WITH THIS

HOW DID GOD BECOME SECONDARY, IT’S SCARY

SOME THINK THAT SERVING HIM MEANS YOU’RE SHACKLED LIKE MARY MARY

NOT FREE TO DO ANYTHING, SO THEY OFFEND THE KING

ASKING WHAT RICHES CAN HE BRING, SO MANY SING

IN AN EFFORT TO GAIN WEALTH LOSING MORALS AND ETHICS

WHAT THEY WOULDN’T DO IS NOW COMPROMISED BY HYPOTHETICS

LIKE SING ABOUT GOD AND LOSE FAME, FOR WHAT

IF I CHANGE MY GOOD-GIRL IMAGE THEN MORE FANS WOULD SHOW UP

WITH SEXY GIRLS IN MY VIDEO I’M SURE TO BLOW UP

TO DOWNPLAY GOD FOR FAME THEY NEED TO GROW UP

THOUGH YOU MAY THINK IT, YOU DON’T CONTROL YOUR LIFELINE ANYDAY

BUT ASK YOURSELF LIKE DREW, WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY

WHO’S THE PRIMARY CONTROLLER OVER YOUR BLESSINGS

IF SOMEONE PROVIDES FOR YOU WOULDN’T YOU SEEK THEIR PRESENCE

YOU SAY YOU WOULD BUT CONTINUE WORLDLY BEHAVIOR

THEN LATER SAY, “I WANNA THANK JESUS, MY LORD AND SAVIOR”

BUT WHAT YOU’RE REALLY DOING IS THANKING HIM FOR GIVING

PROMISCUOUS WOMEN THAT WOULD COMPLEMENT YOUR LIVING

YOU’RE THANKING HIM FOR THE MONEY FOR THE WEED TO SMOKE

AND KILLING YOURSELF BY DOING THINGS I DON’T NEED TO QUOTE

AND IT’S TRUE, GOD WILL BLESS THE UNJUST AND THE RIGHTEOUS

THE DIFFERENCE IS THE UNJUST WILL LIVE IN ETERNAL CHRISIS

CHORUS

SEEK, SEEK GOD FIRST, ALL THINGS ARE GIVEN BY

HIM, NO MATTER YOUR NEED, HE WON’T DENY YOU BUT

FIRST, HIS KINGDOM INVOLVES RIGHTEOUS LIVING

IF YOU ACHIEVE THAT, HIS BLESSINGS WILL BE GIVEN

(REPEAT)

VERSE 2 (SOULJAH K)

WHY DO WE PUT THESE PHYSICAL,MATERIAL,WORLDLY TANGIBLE THINGS BEFORE GOD

TROPHY AFTER TROPHY, SHOW AFTER SHOW

THANKING GOD FOR THE VERY THING HE DON’T PROMOTE

YOU THINK HE’S MOVED BY THE THINGS THAT YOU DO

WHEN YOU CUSSIN’ IN YOUR SONGS AND YOU SMOKE WITH YOUR CREW

GETTING DRUNK, HAVING SEX WITH THESE GIRLS

GET ON STAGE AND SAY “GOD WE GIVE GLORY TO YOU”

IT’S SUCH A CONTRADICTION WHEN WE SAY WE LOVE GOD

BUT NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE WAY WE’RE LIVING

THAT’S THE PROBLEM WITH THE WORLD TODAY

WE DON’T GOT NO LIMITS, WE THINK IT’S COOL JUST TO KEEP ON SINNING

I HOPE YOU’RE LISTENING PLAYER, CAUSE I KNOW WHO I AM

MY ONLY QUESTION IS WHERE DO YOU STAND

WE NEED TO BE MORE SPECIFIC ABOUT THE WAY THAT WE LIVE

CAUSE THE WAY THAT WE LIVE IS WHAT’S GONNA DETERMINE OUR END

CHORUS

BRIDGE (AMBASSADOR)

TO THE GOSPEL I’LL TELL ‘TIL I’M OLD AND DRY

(REPEAT)

VERSE 3 (DANA T.)

THANK YOU GOD, I HAVE ARRIVED

BIG HOUSE, FANCY CAR, I’M MUCH OBLIGED

TOOK ME A WHILE, BUT I MADE IT THROUGH

CLIMBED THE CORPORATE LADDER AND I THOUGHT YOU KNEW

HAD TO COMPROMISE A LITTE ON WHAT I BELIVE

BUT IT WAS WELL WORTH IT, LOOK AT WHAT I’VE ACHIEVED

THERE WAS A PRICE TO PAY FOR ALL MY SUCCESS

I’VE OFFICIALLY EARNED MY SOCIAL STATUS

I’M ON TOP OF THE WORLD, AND A LITTLE FLIRTY

STRAIGHT GANGSTA, BUT I AIN’T RIDIN’ DIRTY

THANK YOU GOD FOR BLESSING ME WITH ALL THIS WEALTH

YOU WANT ME PROSPEROUS AND LIVING IN GOOD HEALTH

AT LEAST THAT’S WHAT I HEARD CREFLO DOLLAR SAY

DON’T HAVE TIME FOR CHURCH BECAUSE IT’S OUT OF THE WAY

MATTER OF FACT, HAVEN’T READ MUCH OF THE WORD

I’M SURE I’M DOING FINE CAUSE I’VE PROSPERED

I HEARD A VOICE SPEAK TO ME INSIDE MY HEAD

THE PROPAGANDA YOU’RE PUSHING IS MISLEAD

ALL THE SUFFERING I DID, WAS IT DONE IN VAIN

SO WHY ARE YOU FALSELY USING MY NAME

I KNOW YOU NOT, YOU WORKER OF INIQUITY

YOUR FRUITS FROM YOUR TREE IS DISOBEYING ME

I PERSONALLY BORE YOU SINS, MY BODY HUNG ON A TREE

SO YOU WOULDN’T DIE FOR SIN AND LIVE RIGHTEOUSLY

DON’T BE LIKE THE MAN WHO BUILT HIS HOUSE IN THE SAND

PUT YOUR HAND IN MY HAND AND LET’S CONQUER THE LAND

THAT WAS GIVEN TO YOU, THIS ISN’T ALL FOR YOU

YOUR POSSESSIONS ARE NEEDED TO HELP OTHERS GET THROUGH

THIS IS A TEST OF YOUR FAITH AND NOT BEING SELFISH

AND ESTABLISHING WITH ME AN ETERNAL RELATIONSHIP

IF YOU TRUST AND SEEK ME FIRST IN ALL YOUR WAYS

I’LL BE YOUR CHIEF CORNERSTONE FOR THE REST OF YOUR DAYS

CHORUS
