Gotta Grow Lyrics

T-Stone, what it do, man, yeah

Somebody wave yer hands like dis (like dis)

E'erbody wave yer hands like dis (like dis)

Yeah, y'all can dance to this (yeah)

Yeah, y'all can dance to this

Less git it, less git it man (less git it man)

Less git it, less git it man (yeah)

I wasn't never the type that's tryna kill folks

Nothing too bad maybe dabbled in a lil smoke

A lil lust, but wasn't never seen as a bad dude

Was livin for myself dreamed of wealth and makin cash move

Was told of a savior who raised named Jesus

That paid full of grace and I did believe it

They told me He would hold me and I was blessed wit Christ

I'm like, "I get to go to Heaven? Man I'm set for life."

But after that, I was just ya average Sunday Christian

Up in church wit my bible, back Monday sinning

Up in the school yard trying hard to blend in

Was acting dead as a carcass, far from livin

I was all up in the world, I was just like the rest of them

Called myself a Christian, but would sin with the best of them

I wouldn't share my faith or read my Word it's crazy

I was a immature believer, a spiritual baby

-Chorus-

We gotta grow, we can't stay in the same place

We gotta grow, we gotta be seeking His face

We gotta grow, so if you saved and you've been pardoned

We gotta grow, you ain't done you just getting started

(Repeat)

Verse 2:

I was my own guide, would never dive in His truth

But didn't realize that I was set aside for His use

So I'd just live for what I thought was my best interest

Around nonbelievers you couldn't tell the difference

Wan't a thug, nah I ain't got no horror story

But was livin for myself not the Lord and His glory

My confession: I didn't seek my Dad's perfection

Was goin down the wrong road like I had bad directions

Until He showed my not imitating the Christ

And livin fo me I was truly wasting my life

And that Christ died so I could have relationship

But by my actions I refused to take this gift

Until He made a switch and now I want some mo of Him daily

By His grace I'm growing and have matured from a baby

I'm so grateful that I've been torn from sin

And day by day He's makin me more like Him

Chorus

Verse 3:

So for my believers, I just wanna encourage y'all

To draw closer to the Lord I know you heard His call

Even if you ain't smokin an shootin at domes

If you don't do it all fo His glory, you doin it wrong

Heaven ain't the only reason we got saved

If we don't get to know Jesus then we got played

Plus we gotta change, He said He'd change us all

And the faith without fruit, that ain't faith at all (why)

Sanctification, check Romans 6

We 'posed to switch, die to sin and grow in holiness

All my brothers and sister I know this walk is tough

But even if you young just getting saved is not enough

We gotta talk to Him, read who the Lord in the skies is

The reason we breathe is to enjoy and glorify Him

I'm grateful the Father is changing ya boy

And getting closer to Him is an unexplainable joy
