[Verse 1]
Temptations outside, knocking at my door
I won the battle last night, but I'm still at war
I starve my flesh
Then feed my spirit with faith
Then raise hell till it's up at Heavens Gates
[Chorus]
Temptation creeps into an idle mind
Lack of purpose is the place seeking pleasure resides and feel safe
(and get's its strength)
Temptation loves fame, serves ego and pride
Mama told me two wrongs, don't make no right
So I pray (the temptation away)
[Verse 2]
Temptation makes slaves out of lustful eyes
It'll rob you of your happiness And pay you attеntion with lies
In that darkness, you'll find shame ‘s not worth your timе
Then appraise your sin for the cost of peace of mind
[Chorus]
Temptation creeps into an idle mind
Lack of purpose is the place seeking pleasure resides and feel safe
(and get's its strength)
Temptation loves fame, serves ego and pride
Mama told me two wrongs, don't make no right
So I pray (the temptation away)
[Bridge]
Down by the Riverbend
In the garden, where the snake tempted Adam and Eve
They ate the fruit and from those seeds
Grew the roots of this family tree
It's why we struggle it's why we fight
Our mother's nature, fathered time
The human race, but fall behind
Dying to live but all living to die
For goodness sake
We've been a tone for sins and given God's grace
Stuck in this Babylonic world we can't escape
Going to war with Demons every day
The soul and spirit break that's why I pray
[Outro]
Temptations outside, knocking at my door (temptations knocking at my door)
I won the battle last night, but I'm still at war (I am still at war)
I starve my flesh, then feed my spirit with faith (I must feed my spirit with faith)
Then raise hell till it's up at Heavens Gates (I'll raise hell, till it's up at Heavens Gates)
