Nonsense
Ain't it crazy how God makes us babies and then gives us souls And we enter into this world and sin it then takes control, and it molds us Soon as doc placed us in mama's hands, like patty cake, patty cake, baker's man I remember as a young boy chillin' in the projects So many crazy things I seen, I couldn't even process When you see them dope boys, you just think them dudes is cool Sellin' work and skipping school Confused like a Rubik's cube Something deep inside of you is captured by the nonsense Club hoppin', pistol poppin', bodies droppin', violence Ever noticed nobody ever taught you how to do wrong It's just the way that we're prone to pick up all on our own And I know I ain't alone, cause dirty we're all the same same Mamma and daddy, Adam and Eve is they name. And even though you and I may not be from the same city. I guarantee it's a fact: you have this in common with me, like:
(Young and dumb, foolish too, I was on some nonsense) I was on some nonsense, I was on some nonsense (Young and dumb, foolish too, I was on some nonsense) I was on some nonsense, I was on some nonsense
That's what you start up as a young'un, doin' what they say is tight In the schools; kickin' and fights In the hood; stealin' bikes Then they tell you that it's cool Err'body smokin' weed Sleeping 'round like merry-go Now they got you blowin' trees Then you get a little older; they say 'let's go hit the club' Now you take a little drank, lookin' for a stronger drug There's somebody come up pregnant, you ain't playin' parenthood Now you're sittin' thinking, should I hit a Planned Parenthood Then you dive a little deeper in the culture, and heard this: 'You don't need to read that Bible, cause that God he don't exist You don't need to trust in Jesus, because he was just a man Please don't listen to them Christians, they have no clue what they're saying' Now you say you hate religion, cause you just wanna be free Say, 'I'mma do what makes me happy, and whatever pleases me And whatever pleases me is exactly what I'mma do.'

(Young and dumb, foolish too, I was on some nonsense) I was on some nonsense, I was on some nonsense (Young and dumb, foolish too, I was on some nonsense) I was on some nonsense, I was on some nonsense
But now I love the Father so much, I love Son so much, The Holy Spirit so much, That I don't wanna turn away So when the world try to clutch, When my sin try to clutch, When my flesh try to clutch, Then I must turn away I don't wanna break his heart with my lust and my pride I don't wanna break his heart, 'cuz I trust in my God And I count it all as loss, just so I can know Him They didn't die for my sin, so I can't live for them And I can't live for you And I can't live for me See I'm hidden in Christ, like playing hide and go seek I was dead in my sin, but God made me alive Together with Christ Jesus - Ephesians 2, verse 5 I'm seated in heavenly places, by His grace I've been saved I refuse to dig a ditch, go and lay back in my grave I've been captured by His beauty, I pursue Him super hard Not no comfort, power, money, pleasure, and not a stupid car I'm not:
(Young and dumb, foolish too, I was on some nonsense) I was on some nonsense, I was on some nonsense (Young and dumb, foolish too, I was on some nonsense) I was on some nonsense, I was on some nonsense
(Yeah man, I know how it is bro... we've been captured by sin. But now we need to be captured again, by God's holiness, man.)
