[Verso 1]
If you're like me, you grew up
Listening to Kirk, listening to Donny
Listening to Ricky, listening to Donald
Listening to the Deitrick, Hezekiah Walker
Listened to the Clarks, listened to Yolanda
Listened to Commisioned, listened to the Winans
Listening to Edwin, listening to Milton
Listening to Shirley, Richard Smallwood
[Bridge 1]
Let me make it clear
These are pioneers
And if you want that unashamed
Then you can find it here
How you gonna brush aside
The foundation they lay?
Chase all this fame
But you can't say Jesus name
[Pre Coro 1]
You might be right
You might be wrong
It's worth the fight
Keep holding on
[Coro]
We present our lives to you, lives to you
Please don't think we lie to you, lie to you
I just think it's our obligation
To show the people love and salvation
I present my life to you, life to you
Please don't think I lie to you, lie to you
I just think it's my obligation
To give my love with no hesitation
[Verso 3]
You won't see very much
Talking about sex, talking about drugs
Talking about groupies after the show
Talking about drinking, talking about smoke
Talking about abortions, talking about divorce
Bodies in the closet, talking 'bout the corpse
Talking about lesbians, talking about trans
But everybody talking about Chance
[Bridge 2]
Listening to Kendrick
Bowing down to Jay
Studying the lyrics while you trying to relate
How can you justify the choice that you make?
Show yourself as one thing but live another way
[Pre Coro 2]
You might be right
You might be wrong
It's worth the fight
It won't be long
[Coro]
We present our lives to you, lives to you
Please don't think we lie to you, lie to you
I just think it's our obligation
To show the people love and salvation
I present my life to you, life to you
Please don't think I lie to you, lie to you
I just think it's my obligation
To give my love with no hesitation
[Guitar Solo]
[Coro]
We present our lives to you, lives to you
Please don't think we lie to you, lie to you (break it down for you)
I just think it's our obligation
To show the people love and salvation (show the people everything)
I present my life to you, life to you
Please don't think I lie to you, lie to you
I just think it's my obligation
To give my love with no hesitation
