Text: J. Moss. What I'm Living For.
[Rap]
Oh no, thought it'd never come
That day that I'd tell her that I gotta run
Run, run back to the savior do my labor
'Cause His word is razor sharp
I forgot I hid it in my heart
Gotta do a clean sweep on the spot and drop
Everything that ain't clean
Don't take it for being mean
'Cause a brother's gotta fulfill his dreams
Ya mean?
[Verse 1]
You made my toes bring my balance to the floor
You made my feet walk right over to your door
You had my ankles, tangled and puzzled
You had my knees to the point they buckled
(What you're doing to me)
In the light of day, I'd stumble over your way
Couldn't wait for the right time,
The high time,
The right time
Being as it was, we had to close the door
It was like turning away from a million bucks,
But I can't see you no more
[Chorus]
Like the cold of a lonely night
The draft of a window not shut tight
I've got a hunger for being right
That's what I'm living for
I'm living for
Enticed by the things you do
It's a one-way ticket to Devil's Hell fooling with you
My soul longs to be true
That's what I'm living for
I'm living for
[Verse 2]
You had my legs on a virtual restrainer
I could not move without permission from my trainer
You had my arms and hands wrapped around your love
You made my heart bust
In the light of day, I'd stumble over your way
Couldn't wait for the right time,
The high time,
The right time
Being as it was, we had to close the door
It was like turning away from a million bucks,
But I can't see you no more
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I give my life not unto temptation
Nor condemnation
For my salvation
Is more important to me
[Chorus to end]
Oh no, thought it'd never come
That day that I'd tell her that I gotta run
Run, run back to the savior do my labor
'Cause His word is razor sharp
I forgot I hid it in my heart
Gotta do a clean sweep on the spot and drop
Everything that ain't clean
Don't take it for being mean
'Cause a brother's gotta fulfill his dreams
Ya mean?

You made my feet walk right over to your door
You had my ankles, tangled and puzzled

In the light of day, I'd stumble over your way
Couldn't wait for the right time,
The high time,
The right time
Being as it was, we had to close the door
It was like turning away from a million bucks,
But I can't see you no more
[Chorus]
Like the cold of a lonely night

I've got a hunger for being right
That's what I'm living for
I'm living for
