Satan mi come fu expose you strategy
You know your time is short and your looking for company
But me and this crew, this is what we’ll do
Let the youths know, that your up to no good
Deception is your major and you want to see them suffa
So you distract them with temporary pleasure
Sweet at first but in the end it’s very bitta
Not any longa so mi sing
Christ set me free and put me inna His army now
I’m snatching souls that you once hold
With a wicked intention just to see them burn
But not any longa
Cause I’m leading the to Christ, Leading them to Christ
Leading them to Christ, cause Christ is the way the truth and the life

Don't wanna go downnn,
But man this gravity.
Now my evil being fed,

On the cross again, I lost again, what am I offering, to the king?
my oxygen fading, I'm dying, I'm craving all these vices,
but I gave up my rights to my self, to be a spartan.
Why would I auction, this awesomeness, often I see the Lord cautioning.
Don't be deceived her beauty is a front, that's why I ain't going back when it's all said and done
CHORUS
Satan tried to distract my life
With evil disguise

With him sex & his pride Distract my life
