The cursing
The swearing
The wilding out and not even caring
The lying
The creeping
The laziness from always sleeping
The sexing
The freaking
All that pornographic peeking
The smoking
The drinking
The getting blazed like every weekend
The feelings I was feeling
The thoughts that I was thinking
The lusting after ladies almost every time I was blinking
WHOA

I'm keeping it real
With certain ills
I used to deal
With back in the day
And even still
Some of these ills
Try to drill
Me up till this day
But I don't tell you this to boast
Because I'm
I'm
I'm disgusted in how I was living
Instead I tell you my soul does toast
Cheers
See
I'm driven because I'm forgiven

The above sins that I had mentioned
They could have took my life
All the stuff that I had been in could have locked me up for life
And robbed me of my destiny
But Christ's sacrifice has bought me
And brought out the best in me
Now life's no longer stressing me
Like
Like
Like a chef who burned his dinner in a kitchen
Yea
Hmm
Thanks to Christ my life's not burned
Naw
I'm driven because I'm forgiven

But I'm afraid
I'm afraid
I'm afraid that through your optics
The gospel topic has been poorly portrayed
Someone says
Jesus forgives you
And Jesus starts getting played
We think we can go out
Do dirt
Say your sorry
Then all is gravy
And then go and do dirt again
And then say sorry again
And do dirt again
And say sorry again
And even say sorry before you sin
Bro
You ain't sorry
Slim
Your Shady

"Now wait
Just who you calling shady"
Maybe
That's your question
"I don't need forgiveness
I ain't got no sin confessions"
Nowadays there's the obsession
To find the god within
But without a doubt
you're without
The God of heaven
If you are separated by your sin
And while you feel
You still
Hold weight
By self labeling yourself as god
Without Christ as your atonement
Your label is a facade
Ain't it odd
You say your god
But you had little to say
About the day
That you breathed life
And the day you fade away
Do you know God
The true God
Do you even have a clue
Well whether you don't or you do
Know that He created you
And make no mistake
He didn't make You
To do whatever the F you want to do

He made you for Himself
He made you for His plan
It's your choice to withstand
But there will be a reprimand
And here is something that you must understand
God is holy
And we are not
God is holy
And we are not
God is holy
And separated from Him
We havent got a shot
Finding faith in Christ is the only hope we got

Christ paid the price
For this life that I'm living
And my accepting all of that
Gave me access
Yo
I'm forgiven
I'm driven cuz I'm forgiven
LOOK
LOOK
LOOK
To understand that you're forgiven
Is understanding that true Christ mission
Understanding Christ was sent here
For our trifling sin remission
Understanding that Christ loved us
When we felt no sin contrition
Understanding his suffering implored for us
When we ignored or fussed
And didn't listen
Understanding that Christ was beaten
He was cursed
On him they spit
And they tripped him
And they whipped
And they kicked
Mocked and mimicked him
They tore his flesh from his body
This is all before they crucifixed him
With those nails on the cross
His hands and feet became the victims
When we
We
We
Should have been the victims
But he took the pain they did inflict him with
All because his dad handpicked him

I'm
I'm
I'm driven because I'm forgiven
Because this dude who never met me
Who never
Ever needed forgiveness
But with the swiftness
YO
He let me off the hook
From all my sins
Even before I did them.
Even the ones I'd never tell you
Jesus
He knew just where I hid them

And now I'm forgiven
Do you know just what that means
I get to live with God for eternity
It means
He's re-established his holy paternity
It means
In life I have constant certainty
Certainly
Because I feel His presence earnestly
It means
I'm no longer afraid of death
I no longer feel depressed
And when the storms in life don't cease
I'm always hydrated by his peace
It means
My God and I have an intimacy
Which introduced me to my identity
I adhere to fear no more
Cuz my God he guides
Within a me

And to all you all that ain't accepted Christ yet
I know you get annoyed
"Why you always so happy"
Hey
Hey
Hey
I'm not always happy
But I always have His joy
I no longer feel that void
You know that void
That emptiness
That loneliness
Aren't you tired of feeling that void
There's no longer something missing
He's fabulously fixed my life
And it started by receiving His forgiveness
Which made me driven to follow the Christ

My sins I freely confess
My life I gladly give him
Like a madman I'm possessed
No
I'm riven
Because I know what it means
To be forgiven

Do you
