Hunger Games
Da' T.R.U.T.H. Lyrics

Coulda been wise, shoulda listened to the prophet, but ya lil homie told you you should try it 'fore you knock it.
You should have listened to the wise advice of the prophet, but instead, you chose to listen to your friend's recommendation to try something before disregarding it.

And you did it, you got wit it, and it felt so microscopic, that's until you tried to quit it and you found you couldn't stop it.
You tried it and it felt insignificant at the time, but when you tried to quit it later, you realized that you couldn't stop doing it.

Slave now addicted to the rush.
You are now a slave to the addiction and the feelings of excitement that come with it.

It's what you crave now, cannot get enough.
You constantly yearn for the rush and can never get enough of it.

You a Christian on a mission and that battle here is tough and the matter that you grapple with is battlin' with lust.
As a Christian on a mission, you struggle with battling against lust which makes this fight challenging.

Just took another peek into the magazines, dipped another finger in the vaseline, flesh was on fire, gave it gasoline and this was just a battle for ya average teen.
You continue to give into temptation by indulging in magazines and other physical pleasures which can lead to further temptation and difficulties.

Every Christian struggles but we pressin just to meet the mark.
Even though every Christian struggles, we strive to meet the high standards set by our faith.

And I'm confused now, which one is it? Losers? Are we Winners? Are we Saints or are we sinners? And I'm tryna figure out if we victims or we victors, but I guess it all depends on what you cookin up for dinner.
It can be difficult to know where we stand as Christians, whether we are winners or losers, victims or victors. Ultimately, it depends on the choices we make and the actions we take.

This power's runnin through my veins. (I'm gone) I can change if I wanna change. (I'm gone) Temptations drivin me insane. (I'm gone) Welcome to the Hunger Games.
The power of temptation fills you and you are struggling to resist. You have the power to change, but the constant conflict is taking a toll on you. It's akin to being a participant in the Hunger Games, where the battle is constantly ongoing and never-ending.

That's about the time you used to call out for another round. Now you gotta choose between life and the underground.
You used to indulge in more pleasures before, but now you have to make a choice between following a life of faith or giving into temptation and living an immoral life.

Feel like you owe it to yourself, don't you? Sin is magnetic (shhh) when it pulls ya. Tryna pull away but it keeps pushin, and you want it bad, but you know it's poison.
You feel like you deserve to indulge in these pleasures, and the pull of temptation is strong. You try to stay away from it, but it keeps drawing you in, even though you know deep down that it will have a negative effect on you.

If I need deliverance from gluttony and fine ladies I know I'm winnin with the strength that God gave me. (I'm gone)
With the strength that God has given you, you have the ability to overcome your struggles with overindulgence and enticement from women.

Preparation is the key. I'm on it, on my diet just the make it through the week. And man I know that all my strength is gon' be based on what I eat so then if I deny my belly then I'm faithful when I'm weak.
Preparing for the true fight against temptation is vital. You are focused on eating right and being disciplined with your diet to ensure that you stay strong in the face of temptation.
