Put On
Flame Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feelin' like a million, I don't even need them dollars
Lookin' brand new, I ain't even been shoppin'
The price of what I got no couldn't fit up in your pocket
Takin' off the old self, Christ what we rockin'
Takin' off the old, puttin' on the new
This is what it does, this is what it do
Takin' off the old, puttin' on the new
This is what it does, this is what it do

See, a lotta girls want change so they go to the salon
Lotta dudes want change so they go to the Qur'an
But I can see the end ‘cause I've been where you begun
Where you're so in love with fun sippin' Don Perrion
But you can't see the Son, talkin' S-O-N
‘Cause you're blind to the Son of Man, dyin' in your sin
You might simply deny because of Bentleys you ride
But you're empty inside like they just broke in
That's why you spend a lot of money tryna shop until you drop
If you're out there lookin' hot, that'll make up for what you not
But you can't compare your clothes to Jesus' wardrobe
Talkin' righteousness robes, man your outfit is snot
But Jesus bled homie, I hope you feel this
Real nails got banged in that holy wrist
Real hammers got banged in the spike nail
By his stripes we are healed, tell ‘em how I feel

Feelin' like a million, I don't even need them dollars
Lookin' brand new, I ain't even been shoppin'
The price of what I got no couldn't fit up in your pocket
Takin' off the old self, Christ what we rockin'
Takin' off the old, puttin' on the new
This is what it was, this is what it do
Takin' off the old, puttin' on the new
This is what it was, this is what it do

I am not my own, lil homie, I been further convinced of that
My life should make music to God, where is my instrument?
Oh yeah, I guess I'm usin' it right now
My life is loud, they say I need to pipe down
I used to think that I was runnin' the show
Jesus traced my steps back like runnin' in snow
It looks familiar like ya done it befo'
A hundred percent, fo' sho, maybe a hundred and four
I know, we all think that we are God on the throne
‘Cause we got some new kicks and they ain't got ‘em at home
Or ‘cause you got a new chick that you got in the zone
Or ‘cause you got a new whip, got you ridin' on chrome
Or I'll tell you what it is, I'll tell you what it really mean
That God's wrath's on your head like the guillotine
You're flyin' high like the bird from the Philly team
You need to get tight with Christ like them skinny jeans

Feelin' like a million, I don't even need them dollars
Lookin' brand new, I ain't even been shoppin'
The price of what I got no couldn't fit up in your pocket
Takin' off the old self, Christ what we rockin'
Takin' off the old, puttin' on the new
This is what it was, this is what it do
Takin' off the old, puttin' on the new
This is what it was, this is what it do

See it's this little thing called faith that God places in our hands
Then we take it and embrace it, then it makes us a new man
Matter fact, a new creation ‘cause the old has passed away
Now the new has been embraced and now we take the narrow way
If you hidin' from the Christ, do this for the first time
But if you're already God's do it time after time
And then time after time and then time and time again
Be puttin' on righteousness and puttin' off your sin
Let the thief no longer steal but rather get a job
Share with anyone in need as you're workin' unto God
Let the liar tell the truth, let the gossip all cease
We are members of one another so incorrupt speech
We do not wanna grieve the Holy Spirit of our God
Who has sealed us till the day of redemption, now listen ya'll
Grace for the task is what we've been given
Goin' hard after God, that's how you live when you're forgiven

Feelin' like a million, I don't even need them dollars
Lookin' brand new, I ain't even been shoppin'
The price of what I got no couldn't fit up in your pocket
Takin' off the old self, Christ what we rockin'
Takin' off the old, puttin' on the new
This is what it was, this is what it do




Takin' off the old, puttin' on the new
This is what it was, this is what it do

Overall Meaning

Flame and C-Lite's song Put On is a powerful message about taking off the old self, and putting on the new self with Christ. The lyrics explain that feeling like a million has nothing to do with material possessions; rather it is about the transformation that comes with walking with Christ. The song advocates for a lifestyle that embraces righteousness, truth, kindness, and honesty while rejecting the negative traits of gossip, thievery, and lying.


The song encourages listeners to embrace faith and make a change in their lives. People who are struggling with different issues such as self-worth, greed, and untruthfulness, strive to cover up their struggles with material possessions. However, the song suggests that Christ can fill the void in their lives, and they don't need to seek validation through tangible things.


The significance of the song is that it highlights the importance of living a virtuous lifestyle that pleases God. To put on the new self, we must be willing to leave behind the old ways and embrace Christ’s teachings by exercising faith, promoting justice, and doing good to everyone. The song is a call for action to self-correct, put faith in God, and walk in righteousness.
