Silver & Gold
Flame Lyrics

We gon live by the call
We will live according to our faith and beliefs

That's the only way we know
It is our only guiding principle

I'd rather have Jesus than silver and gold
I value my relationship with Jesus more than material wealth

Everybody chasing after dollars but
Everyone is pursuing money, but

When I'm chasing after Jesus
When I prioritize my relationship with Jesus

They chasing silver and gold
Others are pursuing material possessions

He said he would ride for the bag
He claimed he would do anything for money

Said he even would kill, said he
He even mentioned being willing to kill

Would lie for the bag
He would deceive for monetary gain

Man your Bible he will said
Man, your Bible has stated

He would die for it
He would sacrifice his life for it

Said he'd ride for it, make the
He said he'd support it, making

Block look like July 4th
The streets resemble a celebration

Your mamas cry for it, even if you
Your mothers cry for it, even if you

Rack it up and stack it up
Accumulate and amass wealth

It ain't gonna save nah cause
It will not save, because

When you add it up
When you calculate it

You subtracting it ain't gon' pray
You are subtracting, not praying

Aww cursing my rap
Unfortunately, criticizing my style of music

Know that I'm saved, making minimum wage
Understand that I am saved, earning a low income

At least my sins have been paid for
At least my sins have been forgiven

Guess I'm just trying to say
I suppose I am trying to convey

Rich man holding onto money
Wealthy individuals clinging to their riches

Trying to maintain, broke man trying to get
Attempting to preserve their wealth, while poor individuals strive to acquire

The money, doing anything
Engaging in any means necessary

Middle class see that little bag
Middle-class individuals notice a small amount of money

And then it fade away
But it quickly disappears

But when you getting tinting price you
However, when you gain spiritual enlightenment

Cool with it either way
You become content regardless of the outcome

Trick they get it by any means
They deceive others to acquire wealth through any method

We do not feed into greed
We do not participate in the pursuit of excessive material possessions

Love of money root of evil
The excessive love for money is the cause of evil

You can really gain the world
You may acquire worldly possessions

And lose your soul
But in the process, lose your spiritual essence

Jesus I'm in love with you
Jesus, I have a deep affection for you

I would rather have love and joy, God's peace
I prefer to possess love, joy, and peace from God

Talk to them, talk to them, talk to them
Let me address them, address them, address them

So we living by the call, so
Therefore, we are living according to our faith

We living by the call
We are following our principles

It don't never get old, it
It never gets old, it

Don't never get old
Never becomes tiresome

Jesus over everything yeah
Jesus is prioritized over everything, yes

It's Jesus over everything, it's
It is Jesus above all else, it is

Jesus over everything
Jesus takes precedence

Jesus over everything, it's
Jesus over everything, it is

Jesus over everything
Jesus is superior to everything

It's Jesus over everything
Jesus is above all else

I would rather have Jesus over everything
I would choose Jesus above all else

I'd rather have Jesus, I've
I prefer Jesus, I have been

Been chasing after dollars
Pursuing money relentlessly

No way it's Jesus over everything
In no way is Jesus below anything, Jesus is above all else

But I'd rather have Jesus
Yet, I would choose Jesus

It's Jesus over everything, you
Jesus takes precedence, you

Can have this world
This world can be yours

I don't want, I don't want
I do not desire, I do not desire

It, I'd rather have Jesus
Material possessions, I would choose Jesus

I'd rather have Jesus than silver and gold
I would prefer Jesus instead of material wealth

Everybody chasing after dollars but
Everyone is in pursuit of money, but

I'd rather have Jesus
I prefer to have Jesus

Than silver and gold woo yeah
Rather than silver and gold, wooh yeah

Man I'm chasing after Jesus than
Man, I am pursuing Jesus instead of

Chasing silver and gold uh
Pursuing material wealth, uh

Everybody chasing after money but
Everyone is pursuing money, but

I would choose Jesus over material wealth
