Dancing With the Bear
Jan A.P. Kaczmarek Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The devil knocked up on my door I almost let him in
I didn't even mean to do it
I just need a friend
I know the Lord forgives me every time I sin
I guess that's why I say a prayer and go and sin again
Man, I just need to get a bag
I need to make it big
I just need a new whip
and some new land
I'm tryna come up off this rap
Grown my dividends
I guess the devil see my prayin
He tryna prey on me
But nah I know my faith
I know the Lord true
the reason might be lackin
But I know it's all for you
Envy kills
Greed for green
Lackin trust
What's it mean
Ima speak what is real
Until the day you come for me
(Woah ohh)

Sale my soul to who
I could never take that route
I'm just doing what I love
Never been in it for clout
Thank the man that's above
For providing me a way
Saw that real dark path
But I chose the heaven gates

Round two
I'm coming in swinging
Got the plate of righteousness
I'm resisting temptation
Feel your grace as walk
That's why ima take a stand
Not afraid to share my faith
Im a God fearing man
Slam the door
Turn the lock
Got my sword of the word
Let 'em knock
Not a new found sense of faith
Might of tripped along the way
I'm just here to let you
That I'm God is here to stay

Sale my soul to who
I could never take that route
I'm just doing what I love
Never been in it for clout
Thank the man that's above
For providing me a way




Saw that real dark path
But I chose the heaven gates
