A Girl Named World
The Ambassador Lyrics

I used to date a girl named, "World."
I used to be enamored with the world's material possessions and lifestyle.

Sis was real glamorous arrayed up in diamonds and pearls
The world's material possessions - diamonds and pearls - were dazzling and alluring.

But now I've got a new best friend
I have a new relationship with Jesus that has replaced my former attachment to the world.

Because the world will leave you dry and watch you die in the end
The material possessions and lifestyle offered by the world are ultimately empty and futile, leading to spiritual death.

She was the baddest, the phattest, she was established
The world was seen as the most impressive, luxurious and well-established entity in my life.

And with her universal status - she had me livin' lavish
My association with the world allowed me to live luxuriously and extravagantly.

She knew about my sinful habits. She used to feed them
The world enabled and encouraged my sinful habits rather than discouraging them.

She offered me the fruits of lust (and yep) I used to eat them
The world offered me opportunities to indulge in sinful desires, which I once eagerly pursued.

She took my freedom. Warnings came, I wouldn't heed them
The world controlled my life and actions, despite warning signs that I should turn away.

And when I mentioned God she said, "Chill you don't need Him."
The world convinced me that I did not need God in my life, despite my attempts to seek Him.

I second-guessed this but then she pulled out those dresses, tight fittin' ones made by Mercedes and Lexus
The world distracted me from God's path by using material objects, such as designer clothing and luxury cars, to keep my attention.

Her neck just exploded with the fragrance of passion The aroma of fame, fortune, and fashion
The world radiated the tempting scent of passion, defined by the pursuit of fame, fortune, and fashion.

Snatching' my heart she romanced me, my plans be Lover for life make her, make her my wife, I can't see.
The world captivated my heart and mind, making me believe that it was a lifelong lover who deserved my commitment and loyalty.

breaking' up like I can't see me in a S girl This is dedicated to my ex-girl
I am breaking away from my former relationship with the world, and dedicating myself to my new relationship with Jesus.

The lust of the flesh
The desire to indulge in sinful, physical pleasures.

you bring your best to the city so Now sex is pushed through the radio and video
The world promotes sexual desires and pleasure through media platforms like radio and music videos.

All was chill we'd build and share thrills together She gave cheddar, we stayed close knit like a sweater
I found satisfaction in the pleasures of the world and was drawn into its community.

I gave her letters, secular rap format to better Inform her, "Miss I'm on ya, I'm down forever."
I wrote songs in a secular rap format that focused on my loyalty to the world.

I remarked, "Dear sweetheart let me spark the fire" "I admire the way you supply a brother's desire"
I believed that the world could satisfy my physical and emotional desires - something I admired.

Then the lust of the eyes You make sure guys look good to the girls and girls show more and more thighs
The world promotes a culture that values physical attractiveness, and encourages women to display their bodies for male attention.

You're wise, you know the pride of life makes us brag We're gassed on who we are, what we do and what we have
The world understands the human desire for pride and encourages bragging about possessions and accomplishments.

But tragically thoughts of loneliness be attackin' me You know how that can be so you offer me crack and weed
The world uses addictive substances to numb feelings of loneliness, which I once turned to in response to these thoughts.

Distractin' me from reality with pleasure Giving me treasure lettin' me indulge without measure
The world distracts me from true reality by offering temporary pleasures and the illusion of wealth and abundance.

Your hands out you want my soul in it plus the mastery Then you'll be mine with no limit just like Master P
The world wants control over my soul and offers the illusion of mastery and power like a master over his slave.

You captured me, I thought you were all I needed Until I found a Bible and decided to read it
The world had convinced me that it was all I needed, until I discovered the truth of the Bible and its message about Jesus and salvation.

I never could think that you could have any competition 'til sweated the Bible's Author and it's Editor
I never saw the world as competition until I studied the Bible, which taught me the truth about God and life.

You fretted to hear of the One that I met at the Appointed time, he kept coming' after me like a creditor
The world was upset to hear about my new relationship with Jesus, who pursued me with a persistent love like a creditor seeking repayment.

A date, we set it up, and the He showed me His nail prints Then the eternal scale and your riches started palin'
I set up a meeting with Jesus and He revealed His crucifixion wounds to me, which put the temporary riches of the world into a new perspective.

Now I know why my girl dissed Him Because the World pissed Him off and now he hates the whole world system
I now understand why the world dismisses Jesus - because He exposes the sin and emptiness of the world, and will eventually judge it.

In your heart I would hope you'd vote Messiah for President Cause life's too up and down like a dieters measurement
I urge you to choose Jesus as the leader of your life, because life is unpredictable and unstable.

It's evident the side of God is unattractive Because the world diamonds and the pearl have got you captured
The world's material possessions make it difficult to see the attractiveness of a life with God.

If their love is greater you can have them But who died so new lives can come to the son's of Adam
If the love of the world is greater, you can choose to pursue it - but Jesus sacrificed His life so that humanity could experience new life and redemption.

So don't miss the crucial nature of the crucifixion With diction I'll stress this one
Do not underestimate the significance of Jesus' crucifixion and the price He paid for our redemption.

If Jesus Christ wasn't nailed to The Cross Movement If there was no blood lost we'd have to pay our own cost
If Jesus had not died on the cross, humans would have to pay the cost of their own sins - which is impossible.

Who can pay for their own sins Next to God grown men become little girls with no ends
No one can pay for their own sins, and in comparison to God, even the strongest men are powerless and helpless.

Daily my mind gets revamped And on the Lord there's more concentration than a camp
Each day, my way of thinking is transformed to align with God's will, and my focus on Him intensifies like a gathering in a camp.

God stamps His divine approval On the One who puts God the Son in the forefront on the usual
God approves of those who give priority to Jesus in their lives and keep Him at the forefront of all they do.

Fools will bow down to a dead president And turn around and say there's no God despite the evidence
Some people worship dead presidents and deny the existence of God, despite the evidence that points to His existence and power.

I recommend we prepare for the reckoning He didn't have to go out on a limb
I urge us to prepare for the day of judgment, and remember that Jesus chose to save us even though it was not a requirement for Him to do so.

[Chorus]
Repeating the message that Jesus is my new best friend and that the world will ultimately leave us dry and defeated.
