"TEMPTATION"

[Whole song in (Dm)]

Verse 1 [Rap]
Bad Boy, the Devil, will use what he choose,
Ex-angel of light with some messed up screws,
Using what he can to make the good ones fall.
"C'mon, do a little, it's not so bad after all."
Like a chink in the dyke, like a leaky water hose,
Just a drip at a time, like the camel's nose.
I'm not gonna repeat the things you already know,
But letting it happen, well, man, that really blows.

Verse 2 [Rap]
The sights, the sounds, the moving all around,
Contraptions, distractions, then take a little ground.
Stalking about like a roaring lion,
Telling half truths, which is just like lying.
Sugar-coated pill that looks worth while trying,
Pandy's little box that will just leave you dying.
Shoot up prayer, and don't just shoot the flap,
'Cause the surest of things might just well be a trap.

Chorus 1 [sung]
Temptation high, temptation low,
Temptation everywhere you go.
Let me tell you now, if you don't know,
Pleasures of the world are to entice your soul.

Verse 3 [Rap]
You're a high commander, a leader of the Cause,
Too strong to be stopped, so bad boy gives a pause,
Sending his henchmen to infiltrate the Best,
Teasing and testing, and, well, you know the rest.
A vision is a goal in the state of mind.
If he can cut your vision, the goals are losing time.
Mosquitoes who won't quit looking through the night,
It's just when you start sleeping that, ouch, here comes the bite.

Verse 4 [Rap]
The son of God, perfect in His ways,
Even He got tempted for four zero days.
His Connection, the Life Source, couldn't have blips.
He was tempted and tried to see if He would quit.
Kingdoms of the Earth were His for the havin',
"Just bow down to me," said the Bad Boy lyin'.
Temptation's only bad if you're deceived by the fakin',
So do what Jesus did, say, "Get behind Me, Satan!"

Chorus 2 [sung/Rap]
Temptation high, temptation low,
[Temptation high, temptation low, temptation everywhere you go.]
Temptation everywhere you go.
[Some men's poison is other's meat, some leave when they can; others take a seat.]
Let me tell you now, if you don't know,
[Temptation high, temptation low, temptation everywhere you go.]
Pleasures of the world are to entice your soul.
[Where you think you're strong, you might be weak.
He cannot defeat you, so all he does is cheat.]

Music break:

Chorus 3 [sung/Rap]
Temptation high, temptation low,
[Temptation high, temptation low, temptation everywhere and every place you go.]
Temptation everywhere you go.
[Let me tell you now, if you don't know, pleasures of the world are to entice your soul.]
Let me tell you now, if you don't know,
[Temptation high, temptation low, temptation everywhere and every place you go.]
Pleasures of the world are to entice your soul.
[Let me tell you now, if you don't know, pleasures of the world are to entice your soul.]

Chorus 4 [sung/Rap]
Temptation high, temptation low,
[Temptation high, temptation low, temptation everywhere and every place you go.]
[Temptation high, temptation low, temptation everywhere you go.]
Temptation everywhere you go.
[Let me tell you now, if you don't know, pleasures of the world are to entice your soul.]
[Some men's poison is other's meat, some leave when they can; others take a seat.]
Let me tell you now, if you don't know,
[Temptation high, temptation low, temptation everywhere and every place you go.]
[Temptation high, temptation low, temptation everywhere you go.]
Pleasures of the world are to entice your soul.
[Let me tell you now, if you don't know, pleasures of the world are to entice your soul.]
[Where you think you're strong, you might be weak.
He cannot defeat you, so all he does is cheat.]
