Verse 1
Satan don't test me cause I'm ready/ I'm steadfast and firm/ You like a wild fire, you want spread fast and burn/ But ain't no burning here cause Imma read, study, and learn/ Bout everything you try, I seen it coming and turned/ My father taught me your tactics like scientific theory/ If it denies Jesus then I don't want to hear it/ I see your purpose clearly, you want me where you are/ Cast away forever, a disgrace to God/ But my reaction, Nah, I don't think so man/ Tell me what you think I strive to be a saint for man/ I'm headed to a place that you can't go man/ So you could try to stop me, but you ain't gon' man/ I got a one track mind and that's to serve my God/ Jesus Christ is my savior and I love my Lord/ There's nothing that you could say to me to change that boy/ My faith strong as a rock so it's concrete hard
Hook:
I got my armor strapped on ready for war/ Well prepared for my rival/ I got my backup from the sky/ and on my side/ My only weapon, that's my Bible (2x's)
Verse 2
Satan I know you plottin on me/ Trynna ponder how you gon' strike me next/ Find my weakness and entice my flesh/ But oh no, I'm on hold like I just took my last deep breathe/ For his arrival, J.E.S.U.S/ I'm a soldier for the kingdom, you won't take me down/ Tomorrow ain't guaranteed so I'm pure right now/ Got my mind on my mission for my pure white gown/ Cause when he come don't want him asking you was pure like how/ Snap a picture of me quick like I'm on most wanted/ Cause I'm fleeing from evil and I'm dodging the torment/ Know my flesh could turn on me on any giving day/ So when temptation get near I'm steady running away/ I keep my Bible open cause I needs my strength/ Perfection I don't possess so I urge to repent/ I turn my back and walk away from those that urge me to sin/ And if the insist to persist then I serve them with this
Hook (2x's)
Verse 3
I see the abundance of tears in the end when the judgment is made/ When reality comes crashing like a drug raid/ The war for the righteous is over, the wicked has lost/ The job is complete and it's time to report to the boss/ I hope you saved and you ain't headed with that bottom half/ Cause there's a lake of fire waiting like a hot bath/ Think it's a joke, I guarantee you will not laugh/ Cause the option to stop the torture you will not have/ Why don't you sell out to the world while you have a chance/ Join the righteous fo' he call for the last dance/ Be a soldier for the Lord, that's you a blessed man/ Open your heart to God, that's your best plan/ Cause if you don't you giving Satan the right of way/ You sleep walking, you will never see a brighter day/ You sleep walking, you will never see a brighter day/ But if you for him you could stand and say
