Ben Meshael David - Temptation

It's crazy, it's crazy, yo
Yeah, bro
Certain things happen
I don't know, you don't even know what you're gonna do

Right, bro
Yeah
Hook
Can I fight temptation
Can I win against the flesh
I do my best not to fall victim , but sometimes I be stressed
Can you fight temptation
You always win against your flesh
When everywhere that you turn, everything's marketed through sex
I gotta fight temptation
I gotta win against the flesh
Cause them soul ties be real, and it's detrimental to your health
We will fight temptation
We will win against the flesh
Cause the repercussions from lack of discipline leaves hope bereft

I'm at the gym, tryna get my workout on
You know I'm focused
Peripherals catches a young lady tryna get noticed
Is it me?
Distracted for a moment, lost count of my rep
Could it be?
I'm delusional and she ain't even notice me
I scan the mirror, we catch eye contact
Now she walking over, asking me for my contact
She said I look strong and my eyes wise
She need a trainer
Can I oblige
Decided to share my info to keep in touch business-wise

The whole moment was so surreal
Told myself to concentrate and chill
I felt like I was prey on a Serengeti, bro
It was unreal
Felt like more than a business deal, but I hope that's all she wanted
Times have changed when the hunter becomes the hunted

Can I fight temptation
Can I win against the flesh
I do my best not to fall victim , but sometimes I be stressed
Can you fight temptation
You always win against your flesh
When everywhere that you turn, everything's marketed through sex
I gotta fight temptation
I gotta win against the flesh
Cause them soul ties be real, and it's detrimental to your health
We will fight temptation
We will win against the flesh
Cause the repercussions from lack of discipline leaves hope bereft

It was all business for a good minute
We hit the gym until we finished
Send me the cashapp when it ended
It's an agreement, it's not a friendship
I just be focused on grinding and getting a bag
I'm building my mind, and building my stash
Never crossing the line, to keep it stack
Now she rolling her eyes to act like she mad
Asking me why I'm so formal
I ain't feeling her, that ain't normal
Invited to finish the night at her crib, but that's not what I'm going to do
I could tell she was lost and feeling confused
Cause no, it's not what she was used to
So used to the lust and men that just rush
Not realizing that's abuse too
We gotta do better when dealing with people, especially with empty attractions
You playing with hearts, and playing with thoughts and wonder why people start spazzing
What's the root cause of their action
It's a real question you should be asking
Ambiguity leads to promiscuity from trauma that they've been masking

Can I fight temptation
Can I win against the flesh
I do my best not to fall victim , but sometimes I be stressed
Can you fight temptation
You always win against your flesh
When everywhere that you turn, everything's marketed through sex
I gotta fight temptation
I gotta win against the flesh
Cause them soul ties be real, and it's detrimental to your health
We will fight temptation
We will win against the flesh
Cause the repercussions from lack of discipline leaves hope bereft
