V Squad - Sober Up

Hard liquor straight, back to back with no chaser
I thought it was cool to say; I can function completely wasted
Whether drowning sorrows away, a party a celebration
Or just wasting the day away, I didn't need a special occasion
I took tequila shots in the middle of the day
Like; man I'm straight, long as I don't display addictive behavior
I wanted to see if my efficiency would increase or weaken
In hopes that if needed I could sneak a drink at my convenience
Blindly in denial, the pain that was there existed
Ignoring my convictions, liquor was my way to dismiss it
Claiming to be a Christian
But the way I was living contradicted what I learned from the pages that's in the Scriptures
Looking back God I'm grateful for all the grace I've been given
While chasing after the wind, I've made a range of vain decisions
Imitated the wicked, been dismayed, discontent
And the liquor never fixed these issues that's why I had to sober up
For all intents and purpose don't misinterpret these verses that I'm spittin
This is not a Church Sermon, just my personal convictions
Paul urged me not to get drunk, but be filled with the spirit
And I'm a doer of the Word, not just merely a hearer
Now if I'm just being honest, the hardest part in all this
Was tryna figure out, how Ima tell all my friends
Should I skip out on all the parties, would my soberness be a downer?
Once they find out I've put the bottle down, will they still come around me?
Will they commend me or condemn me? Assist me, or resent me?
Encourage or discourage and try to tempt me?
Will I become the judgmental typical hypocritical Christian?
Pointing fingers, like I didn't just overcome the addiction
Or will I be conflicted? They split the difference
Half got my back in the trenches, the other fake listen, showing fake interest, fixing me mixed drinks
That's why this isn't, open to no opinions
I'm Spirit living, had to sober up
