Sophia

Sophia in the Greek translation means Wisdom

CHORUS:

Standing on the streets and the crossroads

Yelling her ways are better than gold

You’ve tried everything else now try this

Pay attention grow wise we’re giving you guidance

Bridge:

I’ve run so far
I don’t even know who you are

(Verse 1):

I’m the kind of guy that everyone likes
Mainly because I people please and do what is right
Tell the world how my life without her would be dismayed
What a shame, I only know her on Sundays
From Monday through Saturday don’t look her in the eye
I can’t convince the image in the mirror not to compromise
Kills her that I’m living two lives to be loved externally
While internally I’m so despised.
The root of this is real simple
I’ve obtained a religion
Making my relationship with her crippled
I’ve pushed her so far away
That even with insight and direction we’ve gone astray
I remember when she honored and exalted me
When I esteemed her, but now
That seems too costly
And she’s gentle she won’t try to force me
Joyful when I find you, I gotta be lost see
When pride comes, disgrace isn’t far-gone
With humility we’ll be so right
Yet I’m torn
Wants to share her heart and make me like her
For me to listen to her counsel is her desire
Without her I’m lost with her I’m handcuffed
Cause’ no matter what I do it’s never enough
And every time I try to fight it off I feel useless
The truth is I keep on hearing these excuses

(Hook):

I wear my cross on my neck
I never said a swear
Always on time to church and everyday I say my prayers
When it comes to growing spiritually I keep on stallin’
I guess I stall knowing that wisdoms calling

I wear my cross on my neck
I never said a swear
Always on time to church and everyday I say my prayers
What’s the point of Christianity, I keep on falling
I guess I should hold on though, Wisdoms Calling

(Verse 2):

You said you loved me cause’ I loved you
And I seek you
But truthfully I’ve been so deceitful
Tasting the world’s menu, I’ve been indulging
Mainly cause I’m foolish
I’m so impulsive and
Impulsiveness leads to irrational decisions
What makes it worse, is it causes collisions
Its always me messing up, you sit there and chill
Calmly tell me, I should drink water only from my well
You know I haven’t been faithful you’re not upset
I guess its true familiarity breed’s contempt
I got complacent, when did it start
She would say, if I want life to guard my heart but
If water reflects a face and a heart reflects a man
I guess I’m known as jealous Joe dirt
But if your love can cover my multitude of wrongs
I guess its true love won’t hurt
My wrath is, like a flood, my anger is cruel
My jealousy’s even worse, my insecurities rule
I can’t stand to see you with others
They understand you, I can’t cause’ my hearts to cluttered
My life is backwards but now the roads meeting the rubber
Cause’ I realize I prevent me from loving her
And every time I try I to shrug it off I feel useless the truth is
I keep on giving these excuses.

Verse 3

This woman is a priceless jewel

So don't play her for a worthless fool

Because the worthless fool has a clever endeavor

To make you say "whatever" to wisdom whenever

(She's calling you)

But instead of blowing her off you should sweat her

A precious gift from the great shepherd

She'll make you better

And you can say that she is life's tour guide

Open's wide essential sights that are blind to your eyes

Make her Lord apart of your anatomy

And he'll erase wrongs to draw you near

That's the point of Christianity

She's one in a million yeah

I rather be with her than to be a millionaire

If there are no takers I'll take her

For without her I fall short of glory like the '08 Lakers

And you've run so far

But please believe her Father still knows who you are

You are why his Son agreed to have his hands scarred

Folly's a fraud so answer whenever wisdom calls
