Don't Let It Go to Your Head

"Don't let it go to Your Head."

My Sisters many of you think you're the
shizzle because of the Lies your shape draws.
You need to know that having pride
and ego fill your flesh is a deadly flaw.
Satan sends those with charming,
flattering words that eventually bring you down.
Many let their shapes go to their heads and
when they lose it many who criticize come around.
Pride destroys many you should know
they're not worshipping you no one's that fine.
Whatever goes up (swollen heads) must come down
your bubble will burst and that's the bottom line.
Don't let it go to your head this goes for the Brothers
who let their pride take them down that road too.
You heard the lies that expanded your head now
you have that expanded waist line like Santa don't you.
You used to pull your shirt off so the Sisters could
see your six pack, now you're drinking one.
Being full of self, self absorbed, will be the down fall
of many before it's all done.
Two women told me when they were fine and
filled with pride they would not have looked at me.
But they aren't getting the same attention
since they aren't those fine things they used to be.
When you're not as desirable anymore the
Booty Bandits aren't as eager to get in your face.
But the Lost don't care what you look like
their main concern is below your waist.
If your heart isn't right it doesn't matter what
you look like except to the Lost with sex on their mind.
They'll tell you what you want and like to hear
in hopes of getting in your behind.
Yah isn't concerned with if you're slim, fine,
thick, or fat but it's your heart that pleases Him.
Your flesh only pleases yourself and others who
don't count at the end of the day I mean any of them.
Don't let it go to your head humility will come
in the form of hurt, you just wait.
There's many who no longer hear the Cat calls or
he's fine, but are finding comfort in front of a plate.
