"Old Man New Man" lyrics
Flame & 1517 Music Lyrics
(feat. Loso)
[Kid A:]
What is meant by such a water baptism?
[Kid B:]
Yeah, what's meant by that?
[Flame:]
It means, that that the old Adam in us should be drowned by daily sorrow and repentance and die with all sins and evil lusts, and, in turn, a new person daily come forth and rise from death again; he will live forever before God in righteousness and purity
[Kid A:]
Where is this written?
[Kid B:]
Yeah, tell us where?
[Flame:]
Saint Paul says to the Romans in Chapter 6, we are buried with Christ through baptism into death, so that, in the same way that Christ is risen from the dead by the glory of the Father, thus, also, we must walk in a new way
[Loso:]
Yeah yeah yeah, "preach the gospel to yourself, preach the go-"
Man, take some action bro
That whole mindset does not work
I mean look at you, haha
Another guy that lies
Says he's got the mind of Christ
Add on a front like it's monetized
I heard that death was on that plate for us but if he really ate ours, why I'm working out my salvation like a 9-to-5?
They tell these cats "Listen
"If you struggling with sin then look within and start remembering your baptism"
Man that's bad wisdom
All that does is give you grace and a copout so you don't have to act Christian
That's why I serve like its badminton
Curve all the bad women
Word in my background like I'm adlibin'
Read every verse that was handwritten
Those same guys (aight) will tell you that our works prove that he has risen
[Flame:]
You got a mean backstroke fasho, you're still talkin'
But I'm baptized though so go to your sealed coffin
Your little resurrections here and there
Ain't no use in trynna front
You brought a civil war in me but Jesus drowned you at the font
You my old master trynna troll, trynna get back control
Back to stackin', tollin' up my spiritual goals to save my soul
But it is no longer I who live but Christ who lives inside of me
Cause I died to you, you no longer reign inside of me
"We working out salvation on our own"? That's a lie
Read the rest of the verses, it's God who gives the will to do and desire
This ain't no copout to wile out, you always on your trip
Got a new identity, the baptized, Romans 6
[Loso:]
Okay, you like to praise sinners
And put a saint in a chokehold and don't grow, when he never pray with a
Confidants because they ain't winners
You tried to drown me when you got baptized but I'm a great swimmer
So tell me this, if I start asking about your life
To your pastor and your wife
Will they say you honor God or just an actor for the Christ
I'm laughing at this guy, you battling me but I'm not a factor in your life?
Yeah right!
[Flame:]
You can ask about my life, I ain't trynna dodge
I deserve death and hell, ain't got nothing to hide
Plus I serve a Savior who has suffered and has satisfied
Everything the Law has demanded on this man we have
United in His death and resurrection
Thanks be to God this wretch now has His perfection
Yeah, Romans 7 but keep reading Romans 8
Ain't no condemnation
Back to you watery grave, stay in your place
Yeah, the new man strong cause he got a strong Savior (That's facts)
United with Him in His death (I'm baptized, I'm baptized)
United with Him when He resurrect
(I'm baptized, I'm baptized)
