Ain't For Sale

There's a snake who lies and waits, and his prey is a praying man

Who lies awake with the what to do's

And the taunting you with a taste of that forbidden fruit

Yeah, every day's a day to beat the one before

But temptation's knocking at the door

It's 3 a.m., I ain't sleeping again

I'm pleading with God to fight off what I can't fend

Oh no, I'll be damned if that ole devil's waiting for me to fail

But this soul of mine, it ain't for sale

Dollar signs and dotted lines

Is it worth losing that peace of mind?

For the fancy things, are they what they seem?

When you can't cut those puppet strings

Is it really how it oughta be?

It's 3 a.m., I ain't sleeping again

Pleading with God to fight off what I can't fend

Oh Lord, I'll be damned if that ole devil's waiting for me to fail

But this soul of mine, it ain't for sale

Yeah, go and get behind me, Satan, in the shadow of the valley

Burdened, but I'm certain 'bout that ole rod and staff that comforts me

A company of angels fightin' tooth and nail again

Lord, forgive me, give me grace and get me through the night

It's 3 a.m., I ain't sleeping again

Pleading with God to fight off what I can't fend

Oh no, I'll be damned if that ole devil's waiting for me to fail

But this soul of mine, it ain't for sale

No, this soul of mine, it ain't for sale

Naw, this soul of mine, it ain't for sale
