Profit Lyrics by Ray Curenton

Believer, a.k.a. The Last Shall Be the First

2023

[Verse 1]
Was a while, and naysayers nay-say
Believed that things would never change
(Com)pulsive individualism
Yet in time, every tide starts turning
So it’s best you start discerning
And give up materialism
[PreChorus]
But if it feels good, why do you need self-control?
Power might lift you, but never will make you whole
Don’t want to worry, so you push the thought away
Of pending Judgement Day
But what if it’s today?
[Chorus]
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
And they find that your good fruits have been few?
How would you explain what you pursue
If you gained the world to lose your soul?
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
And thеy don’t see it from your point of view?
How you gonna live your life brand nеw?
Would you gain the world to lose your soul?
[Verse 2]
No need for feckless banter
The question’s already answered:
(Do) desperate times call for same measures?
To be sure, the people will rise up
Seize the land, distribute, and destruct
Deceptive symbols of pleasures
[PreChorus]
But if it feels good, why do you need self-control?
Power might lift you, but never will make you whole
Don’t want to worry, so you push the thought away
Of pending Judgement Day
But what if it’s today?
[Chorus]
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
And they find that your good fruits have been few?
How would you explain what you pursue
If you gained the world to lose your soul?
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
And they don’t see it from your point of view?
How you gonna live your life brand new?
Would you gain the world to lose your soul?
[Bridge]
(What if it’s today?)
Too consumed with the wealth that you could save
But that’s nothing you can take to your grave
(What if it’s too late?)
Is this really what you’ll die for?
Really what you’ll die for? You’ll die for?
[Chorus]
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
And they find that your good fruits have been few?
How would you explain what you pursue
If you gained the world to lose your soul?
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
And they don’t see it from your point of view?
How you gonna live your life brand new?
Would you gain the world to lose your soul?
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
And they find that your good fruits have been few?
How would you explain what you pursue
If you gained the world to lose your soul?
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
And they don’t see it from your point of view?
How you gonna live your life brand new?
Would you gain the world to lose your soul?
