Verse 1:
Believe me when I tell you this/
The world is wicked there no telling what they’ll do next/
But I don’t even have to focus on the evil without/
I got enough reasonable doubt/
Within me to send me to the chair that clear/
If I stare looking at a crooked cat in the mirror/
Who me? Truly the enemy is the inner me/
Nothing but me in the vicinity squared/
That’s two isn’t it/
I don’t know how to configure it/
Or what digit to hit to make the equation equivalent/
All I know is there a war going on/
And my sinful nature seems to be the source of it all/
If I could get rid of it I be further along/
And I wouldn’t be standing here singing the words of this song/
And it goes what I don’t want to do/
I do I pursue what I shouldn’t if I could I sue/
(Who?) This other me loves me to the death/
And would literally die just to satisfy my flesh/
It takes every breath and blessing that God gives/
Just to use it as a weapon against Him/
Takes every good and perfect gift that comes from above/
And perverts it like love gets changed for lust/
It’s dangerous like taking gusts of angel dust/
When God displays disgust/
‘Cause we reject His ways even though His ways are just/
I’m stuck with a old nature that’s corrupt/
And plus incapable of pleasing God believe I tried and/
Succeeded not but then Jesus died and rose again/
He clothes us in a new nature so the old one won’t win/
Now I’m opposing sin and natural whims/
But that’s when this battle begins

Hook:
There’s a war going on/
Sure you’re right sure you’re wrong/
Who said that? You dead that you’re strong but God is stronger/
Lord help me conquer this monster/
The Incredible Walk

Verse 2:
If you look from the outside in through skin/
You’ll meet the me that was born in sin/
But if you go from the inside out you’ll meet the new me born again/
About ten years ago/
Ten years to grow and here we go in stereo/
Got two inputs right and left/
Asking are you down for life or death/
Check this new me is truly weird/
It trusts God where I used to be scared/
And I’m like what? That’s all about walking out/
Faith when I thought I had a cause to doubt/
I’m telling y’all it’s a trip/
Now I’m getting equipped/
To rep the God of the biblical scriptures/
Motivated by a visual clip of the life of Christ and the Cross is the pivotal picture/
Like an old film digitally fixed up the image is so vivid digits/
Register on the Richter/
So now even if it takes a while/
I’m only trying to see what’s gonna make God smile/
In contrast to the me of times past/
Quick and illegitimate willing to commit a crime fast/
Now I serve the Lord with zeal/
And stay sobered up and soldiered up cause the war is real/
Not fighting with a sword of steal/
But slicing with a spiritual sword that sure to peel/
Soul from spirit and flesh from bone/
And I roll with the Spirit never left alone/
Plus my click is more consistent than the metronome/
When it comes to letting Christ set the tone/
So daily my sinful side is outlined in legible chalk/
Letting my new insides outside it’s The Incredible Walk
