They ain't good, you know they ain't good and I wanna tell you why. You wanna be a good man you look at me. I'm goona talk to you about humility, 'cause I got it. I wanna talk to you 'bout rightousness, 'cause I got it. I'm good. I'm humble. I'm better than you. You wanna be a humble man, you look at me. You say, "brother how can I be humble?" I don't know how you can be humble. It took me a long time to get this way. Thank God I've arrived. Let's pray. Aus Songtexte Mania
