Viktory told me to use the beat the words came one day while sitting outside on the porch.
Lyrics
Teeter Totter
Written by k-Drama
Produced by Platinum Tips

Verse 1
The Lord touched my lips and put His words in my mouth/
And like lukewarm saints, these words I'm gonna spit em out/
I have no worries because they call my Lord Jehovah Jireh/
And in case you don't know that means He's my provider/
Anything according His will He'll equip me with/
Money, cars, beats, rhymes, all for his benefit/
I hide his words in my heart so that I'll remember it/
So if I get famous then my will I'll surrender it/
My aim is not to flame the fame/
I frame the flame and daily maintain the name/
that reigns over every name, so I refrain the gain/
Of selfish pleasures, He came for pain/
Died on the cross so that I'll never be the same/
Once I confess my sins and become born again/
Most Christians don't last that long, but I believe in His word/
That's why my stability is strong/

Chorus
They go back and forth (4x)
They go up and down (4x)
Like Teeter Totters (8x)

Verse 2
Yo!!! It's only in His word that I'm stable/
Most Christians are unstable like 3 legged tables/
I must admit, discipline isn't easy/
I know I make it look simple but you gots to believe me/
Ya boy catches the bus to shows, waiting in the cold/
Feeling like an eskimo/
Holy pockets but I ain't heading to the check and go/
Stressed out my folk, and I be the 1st to let you know/
Can't be American Idol, so my Clay be Aiken (Aching)/
But I trust in the potter who molds me, there's no mistaking/
But sometimes I feel like Habukkak/
The wicked compasses the righteous is how that looks/
They seem not to reap what they sow and/
It seems like you won't pay what you owe but/
I trust in you regardless of how things look/
Cause I believe in every word in that Holy Book/

Chorus
They go back and forth (4x)
They go up and down (4x)
Like Teeter Totters (8x)

Verse 3
The flesh is never satisfied, in His Word I'm stable/
The Word has power, in Him I'm enabled/
To mortify sin and subjucate any desire/
Esteeming itself higher than my Lord's empire/
The work God gave me doesn't ensure my stability/
The fear of the Lord does, I dwell in His facility/
Without obedience, I couldn't not facilitate ministry/
And I would be worse than carnal rappers in the industry/
Many don't seek His kingdom 1st/
And that's why many in the kingdom thrist/
Cause the effects of sin are only temporary/
I've tried it before and found out sin ain't meant to carry/
Me through hard times, I cast my cares on Jesus/
We have a partnership, God really needs/
But we gotta put him 1st and not our rap ministries/
If we put Him 1st then we'll become everything we're meant to be/

Chorus
They go back and forth (4x)
They go up and down (4x)
Like Teeter Totters (8x)
