It seems like bein "Fresh" is an obsession these days,
Everybody out here stuntin, just tryna be fly
But man, please lemme know what comes after this phase?
And who gets to decide what "fresh" is and why?
Come holla at me lil homie, can u tell me wut's fresh?
And if you really kno the secret, can u tell me what's next?

For people today the most important thing is appearance
It's social suicide to buy clothes sold on clearance
But this materialistic point of view is false and incomplete
That's why the following is what i say to everyone i meet:
"You try to tell me that being fresh is about what I wear
I’ll tell you bout all the homeless people livin out there
You try to tell me that I need to buy myself some new clothes
I’ll show you families on the streets whose houses got foreclosed
You try to tell me that my wardrobe is cheap, wack, and old news
I’ll show you pictures of my boy who only wears prison hues
Cuz trust me, I once had the same outlook as you do
Avoiding bamas like the plague if they were rockin FUBU
I wouldn't step out of the house if I wasn't lookin fly
My head was full of hot air that had me floatin SO high
Cuz I thought I was THAT GUY, you know exactly what I'm talkin bout
The arrogant, popular dude who never fails to run his mouth
Thinks he's so much better than all the people around him
And that's why fake, materialistic people surround him
Cuz he up with all the new gear, he rock all the new styles
And anybody who don't is hated on and reviled
But I changed because I saw the consequences of my vanity
And the way that my actions had been affectin my family
I realized that my value has nothing to do with objects
Finally started to understand some of these vital concepts
Like the fact that every person on this earth is in my fam
And the fact that God lives inside every woman and man
I found out that my value comes from my virtue and my deeds
And that every kind act takes root and spreads its seeds"

So if you think I should go spend money on new gear
Go to the mall and buy myself useless material possessions
Then obviously your view of the world ain’t clear
You don't realize the beauty of this life that u’ve been blessed with
Cuz homie life is a blessing, open your eyes and take it in
Value don't come from your swagg my dude it comes from Him
