Fighting Temptation Lyrics

Da, da, da, da, da, da, heyWe gon' fight, ah
Whoo, gon' fight
Lemme hear you sayI'm fighting temptation, I'm fighting temptation
I'm fighting, fighting
Fighting temptation, I'm fighting temptation
I'm fighting, fightingFighting temptation, I'm fighting temptation
I'm fighting, fighting
Fighting temptation, I'm fighting temptation
I'm fighting, fightingAh, I'm tryin' to live a godly life, be lyin' if I say it ain't hard
I can't even open my eyes 'cause everything is rated R
Can't believe what I'm seeing, I'm speechless
All I see is your booty and cleavage
You just tryin' to find my weakness
I'm determined to pass your test, yeahLemme hear you sayI'm fighting temptation, I'm fighting temptation
I'm fighting, fighting
Fighting temptation, I'm fighting temptation
I'm fighting, fightingFighting temptation, I'm fighting temptation
I'm fighting, fighting

Fighting temptation, I'm fighting temptation
I'm fighting, fightingI, tryin' to be spirit lit
I ain't gon' let you in my head
And like a spider you are weaving your web
Tryin' to get a brother in your bedYou don't like it that I'm standin' tall
Oh, the reason why fake men fall
So put away your seducing lips
I know the devil's all in your kissAh, ah, yeah
Lemme hear you sayI'm fighting temptation, I'm fighting temptation
I'm fighting, fighting
Fighting temptation, I'm fighting temptation
I'm fighting, fightingFighting temptation, I'm fighting temptation
I'm fighting, fighting
Fighting temptation, I'm fighting temptation
I'm fighting, fightingAh, on the pressure to make this money
This recession making things so hard
I don't wanna do nothin' illegal
Man, I gotta put my trust in GodLord, I'm reaching out for help
I can't win the war by myself
Lord, I need little more patience
And more strength so I can fight temptationsWell, I, well IEvery time I turn around
I can see you tryin' to take me down
Tryin' to keep me bound
The anointing on my life just won't allowYou the trap maze, zap me, stop me, bloc me
God's got me in His hands
Somebody gon' stand and be the man
I refuse to run, yeah I'm the one
That's gonna get the job done, done sonLike David I'm gonna slay the giant
You know God's with me, you can't deny it
Tried your best to keep my quiet
What you sellin' I refuse to buy itYou might as well find someone else to lie with
Every disease you probably got it
Keep it to yourself 'cause I don't want it
No, I don't want itWe gon' fight
HeyI'm fighting temptation, I'm fighting temptation
I'm fighting, fighting
Fighting temptation, I'm fighting temptation
I'm fighting, fightingFighting temptation, I'm fighting temptation
I'm fighting, fighting
Fighting temptation, I'm fighting temptation
I'm fighting, fightingFighting temptation

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Deitrick Haddon

Born and raised in the Motor City , Haddon was another gospel child prodigy, both as minister and musician. He gave his first sermon at the church of his father, Bishop Clarence Haddon, at age 11, and was directing the choir by age 13.

Haddon began his recording career in the mid 90s with the Voices of Unity on the small Tyscot label. As the group leader for their three albums, Haddon expressed his forward looking musical view, merging elements of soul, hip-hop and funk in the group's Gospel music. VOU had some mild success on the Gospel charts, but by the late 90s Haddon was ready to move more clearly front and center as a solo artist. His first two solo albums, This is My Story and Chainbreaker continued his artistic development and made some moderate noise on the Gospel charts.

However, I’m not sure that even the devoted fan base he had been accumulating could have anticipated his late 2002 release, Lost and Found, his first on giant Gospel label Verity. A project as ambitious as Tonex’s noted debut, Pronounced Toe-Nay, Lost and Found is an exhaustive, inspired opus by a Gospel artist who, with its release, clearly declared himself a new Gospel star.

The disc begins sounding like a dance Gospel album, leading off with two funky numbers, “D.D.” and “Oh Yeah” (the latter featuring the ubiquitous Fred Hammond). From there it covers broad territory, including bluesy, southern soul (“Ain’t Got Nothing” and the radio hit, “Sinner’s Prayer”), Praise & Worship (“Worship Medley”), Prince-style electric soul (“It’s Me”), big ballads (“Stand Still”) and joyous calypso (“The Praises Go (Up, Up, Up)”). Haddon is literally bursting with musical ideas on the album and, amazingly, virtually all work. Equally impressive is the strong lyrical content of the disc – much of it autobiographical -- focusing principally on the power of redemption and the ability of faith to rescue lost or miscast souls.

It took me almost two months to review Lost and Found, mostly because it took so long to fully absorb such an ambitious project. Now I can clearly say that this stands, with Mary Mary’s “Thankful” and Tonex’s “O2,” as perhaps the definitive modern Gospel album of this decade, and is a must for both Soul and Gospel lovers.
