Verse 1:
It ain’t cockiness or arrogance it’s confidence
Don’t need your compliments,
Just wanna make sure the public understands
Why I got faith through every circumstance
Cuz I’m in God’s providence,
I serve God with real excellence,
Representin him with a little elegance,
You see the resemblance, through my obedience
Can’t always do what I want for convenience
Had to learn that through experience
Now I tell you that it’s serious
Trust in myself would be delirious
Gotta be thankful for the people cheerin’ us
I see nonbelievers now curious
Neva doubt him, his ways are mysterious
While we’re celebratin’, the enemy is furious
Hook:
Confidence is what I got.
Confidence is what you need.
Confidence is what you see when you look at me.
Confidence is what I bring.
Confidence is what He gives.
Confidence is all you need so you can dream big.
Verse 2:
People wanna knock me down, make me frown
Turn me upside down, make me look like a clown
Throw me in the water and make me drown
But God would save me, so people turn your life around
Stop going to church to look around, look at yourself
Inch by inch, pound per pound, my words are God’s words
That’s why they’re profound, if you’re lost don’t trip
Cuz you’ll be found, I know the world has a strong pull
Influenced by family, co-workers and friends at school
Careful, I know how it feels to be played like a game of pool
I’ve been treated like a fool, used as their tool, of course it was cruel
But here I am standing, still living under God’s rule
The main reason why I haven’t lost my cool, that’s confidence
