(Intro) You gotta quit asking questions, 'cause this is the only one you need to hear. (Verse 1) Yeah, yeah, I went from picking up that rock to picking up that cross, Spent years running 'round tryna be a boss, On these avenues of pain, where every win is temporary, Chasing quick fixes, situations getting scary. Just searching for the rush, a quick and deadly trick, Thinking money and power was the remedy that sticks. Every high wore off, left me hollow in the end, Living on borrowed time, with fake foes and fake friends. Never knew my Savior could wash away all my sins, Kept dwelling in the dirt, where the sorrow begins. My heart was heavy, soul was running on the dope, The real Boss was waitin' on me to cut the rope. (Chorus) So they ask me who my savior is I tell them he's the boss... He's the boss? Yea he's the boss, he's the one they hung up on that cross, Yeah, the battle was won the moment he stepped in, He's the one that vindicated our sin, So pick it up... pick it up... Pick it up... pick it up... (Verse 2) I was caught in the habit, running from the pain, Who is God, and why the hell won't he stop the rain? Spent half my life asking, "Does this Man exist at all?" While the demon in my ear was telling me go ahead and buy it all. I looked at the cross, then back at my own mess, Tryna measure the power against the crippling stress. If He’s real, why the struggle? Why is this pipe in my hand right now? Why must I live this life just to keep from feeling somehow? I wanted to believe, but my faith was a whisper, thin and weak, It took hitting the basement before I dared to seek, Trying to find the logic, trying to find the peace, Waiting for the moment when all the madness would cease. (Chorus) So they ask me who my savior is I tell them he's the boss... He's the boss? Yea he's the boss, he's the one they hung up on that cross, Yeah, the battle was won the moment he stepped in, He's the one that vindicated our sin, So pick it up... pick it up... Pick it up... pick it up... (Verse 3 Now the outsiders talk, the ones who ain't seen the fire, They sayin' being a Christian is supposed to be oh so easy. Like life's going to be just so easy breezy, no more struggle, no more tease me. They paint a picture that ignores the daily war, The false advertising that's knockin' at your door. But following the Boss means fighting harder than before, The difference is the ending, not the road that we take. We got an ultimate assurance who died just for our sake. You got the armor on, the backing, the ultimate team, You got the Boss on your side, it's more than a dream. They think the cross means weakness, but it means power earned, The ultimate lesson for humanity to be learned. (Bridge) You wanna know the real difference between then and the now? I used to bow down low, now I know who deserves the bow. I quit looking for the cheap thrill, chasing that dangerous game, When I realized the Boss already paid the ultimate shame. He knew the cost of freedom, the price He had to pay, That's why I hold the cross over everything they say. (Chorus) So they ask me who my savior is I tell them he's the boss... He's the boss? Yea he's the boss, he's the one they hung up on that cross, Yeah, the battle was won the moment he stepped in, He's the one that vindicated our sin, So pick it up... pick it up... Pick it up... pick it up... (Outro) Yeah... He's the Boss. He paid the cost. Now we walkin' clean, ready for the life. Pick it up. Go live your life.
