Lyrics of TEMPTATION by Dax

Temptation’s Outside, Knocking At My Door
(Knocking At My Door, Knocking At My Door)
I Won The Battle Last Night, But I’m Still At War
(Still At War, Still At War)
I Starve My Flesh And Feed My Spirit With Faith
(Feed My Spirit With Faith)
Then Raise Hell Till It’s Up At Heaven’s Gates (Gates)

Temptation Creeps Into An Idle Mind
Lack Of Purpose Is The Place, Seeking Pleasure Resides
And Feels Safe
(And Gets Its Strength)
Temptation Loves Fame, Serves Ego And Pride
Mama Told Me, “Two Wrongs Don’t Make No Right”
So I Pray
(The Temptation Away)

Temptation Makes Slaves Out Of Lustful Eyes
(Out Of Lustful Eyes)
It’ll Rob You Of Your Happiness And Pay You Attention With Lies
(With Lies, Gon’ Pay Attention)
In That Darkness, You’ll Find Shame’s Not Worth Your Time
(It’s Not Worth Your Time)
Then Appraise Your Sin For The Cost Of Peace Of Mind
(Oh, Yeah)

Temptation Creeps Into An Idle Mind
Lack Of Purpose Is The Place, Seeking Pleasure Resides
And Feels Safe
(And Gets Its Strength)
Temptation Loves Fame, Serves Ego And Pride
Mama Told Me, “Two Wrongs Don’t Make No Right”
So I Pray
(The Temptation Away)

Down By The River Dale
In The Garden Where The Snake Tempted Adam And Eve
They Ate The Fruit And From Those Seeds
Grew The Roots Of This Family Tree
It’s Why We Struggle, It’s Why We Fight
Our Mother’s Nature, Father Time
The Human Race, But Fall Behind
Dying To Live, But All Living To Die
For Goodness’ Sake

         

We’ve Been Atone For Sins And Given God’s Grace
Stuck In This Babylonic World We Can’t Escape
Going To War With Demons Every Day
The Soul And Spirit Break, That’s Why I Pray

Temptation’s Outside, Knocking At My Door
(Temptation’s Knocking At My Door)
I Won The Battle Last Night, But I’m Still At War
(I Am Still At War)
I Starve My Flesh And Feed My Spirit With Faith
(I Will Feed My Spirit With Faith)
And Raise Hell Till It’s Up At Heaven’s Gates (I Raise Hell)
I Raise Hell
(Down By The River Dale)
Till It’s Up At Heaven’s Gates

About “TEMPTATION by Dax”

Dax stands firm on the beat, his delivery urgent and unfiltered, starving the flesh to feed the spirit while raising hell against the gates of heaven.

The track dives straight into the heart of inner conflict. Temptation isn’t painted as some distant evil—it’s right outside the door, creeping into idle minds, thriving on ego, pride, and a lack of purpose. The mood is intense and reflective, blending motivational fire with sober warnings about how lust, lies, and shame can steal your peace. Production from TK Run It Up and Backnine Z keeps it stripped-back yet powerful: heavy drums, atmospheric keys, and a build that mirrors the escalating war inside. It’s motivational rap at its core, but laced with gospel conviction and a sense of urgency that makes you lean in.

As a standalone single released January 30, 2026, “TEMPTATION” arrives under Dax’s independent banner with distribution through Columbia/Records Label, LLC. The official music video, shot by Logan Meis, dropped the same day on YouTube, carrying that signature Dax intensity—no frills, just direct-to-camera truth-telling. He teased it heavily on socials the day before, calling it special and urging people to spread it for impact.

It’s already streaming everywhere, from Spotify to Apple Music, and the comments sections are flooded with “AMEN” and personal stories of resonance. No full album attached yet, but it fits right into his ongoing wave of faith-driven, introspective drops.

Right now, Dax is in full stride, turning 30 and channeling everything he’s lived through into music that’s more purposeful than ever. Fresh off projects like From A Man’s Perspective, he’s leaning harder into spiritual themes without losing the raw edge that built his fanbase. “TEMPTATION” feels like a natural evolution—proof he can tackle heavy subjects like sin, grace, and daily demon fights while keeping the energy motivational and real. It stands out in his discography as another bold statement on resilience, reminding listeners why his voice cuts through the noise: authenticity mixed with unapologetic faith.
