[Intro: TobyMac]
Oh
Oh

[Verse 1: Kevin Max & Michael Tait]
A preacher shuns his brother
Cause his bride's a different color
And this is not acceptable
His papa taught him so
It was love that he'd been preaching
But this was overreaching
The boundaries stretchin' further (Further)
Than his heart would choose to go

[Pre-Chorus: Kevin Max & TobyMac]
Oh
Like an angel with no wings
Oh
Like a kingdom with no king

[Chorus: TobyMac, Michael Tait]
What have we become?
Ooh, a self-indulgent people, oh
What have we become?
Tell me, where are the rightеous ones? Yeah
What have wе become?
In a world degenerating
What have we become?
[Post-Chorus: Michael Tait & TobyMac]
Yeah
What have we become? (What have we become?)

[Verse 2: Michael Tait]
Mom and dad are fightin'
As Rosie lies there crying
For once again she's overheard
Regrets of their mistake
When Christmas bells are ringin'
Little Rosie'd leave them grievin'
The gift she'd give her family
Would be the pills she'd take

[Pre-Chorus: Michael Tait & TobyMac]
Oh
An inconvenient child
Oh
She wasn't worth their while

[Chorus: TobyMac, Kevin Max, Michael Tait]
What have we become?
Oh, self-indulgent people
What have we become?
Tell me, where are the righteous ones?
What have we become?
In a world degeneratin'
Ho, what have we become?
[Post-Chorus: Michael Tait & TobyMac]
What have we become? (What have we become?)
Yeah

[Bridge: TobyMac & Kevin Max]
Speak your mind, look out for yourself
The answer to it all is a life of wealth
Grab all you can cause you live just once (Oh, oh)
You got the right to do whatever you want (Oh, oh)
Don't worry about others or where you came from (Oh, oh)
It ain't what you were, it's what you've become (Oh)
What have we become? (It ain't what you were, it's what you've become)

[Chorus: TobyMac, Michael Tait, Kevin Max]
(What about love?) What have we become?
Oh, self-indulgent people
(What about God?) What have we become?
Tell me where are the righteous ones? Yeah
(What about love?) What have we become?
In a world degeneratin'
Oh, what have we become?

[Post-Chorus: Michael Tait, TobyMac]
What have we become? (What have we become?)
Ahh...
[Outro: Michael Tait, TobyMac]
What have we become?
What have we become?
Oh
Oh
