4 songs meet this passage

  • Dangerous (feat. Erykah Badu) · Busta Rhymes

    strains against James 4:16

    The song's overall boastful posture, flaunting wealth, bodies, and danger, is the kind of arrogant bragging Scripture names as evil rather than admirable.

  • God's Plan · Drake

    strains against James 4:13-16

    The song's boasting about status, turf, and legacy runs against James's warning not to boast in tomorrow's plans as if life and success were fully in our own hands.

  • “Cannot be stopped, you payin' attention?”

    CLOUDS · NF

    strains against James 4:13-16

    The confident claim of unstoppable success leaves little room for the humility James urges about plans being subject to God's will.

  • Can't Nobody Hold Me Down (feat. Mase) · Puff Daddy

    strains against James 4:13-16

    The song's swaggering certainty about untouchable success ignores the fragility James points to; boasting in tomorrow's security is called out as arrogance.
