Lyrics | [Verse] Here we are at the precipice And wheat thinning seems more evident, sin Snacking on our flesh, trying to crack us, the precedent Established since sin's conception, charged All with embezzlement, convicted and sentenced Pestilence revoked all our memberships, word This is where we are, by the logos we bite Chewing on the apple and all da vices starting with "I" It ain't a game how I box with the ex-version of mine Dead man, so knees bow like waka, aflame on inside I'm not surprised, murderous lies paint Babylon's skies Foolish if my hope resides on either side of this guise It's all fallen, Gomorrah, Sodom, Matthew 25 I'm not debating on your wing 'cause dead birds don't fly Striving to live life as a light in a land full of screams Where you're hated or labeled "hater" if you differ or disagree Or differ to a degree that discomfort is the result We don't wanna hear that we're wrong Then again, what is wrong? Reject the ruler's metric, then fill his prints with our paws Ignore the dove's cry, yet want others to receive to ours We flawed, dog That's why I'm yelling "mercy" to the Lord Eye full of grace towering over You'd think that I'm French, but nah, my God I have no interest in seeing myself superior We all fall short, yet none of us are inferior Worth placed by the image of God, value imputed but never gone Even when killshots dispute it, it's never lost Abortion clinics prosecuted, it's just as strong Though it feels like it's going rogue while we're in the storm It's still in our genes, like shoplifting Seams, a thief's solace is in knowing who the supreme is Compared to a wretched being, that weakness will keep us meek And that’s blessed, like what to do to food before we eat, there Will always be resistance when God's order is mentioned But let folks wrestle with God and not a horrible witness When it’s said and done we wanna be faithful as stewards Speak truth, trying not to be jerks while doing it Never through with it The Church is not perfect, but saved Striving to love and serve others through these storms and this pain I ain't tryna to be Hananiah To tickle ears with my breath Like we ain't wearing grace thin When sin's a garment of death, so yeah It's still life, it's still love, it's still gospel It's still truth even when fire's in their nostrils, Hostel You might also likeBut I believe it all starts with the Lord They say "that Bible is counterfeit, its history's off God is a fraud, we are Thor, from our core to the edges" But we as God, low key lacking, like a chart with no legend They said "religious faith is the problem It's manmade to divide us" But if you destroy what man made You're still left with the man that made it Sin's inside us, soiled our motives all from the start Maat making man owner of what God wrote on our hearts And I don't have all the answers It's cool if you don't feel me In mourning but won't be swayed Wearing him, not guilty, the verdict A void remains like swerving around roadkill, see God is greater, But we can't cover that hole with cheese Just know that love still is the greatest, and the Spirit Breaks strongholds, from fornication to racism Racing here as a tortoise, wanna be patient and led Always learning, for it's given to he that endures to the end Amen [Hook] You sat high but came way down Left your throne for Thorned head crown So we'd know freedom, though way bound And live life bright casting our cares how We press on 'cause you were nailed down Gave up the Helper, to help us stay found So we could rise you rose, yeah now Now we can soar with no fear now |
