Lyrics | [Verse 1: Jeremiah Bligen] Too many Ls locked into our caps I think we need a shift key Bad blood sucks the life out us I think I feel a tick (sheesh) Real tock, sun might dial you out Watching to clock you for a grip We're letting tumors pass off as good growth Boy, I think I see a cyst (swish) We’ve been deceived to not believe the Trinity Commitment missed her and her son We are loyal to the foolish ones To be trill OGs, like the Matrix was There’s more honor fixing chicken biscuits Than a pistol clip in gripping, flipping birds Before we dead a brother over dollars Pray we'd rather live and die dead broke Think it’s about time that we take Every lie and then break And dismantle the mantle of pride to create Set a standard of standing tall, let our faith Be a candle to scandal, expose to dispose Re-compose how we think Let our talk be distinct See that sister as sister, a mother and daughter A soul to console, not a whore to export Or abort or be bartered A person to honor Serve and empower, valued they all are Precious, we ought to Die to disguises We buy just to hide Take our minds to the sky Let the spirit renew Like he leasing a product Self-control, saying no, sacrificing so To take a hold of Christ, the flow Of blood will cease We have never gone so far, no cause too hard That the arms of God is too short to reach [Hook: Jeremiah Bligen] Lights on, they burn bright My whole life, take everything Pressure's on, no weapon formed Will flatten us, we box spring Fight through every season and be Salt, dash when the pepper spray Pain up in my face Lace with grace I ain't trippin I'mma run the race You might also likeI solemnly pledge (code) Unto the throne (code) Loving our neighbor and (code) A servant to home (code) And my community (code) Honor and honesty (code) Living a life worthy (code) This is The Code [Verse 2: THRE] Before the code I was never opposed It was a lane that we all took We was all in them chains, all entertained If I can keep it plain we was all hooked Won't boast in it, no hope in it I post in it, cause most did it Mo' sinning, my nose in it, pinok'n it All lies I switched up my note penning So everything that I wrote I had a footnote with it It's time we stop praising the streets, start praising our king Stop raising our heat, start raising our seed Frustrating indeed but amazing to me How our hate should be love and embrace enemies Take man and reclaim, reprimand every gang We expecting a gain by demanding a change Every plan that remains, we will stand and refrain Let our stance be the same, and our land would be tamed Be accountable to other brothers When we see the beast and animals in one another God's grace, indeed, bountiful enough to love us Faith increase undoubtable the ones among us (what?) Would be encouraged by the change 'Cause throughout their life they've been discouraged by the game We're living our life as though the firmament had came 'Cause living for Christ, it ain't conservative or lame (nahh) This more than a new leaf turned! More than a few feet firm! Glory to you! True story that you return In the morning the mood return, Joy is in you! So we walk the narrow path 'cause we know the road But we living what we knowing though 'Cause our feet gotta match what you speak if we know the code Gone [Hook: Jeremiah Bligen] Lights on, they burn bright My whole life, take everything Pressure's on, no weapon formed Will flatten us, we box spring Fight through every season and be Salt, dash when the pepper spray Pain up in my face Lace with grace I ain't trippin I'mma run the race I solemnly pledge (code) Unto the throne (code) Loving our neighbor and (code) A servant to home (code) And my community (code) Honor and honesty (code) Living a life worthy (code) This is The Code [Verse 3: 22] I done sinned once, I done sinned twice Who could sin better? I done sinned so much you can call me Sindy or Sinderella I got Hell in my heart and it's dwelling So much Hell in my heart, call me Hellen We supposed to show love to our neighbors But we hope they don't ask us for favors And that's real talk but it pains me I had loco motives, God trained me We were born into darkness, born to be heartless But Jesus decided to save us regardless That's the love we should show others But we love ourselves and love no others It's a disgrace that we get grace And when it's time to show it, it gets misplaced That's a mistake, but we programmed We exclude Christ from our programs And we wondering why we got issues with pride And we cannot admit it so {parts of us die?} But I don't trip and I don't panic My God, he walked the Atlantic We need God in our plans, I mean He did plan the whole planet, I mean He did paint the whole canvas He can draw clouds, he can draw crowds You got more houses than Morehouse But without Christ, that's a poor house So please excuse my French But oui, we need to repent So I'm sticking to the Code 'cause it never gets old To the blood-stained streets Til the streets {?} God [Hook: Jeremiah Bligen] Lights on, they burn bright My whole life, take everything Pressure's on, no weapon formed Will flatten us, we box spring Fight through every season and be Salt, dash when the pepper spray Pain up in my face Lace with grace I ain't trippin I'mma run the race I solemnly pledge (code) Unto the throne (code) Loving our neighbor and (code) A servant to home (code) And my community (code) Honor and honesty (code) Live a life worthy (code) This is The Code |
