MAC THE DOULOS VERSE:
this that holy hip hop, but easy homie…
Wait! Don’t tune me out…take it easy homie
We preachin’ Jesus , but please believe us
In all honesty…you really need this homie
That’s why we hittin’ ya block up with this God stuff
The gospel of Christ….the only truth…not allah cuz
I know hearing this in hip hop can be odd but
If we didn’t…ya only option would be ya grandma’s stuff
And that’s cool and all
But since kats love rap, we sneak the gospel in….spittin’ truth in bars
still feel like I’m losing yall
If don’t rhyme about girls, cash, my crew, or cars
understand…it don’t matter how much doe you get dude
Cuz when you go…ain’t none of it goin’ wit you
To the afterlife….that’s a fact of life
It’s obvious….you need to change ya appetite
Cuz you hungry for the wrong types of things
Like the status, the chrome and the icy chains
You Materialistic…a spiritual misfit
You’re at odds with God and you’re willing to risk it?!?!??
So why it gotta be like that
Forsaking the savior like he ain’t bleed like that
Tortured and stretched on a tree like that
Died, rose, and rolled, but said that he’d be right back
HOOK:
Resist the system
Reject the status quo
Buck against the world’s ways
God’s got a better way
Peep the alternative
If you dead in sins…you can turn and live
That’s why He bled for you. Laid in the grave for you.
Raised in 3 days….the cost of sin’s paid for you!
MAC THE DOULOS VERSE:
I work a 9 to 5 in Chester, PA
You’d get depressed if I replayed what I see everyday
Why? kats have opted to brush God under the carpet
And all this causes is godlessness
Look the Stakes is high
like the Empire State sky scraper
This situation’s major…
turnin’ ya back on the God who made ya
You don’t wanna make that mistake cuz….
If you don’t follow Christ way…it’s a heavy price to pay.
don’t wait til you die
then open up ya eyes in hell to be like "dag! Yo, them Christians was right
ay yo recognize
that we’ve all sinned and a just God just won’t let you slide
It’s best you side
with God’s Son who came to taste death then rise just to rescue lives
HOOK:
Resist the system
Reject the status quo
Buck against the world’s ways
God’s got a better way
Peep the alternative
If you dead in sins…you can turn and live
That’s why He bled for you. Laid in the grave for you.
Raised in 3 days….the cost of sin’s paid for you!
MAC THE DOULOS VERSE:
Oh so you tryin’ to be a trap star
Gunnin’ to be the one runnin’ things like a track star
Listen…Christ endured the cross, died, and got up
So you wouldn’t have to run the streets and get shot up
And lil’ girls learn how to drop that and pop that…
I’m askin’ myself…ay yo…where they pops at?
Oh…he a thug on the strip tryin’ be a coke boss
Or in the club with a chick…tryin’ get her clothes off
And this is how kats in the hood think
It stinks the enemy…he got the hood hoodwinked
It’s just disguised lies pullin’ the wool over ya eyes
Don’t be a fool open ya eyes
it’s so ill
I’m on this bumpy ride through life and I’m seeing tons of road of kill
Dead individuals….and I ain’t talking bout the physical
It’s spiritual….to bring ‘em back to life we need a miracle
God is awesome
But people got a priority list where God ain’t at the top…we got a problem
And its solvin’ is only found in the God-man
Who suffered the cross to recover the lost that’s God’s plan.
Jesus Christ…the way, truth, the life
And yup….He can save you despite
Who you are or what you’ve done in life
You lost in darkness, you need to turn to the light
HOOK:
Resist the system
Reject the status quo
Buck against the world’s ways
God’s got a better way
Peep the alternative
If you dead in sins…you can turn and live
That’s why He bled for you. Laid in the grave for you.
Raised in 3 days….the cost of sin’s paid for you!
