its like there's a struggle between the good and the bad
the devil trying to hold at me and keep me under wraps
but there's a light resurrecting in my soul like fire
open eyes, fallen knees, ain't no time for liars
it's like these lyrics flow out of my soul like water
a testimony to the lowest of all his sons and daughters
i hear these rappers all around and they bother me
its like people ain't hearing music properly
and the truth is being shared akwardly
cuz the world don't understand what it ought to be
so i'm trying to comprehend what I seem to see
with the simple vision given by God in me
you see,
i don't want to be ignorant, but i've got some proof
like how the media corrupts and distorts our youth
it's like they teach the kids how abandon their mind
and they replace the intellectual with a catchy line
its funny, cuz music is like a transport into the soul
and im not one to criticize that i dont know
but i know, at least, that it's all getting old
and that a lot of these artists seem to have sold
out, its like i gotta beat driving my mind
one after another, the lyrics come out line by line
still new, but im messin around with rhymes
understanding that transcends culture throughout time
cuz im trying to be humble, cuz I gotta lot to learn
but God is tellin me to use music so that I can discern
and speak a message to the world, and to those around
who have ears but have chosen to mute out the sound
so I'm speaking to their hearts like they've never heard
speaking life to the lost who have never read the word
see the word became flesh, while we were still deaf
had a pathway to heaven, but went right not left
so what's my job, nah it ain't conversion still,
simply to show people that the path is still available
you see we're looking for life and truth in all the wrong places
we can be a mighty king, yet still struggle like David
we stumble all the time, ill be the first to admit
im being raised everyday, yet I fall and slip
but the fact is that the message overcomes the odds
that we're loved and treasured by the God above
so the message aint new, you probably heard it before
like the stacks of magazines at a grocery store
you've been flooded by the devil trying to sell Christ to you
like the preachers preaching garbage all over youtube
take a second, close your eyes, you know theres really more to it
you can see all the crap, let your mind see through it
and listen to the word Hes tryin'a speak to your soul
ill relate it equally to the young and the old
Cuz we're not talking about gospel music
just the truth cuz we can't get used to it
