[length: 05:23]
[00:01.74]We been doing this for a long long time now
[00:03.55]This music thing and touring, you know
[00:08.07]And still I ain’t met one person that could maintain righteousness
[00:13.47]Know what I’m sayin?
[00:14.34]A wise man told me evil was lurkin’ and if you found it
[00:17.97]Try your best to not put yourself around it
[00:19.77]’Cause when you in it you tend to push it to the limit but
[00:22.48]Then when the sin beginnin’ you wish you would stay grounded
[00:24.23]I went all over the world and I done been through it
[00:27.03]At the beginning I knew I wouldn’t give in to it
[00:29.78]But temptation over the sensation
[00:31.56]Women I’m embracin’, so many of them waitin’
[00:34.22]Contemplatin’ how to get fornication
[00:36.98]At yo door when its late with the motivation of Satan
[00:39.62]So they say, but things go they way
[00:42.36]But its more then pay told her hey yo the phase for today
[00:44.10]But lust it sets in, and crush your chest in
[00:46.97]For dust your destined, if drugs are let in
[00:49.63]Enough to nest in, probably make you punch your best friend
[00:53.26]And next kin cuz you let s-e-x win
[00:55.06]You mean to tell me you can fight this land
[00:56.81]With brightness and walk the path of the righteous man?
[00:59.59]Yo, I want to believe that, itching to see that
[01:02.23]If a positive person can shake the negative feedback
[01:04.93]That this life has to offer what its faster
[01:07.77]What a disaster if you didn’t obey the master
[01:10.42]Cuz that’s mutiny, it would be new to me
[01:13.13]If you was on tour with Tecca Nina and still you could be
[01:14.94](Holy, holy) If you lived in another world would you
[01:20.33](Know me, know me) I know you be strong, but you been gone a
[01:24.89](While) I know you still my
[01:27.59](Child) So I’m pullin’ for you
[01:30.29](Don’t you owe me) Your soul and if you know it wont
[01:34.86](Show me, show me) You can see me if you look above the
[01:40.26](Clouds) You’re Holier than
[01:42.93](Thou) So, I say it for you
[01:45.64]How can I move the crowd without losin’ out of my faith?
[01:49.24]Lucifer out of the way (way)
[01:51.02]Or maybe he don’t even exist
[01:52.87]I ain’t gotta trip off
[01:54.68]Gettin hookers out of my system (get you out of my system)
[01:56.40]See thats how he tricks em
[01:57.34]Get em’ sippin’, then a big ol mickey he slips them (I wonder why)
[02:00.00]Music soothes the savage soul
[02:02.77]People could lose or win, but lack control
[02:05.56]Wish we could choose to live and fast the soul
[02:08.27]We smashin’ women then bypass the soul
[02:10.97]They believin everything we breathe in
[02:12.73]Half of us is Jesus, the other half is heathen
[02:15.41]And how we get that bad half out?
[02:16.33]We pray the lord would cast that out
[02:18.11]Hope you got blessins let them pass that out
[02:20.83]When we travellin’ and pass that route
[02:22.64]Keep us under their grace is the place where we had that doubt
[02:25.45]Where I stand, its pointin’ at me, but its with my hand
[02:28.15]I need you, you holier than I am, I am
[02:30.81](Holy, holy) If you lived in another world would you
[02:36.26](Know me, know me) I know you be strong, but you been gone a
[02:40.78](While) I know you still my
[02:43.46](Child) So I’m pullin’ for you
[02:46.19](Don’t you owe me) Your soul and if you know it wont
[02:51.57](Show me, show me) You can see me if you look above the
[02:56.05](Clouds) You’re Holier than
[02:58.78](Thou) So I say it for you
[03:01.44]This verse was intended for a gospel rapper that we all admire
[03:05.02]And he goes by the name of Da T.R.U.T.H
[03:06.82]All we wanted was a righteous man to lead us in the right direction
[03:09.68]And maybe if he came we could change and regroup
[03:11.47]So we laid it down and sent it hopin’ we would rap wit us, track splittas
[03:15.04]Waited, and none of his people got back wit us
[03:16.86]We kept callin’ and they finally answered, when a month passed
[03:18.65]We was prepared to do whatever, give it if he wants cash
[03:21.34]But the lady who represent ’em would never Send ’em a message from a secular messenger
[03:25.80]Never be no nepotism, we supposed to be brothers, on the road to teach others
[03:28.56]But the flow would be covered, don’t wanna mess with Tech they know that we smothered
[03:31.21]Anybody who diss us, retire they weak flow
[03:33.97]Cuz this is the pinnacle, nobody flyer than me, bro
[03:36.73]If you didn’t like it then I admire the ego,
[03:39.48]And if they never told ya, then you better fire ya people
[03:41.21]Cause fallen angels came for your help and then she pushed ’em
[03:43.94]But Christians be the first to run they mouth about Muslims
[03:46.62]But they always helpin’ in the hood, but y’all closed me out
[03:49.31]Y’all didn’t even really wanna know what we bout
[03:52.16]And we bombay, trippin on this on the don spay
[03:53.96]And I had to spit on in cuz I couldn’t afford Kanye
[03:56.65]I needed help, your people showed me the wall
[03:59.31]Be lowly as y’all, I guess y’all wasn’t holy at all, naw!
[04:02.07]Much love to the gospel MC
[04:04.72]J Blast for coming down in the midst of sinners to try to help us remedy our situation
[04:07.49]Even though most if his peers told him not to
[04:10.13]Cuz we secular MC’s
[04:11.02]Thanks for giving me Da T.R.U.T.H. CD and bringing true godliness to our circle bro
[04:15.67]God bless you, for being so
[04:17.50](Holy, holy) If you live in another world would you
[04:21.90](Know me, know me) I know you be strong, but you been gone a
[04:27.31](While) while, I know you still my
[04:30.02](Child) child, So I’m pullin’ for you
[04:31.82](Don’t you owe me) Your soul and if you know it wont

[04:42.69](Clouds) cloud, you’re holier than
[04:45.37](Thou) thou, so I say it for you
