about

I wrote this to an Eminem type beat. I listened to it a dozen times as I wrote out each part to fit perfectly with what was going on in the beat. That version is on the Mixtape.

I was inspired by commercializing Christ and making Jesus a Hollywood star.

lyrics

I’m spitting Gospel G, until the day that I die Reppin’ one thing with my hands in the sky No need to sigh, y’all know the reason why They take snapshots, listen as you hear him cry There is only one man who knows my pain Besides all the fans that will explain Not another way to bridge death and life It took three nails and one cross, that is why!

JESUS CHRIST I LOVE YOU No matter what they say or do, it’s all for you Even if they paid me millions to deny your truth JESUS CHRIST I NEED YOU

I keep his name on my lips and his life on my mind Every time I rhyme in his light I can find More soldiers on the line screaming his name More pictures are taken but he ignores the fame He’s telling me KJ-52 is right There’s only ONE WAY, ONE TRUTH & ONE LIFE I recite it on paper, repeat it in my head I thank you ‘cause many times I could’ve been dead Left alone to die, but angels are on my side Through each & every lie, every girl as my pride All times I accepted flesh as my ruler All the sin every test, all the beer in the cooler God I am selfish, even feeling helpless Hell is a mess. Christian Rap, can I sell this?

JESUS CHRIST I LOVE YOU No matter what they say or do, it’s all for you Even if they paid me millions to deny your truth JESUS CHRIST I NEED YOU And to see you suffer I got tears in my eyes With this sacrifice I can hear the angels’ cries JESUS CHRIST I LOVE YOU I’m sorry I did bad, Father please forgive He said with one drop The blood will let me live JESUS CHRIST I NEED YOU

Now my job’s to testify show the world of our fall How soon will I see you? Answer your call How we were outlaws, but he died for us! If that’s not love, I wouldn’t know of any trust I wish I was there even with all the gloom Just to see you live on Free from the tomb Now I know what to do, in my heart I’ll make room Pray my mind to comprehend escaping the doom I can see through him and its not just a ghost This is his body and blood, and now we make a toast (…breakdown…) We live on victorious! Yes it’s so glorious! Now let’s take… a moment of silence. Shhhh Ignore all the violence. (…kick it…) But we don’t have time to be quiet Those who are silent are golden by a riot I’m making noise stand still, raising my voice I shout how I feel That’s my own choice As the rain pours down, I survive the storm Staying still in his glory My umbrella and warmth When it rains it pours and the wise man snores I got the trinity and it’s something like smores Throughout the wars they will be there Take your cross and strap up but you better beware Because we’re running out of time, running out of paper Running in a rhyme. Running from danger!

JESUS CHRIST I NEED YOU Enemies are not strangers, you know them like angels Do you understand? Or do I have to explain bro? JESUS CHRIST I LOVE YOU GOD, if only my brothers had a chance Didn’t get sucked in by lust and romance Getting shot up. In their hearts they bleed They feel so deceived, never knew their lead Follow the leader, he will guide the way Bring your weapon of choice. Then we will pray It’s our last day so you better make way Bring you knowledge & wisdom + your faith Need a lion’s strength? Show we are great If you’re not real, wait. This is our fate

I feel his heartbeat and I march with my feet Onto victory we will not see defeat I hear your thoughts. And your doubts sink Give it all or nothing. SO WHAT DO YOU THINK!?
