Lines Drawn

[Intro]
Hip-hop, let me holla at y'all for a second
This conversation long overdue

[Verse]
All I hear y'all talkin' 'bout is your money in large amounts
Must think accountability is your ability to count, it's not
That's why this culture lukewarm, intoxicated with ignorance
Let me spit the truth for 'em
I said that glorifying murder in our music is bad
Now people comin' at me saying "Stop speakin' up, we like to hear that"
If that's your preference that's cool, but when you get on the defense
That let me know; my spirit irritating yo' demons
I'm 'posed to back down 'cause of some internеt hatred?
I been defeatin' goliath, baby, my first namе David
All year around we feed people death and destruction, ya heard me?
But it's okay, 'cause on Thanksgiving, we— never mind
People threatened to hurt me, people say I'm clout chasin'
They want the evil unopposed, huh, that sound like Satan
But I'm respondin' with love, maturin' as I go through this
It ain't just 'bout how I love Jesus, it's 'bout how well I love Judas
They can't silence my voice, I'm gon' be vocal forever
"These people hatin' on you, Dee," they gon' be local forever
I got the industry shook, that guilt can't pile up
I drew a line in the sand and it messed they ant pile up
Ain't here to blame it or shame it, but it's all about how you frame it
Now evil has an excuse, and it's called entertainment
You got a three-part ecosystem, the labels are one
But without creators and consumers, labels can't run
So what the fans support is what the artists gon' make
Gotta de-program then reprogram what we consume and create
I got so much more to say, but I let God lead the way
Trust I'ma serve it to you in doses
Uno 'bout to start coachin' you, three, two, one
It's three to one
Some industry, some fans, and some artists against me, but I don't run
I got the Father, the Holy Spirit, and the Son
Class officially in session, y'all, this 'bout to be fun

[Outro]
Aw man, this 'bout to be fun
This, this just the syllabus, bro
This just the beginning, we got a lot to cover
We got a whole lot we gon' cover
Like how to be in this world, but not of this world
How to be real, righteous, and relevant, bump this world
How to turn over tables in the temple when it's time
Without ever lettin' anger enter your heart and mind
Huh, yeah
How to stand for God
When everybody else saying it's hard
Yeah
