Call Upon

It don't matter if these haters belittle me
Because I love you Lord, you said you deliver me
It don't matter if these haters belittle me

Lockdown, quarantine, everybody inside
Figured I make music, mayne, help you with the insight
New life, changed man even since my twin died
I don't know what happеned, ask my people how I switchеd sides
The old me would retaliate, don't worry about no consequence
Now I'm facing life with Christ, take every step with confidence
Everyday is a funeral, families dressed in black
Man, these OGs got the youngstas with batteries on they back
Send out like they been out cuz they trynna keep the score up
Bloodshed after bloodshed, there's enough dead, lock the doors up
Oldhead trynna catch some shade sitting under a tree
I told 'em Hell much hotter than a hundred degrees
All the youngsters all around him like he making a mob
They taking orders from their man like they made him their god
And you more focused on the virus than washing your hands
When you need to be concerned and start watching your mans
Because he plotting on yo money, yo jewels, and all your gold
Devil got him on a mission right now to come rob your soul
There's a lily in the valley, there's a diamond in the rough (life)
Really feeling happy cuz you finally got enough
And yo baby getting bigger so you need to stick around
There's so much for you to do right now than shoot somebody down

So this what you bet your soul on?
The altar you lay your soul on!
When it's all said and done and you left feeling dumb you gon' wish you done, oh
You gon' wish you chose His love
You gon' wish you flushed them drugs
You gon' wish you dropped your flag like "you not my flag", oh

Satan tried to trick you man, same way he did Eve
You shouldn't let him trick you and deceive you with his greed
See, sin will separate you like "cover up in these leaves"
But man, there ain't no honor in a dinner filled with thieves
I don't care bout social distance, I go pray for all you haters
I walk straight up to your face and I'll tell you "Jesus'll save ya!"
You can hate me, get angry, you can cuss me out in public
You still can't change the fact that Christ the king and that I love Him
They like preacher man, preacher man, tell me bout your Jesus, man
I'm just trynna feed the fam and get rid of this evil, man
Help me out, help me out, most people just sell me out
Dog eats dog, Godly God, tell me bout what He be bout

See God has a way of fixing things
God has a way of healing you
God has a way of giving rain
God has a way of living new

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water
But Jack and Jill were selling pills so they can make a dolla'
I sat 'em down and told' em bout the love of our Father
Now for Jesus Christ they living for and He's the one they follow, forreal!

I used to run from the law, now I pray for police
I used to never get rest, now I get peace when I sleep
I used to mean mug with a frown cuz I had evil inside
Now I greet you with a hug cuz I got Jesus inside
Why is it? Church folk hate it when I'm dressed like my homie
What you think that suit n tie brother make you look holy?
Clean on the inside, filthy on the end
Just be honest and admit we all guilty of sin
You see, we all fall short to the glory
And this according to the righteousness of Christ that my Father rewards me
BAM-BAM, bigalo
Glad fam, did it though
Tap dance on the devil's head, new life for a criminal
Tell me what's the cost of discipleship, break it down for me
If you see any idols around, then take 'em down for me
You gotta love God more than you love your own life
What you mean? I'm confused, aren't I supposed to love life? (nah)
Get rid of anything you putting before Him
What you couldn't do for Him and what you wouldn't do for Him
Offer your body as a living and holy sacrifice
Cuz only Jesus Christ can satisfy your appetite
Oh, I get it now, read it now, on my way to Heaven now
Born again, a spirit filled, best believe I said it now
I get it now, read it now, on my way to Heaven now
Born again, a spirit filled, best believe I said it now

There's a generation who cuss at their father and don't bless their mother
There's a generation that's pure in their own eyes, yet are not washed from their filthiness
There's a generation lofty of their eyes and their eyelids are lifted, so prideful they are
There's a generation who's teeth are like swords and their jaws are teeth as knives to devour the poor from off this Earth
In the needy from among men
Oh, Saul 15:1 said
Who shall bide in that tabernacle
Who shall dwell on thy holy hill
Here goes the answer y'all
He that walketh up rightly
He that worketh righteousness and speaking truth in his heart
He that doesn't back-bite his neighbour
He doesn't take a bribe from the wicked
He never goes against the innocent
He lives in the ways of the Lord and he follows all the Lord's commandments
He the light to the laws of the Lord day and night
And he meditates for he shall never be moved
His face shall never be shaken
In the mighty name of Jesus
I pray for the righteous
Check it out y'all, aye

It don't matter if the haters belittle me (why?)
I know you love me Lord, you said you deliver me
It don't matter if the haters belittle me (why?)
I know you love me Lord, you said you deliver me
So I call upon your name at times
In troubled times your peace I find
So I call upon your name at times
In troubled times your peace I find
