Count the Cost

[Verse 1: Bryann Trejo]
I was in the streets, valley of the beast
Pistol in my reach in the middle of the beef
Got the devil in my ear, sayin' mercy for the weak
Tryna say that God don't love me, he was lyin' through his teeth
I was blinded by my hatred, only so much I can take
Now you know the consequences, you gon' catch another case
But what am I to do, I feel as empty as it gets
I got Satan tryna tempt me, like go empty out the clip
You wouldn't understand, if you ain't lost someone your cared about
They shot someone you cared about, forgot the one you cared about
They sent the cop to mama house to talk about my whereabouts
What you know bout havin' smoke and now you forced to air it out
And only get my blast on, if I felt like you was bogus
If you seen me with my mask on, I wasn't thinkin' bout no Covid
Hey, liquor, weed, and money used to help me keep my focus
At least it's what I thought, see Satan's plan is to control us
Expose us, then disown us, usin' evil to provoke us
Sin can be contagious, man, just like tuberculosis
Clothe us in forgiveness, father, down here with the hopeless
Raise me up with Moses, not with Pharaoh whose below us
Hey, show us livin' water like you did the wells of Jacob
My soul is yours to keep, lord, if tomorrow I don't wake up
Break the cords of bondage, set us free from what enslaves us
You are not [?], only Jesus Christ can save us

[Verse 2: Bryann Trejo]
King Nebuchadnezzar with his Babylon hyenas
Birds of the same feather flock together when they evil
Desolated temple where nobody now inhabits
Bad habits and magic, in habit is what was practiced
Graven statues of a god that hands created
Graven statues of a god that man created
There's danger checkin' horoscope, watch out for astrology
Anything you put before the lord is called idolatry (Idolatry)
Hey, all this oil you would think I was an olive tree
I'm heaven's property, that's why I give God all of me
Cremate my body 'til my bones turn into ashes
Memories of Bryann Keith, we're preachin' to the masses
All of my trespasses been forgiven by the blood
It's crazy, man, how God can make, thug, no longer thug (Longer thug)
Hey, holy spirit, please examine me and search me
Renouncin' anything in life that ever cursed me
When you increase the heat, these vipers start to come out (To come out)
And you can always catch a snitch, stickin' his tongue out
Gossip is a poison people drink, when they feel bitter
Fill it up with slanders, sip the cup with other sinners
Murmurers who murmur, murderers who murder
Hey, livin' for the moment, they forgot bout what's eternal
Workers of inequity, livin' life so devilish, drifted into darkness, 'cuz they compromise they fellowship
God ain't lookin' for perfection just for progress
Sanctification is a journey and a process
You'll find power in his presence and his promise (Promise)
I'll be honest, I act just like Doubting Thomas
Let me see your hands, lord, show me where your scars at
Shine the light of heaven on my heart and where it's dark at
This world so wicked, they say God is what you make 'em
They push him away instead of choosin' to embrace him
I can't imagine his heart achin' man, and breakin'
That the creator, rejected by his creation
That's why I hate Satan and everything he stand for
I seen greatly the film, fall for evil scandals
It just take seconds now for you and yours to slip (Yours to slip)
You thought you had a grip on life and lost your grip
Tryna build your castle, you forgot to count your cost (Cost)
What make you think you get the crown before the cross?

[Verse 3: Brandon Trejo]
Lord, we live inside a falling world
Everything of you is madness
Please, help us in this Babylon, to control this damage
You got me shakin' me head like I got dreads again
Holy Father, come fill these nations with your reverence
We need to watch out for deception that the devil bring
Don't wanna suffer for the foolish things
Lost my doubt in the middle of the war
Prayin' he come back, cuz' the lord [?]
Mind, the simples ones say 'I'm good at what I'm makin'
God's will better but you whether stay in isolation
I pray, I pray that you make it make sense
Stop usin' other things for the defenses
I pray, I pray, that your decision's are grown but sometimes they don't know
All of the trauma the Lord has got me through
They don't know
When I hear his word in the midst we surely lost
Father help me, I can't do this on my own
I pray that my soul stays in your will, my Lord, I'll abide in you until you bring us home
Bring us home
All of the trauma the Lord has got me through
They don't know
When I hear his word in the midst we surely lost
Father help me, I can't do this on my own
I pray that my soul stays in your will, my Lord, I'll abide in you until you bring us home
Bring us home
