I Told You

[intro: Scar]
I told you to leave your seats or at least to stand up and wave
I told you we three would answer with that PB&J
I told you through feast and famine Remnant fans would be straight
So learn the anthem and say I told ya, babe, I told you

[Verse One: Tribe One]
The Remnant's still here, still rapping, still local
Still skilled with ill vocals, not signed, but real hopeful
We kick it old-school as if we thought of it first
Just like we told you, we rock it like we're not of this earth

Our body of work is probably the modern day version
Of Hollywood merging with politics for knowledge and nourishment
We went to college as nerds in the fall of the turn of the century
We followed the Word and we calmly emerged as the men you see

The Remnant speaks at venues like you bought expensive seats
Meanwhile we waive the entrance fees and get our friends in free
My pen extends from me and when it bleeds again
I speak a sentence then it mends the beat that separated them

And we pretend there's never been an easier way
Who else you know could reinvent the PB&J?
We in the A , 'cause our other plans totally fell through
That's why we're called The Remnant, I told you we'd tell you

[Chorus]
I told you to leave your seats or at least to stand up and wave
I told you we three would answer with that PB&J
I told you through feast and famine Remnant fans would be straight
So learn the anthem and say I told ya, babe, I told you

[Verse 2: Just John]
You should've seen this one coming, you've got the keenness and cunning
To know it's often cold and dark before it's scenic and sunny
As evanescent as a bulimic's tummy, the interim before the
Remnant's on the scene again like Kenan but funny

On a Saturday Night skit, tables turning like Tina flows
Madder than Ike get, passing playa haters like PETA
Madder than Mike Vick , fascinators who [?]
[?] faster than psychics insight that Christ gives

You like it (Uh huh!) We told you you might
We know that His Holiness is an emotional type
We posted our foliage on a shoulder you like
To invoke a little openness we'll coax you to fight

It ain't instigatin', more like motivating a soldier (sir!)
To demonstrate some faith and play some faces of poker
The Remnant pen and paper, DJ [?] it's over
Feel like braille on the scales of a cobra, I told ya

[Chorus]
I told you to leave your seats or at least to stand up and wave
I told you we three would answer with that PB&J
I told you through feast and famine Remnant fans would be straight
So learn the anthem and say I told ya, babe, I told you

[Verse 3: Adan Bean]
Look I told you we'd return like cicadas in the blazing sun
Well that day has come, production thumping from make up un-
Influenced by the native tongues as well as the Savior's son
The Remnant's here to rock like what David flung (maybe? Um...)

My written prose is fish and loaves
Given to those who wish that low
Rhythmic flows would stitch and sew
Grip their soul and wouldn't let go
Instead it treads on [?]
Video hoes with skimpy clothes
From the nip of their nose to their tippity toes
They're even exposed on kiddie shows

We came to clean house like yard sales
Got our fans leaning over guardrails, allergic to such a sharp smell
Adan Barksdale, I'm in the Holy Spirit's cartel
Pushing great weight off your shoulders like barbells

Or dead-lifts, I'm dead, lift shrimp with my penmanship
That's gift of salvation for those who
Waiting for our return? No need to hold your breath
Trust us, you love us, you just don't know it yet

[Final Chorus]
I told you to leave your seats or at least to stand up and wave
I told you we three would answer with that PB&J
I told you through feast and famine Remnant fans would be straight
So learn the anthem and say I told ya man

I told you to leave your seats or at least to stand up and wave
I told you we three would answer with that PB&J
I told you through feast and famine Remnant fans would be straight
So learn the anthem and say I told ya, babe
