My Clothes, My Hair

[Chorus]
So many people are hurt inside
Don't even know Him even though they might have heard of God
Can He love me, will He hear my prayer?
Or think I'm ugly when He see's my clothes and sees my hair
I heard of a Savior, heard He bled and died
And we can give Him our sin and we can get His life
Yet I wonder for me if He will He even care
When He sees my clothes or when He sees my hair

[VERSE 1]
Let me get up in this verse right now
I'm thinking back to when we first got down
I only groped but when You searched I found
Snatched quick though You knew how I acted
That's what's sick, I was a pick that You drafted
A backflip with a split couldn't be more backwards
In fact that's classic, I love to see Your tactics
But I think back to when I'd shrink back on the real B
It's real deep, I really thought You could never feel me
Cause my shirts were double-X when really I was a small
Double shirts for the effect when really it wasn't called for
Pants baggie, they sagged and dragged on the floor
But I was never that boy to show the back of his draws
But I did hang, kicked slang, me and my boys did
Rocked doo-rags till it put a crease in our foreheads
And on the surface others said we were worthless
But I'm glad You purposed to love us
And You made us Your purchase ah!

[VERSE 2]
I was convinced of Your power
So I was down to comply with Your standard
You're God the Father, Creator
I was Your product
But I noticed my focus it wasn't on You
My hope was You would meet me in heaven
But as for earth I'd roll with the hood
I really didn't want Your heaven
Just didn't want hell more
I really didn't want Your presence
Just didn't want hell more
I didn't know You were beautiful
You made advances
But in fact I pushed You back like a cuticle
I was a bad date
But now I know what it was
You got lumped in with some people like a crab cake
They elevate their own (they celebrate)
They make their own what's right
They say it's what You like
Everything else they make it wrong
I'm glad You don't hate our music or fashion
Unless these things and how You intend us to use em are clashing
Cause for us this is just a part of the culture
But it's the reason why some think they shouldn't try to approach You oh!

[BRIDGE]
Man sees the outside
But God sees the inside
No matter your outside
Through faith He'll come inside

[VERSE 3]
I could weep
So many people never heard of the Name
Yeah they heard the word Jesus but never heard of His fame
They feel cut off from Him
Not just cause of their sin
But because of their clothes, hair or their color of skin
And they been afloat, drowning in sin, we're in a Boat
Yet they've never been approached coz we see em as different folks
God's offer's universal yeah, He wants you in His circle yeah
He wants you in a doo-rag and He wants you in the purple hair
Now you can just take a cursory glance at the word and see
God made the plans of diversity
Is there one godly ethnic group in the Church?
Should we all wear one polyester suit?
Or maybe rock sandals and robes, no ham I suppose
When we meet maybe we should only eat salmon and loaves
Should we only like the organ or the violin, I'm inquiring
I admire men up in the choir and women
But one minute why do some people assume that
God's iPod got no tunes that got the boom-bap?
He's with White, with Black, with Lat
With Asian, with Rock, Country, Jazz, with Rap so..
