Random Thoughts 2019

[Verse]
Ayo I'm back, but nobody was asking where I'd been
'Cause when idols get confronted, they say you cannot win
But I'm comforted by knowing through Christ, I'm God's friend
And by His grace, I will never change directions like topspin
I'm locked in, a God-centered verse in your face
He'll satisfy your thirst when you taste His mercy and grace
We live in a time of analysts trying to find the catalyst
For all kinds of savageness, stats, crimes, and averages
But never mind the blasphemous lines of an activist
Strategist who maligns the Divine Protagonist
Who you think it's all about, the star of the show?
It's Jesus Christ, the czar that you owe, you already know
It's not wise to defy Him, He'll slice through your pride
And life's suicide without Christ crucified (yeah)
He's the Lion and the Lamb at the same time
Trying to fight Him? You can't be of a sane mind
So since we know Him, let's adore Him
He deserves it, at one time our culture had reverence for Him
But over time I guess they quit being impressed
Maybe because they saw Him as a hippie in a dress
But read Revelation 1, you'll get a different picture
He's risen, listen to His description in the Scriptures
Golden sash around His chest, high claim Messiah
Feet like burnished bronze, eyes flame of fire
Voice louder than Niagara Falls
Face brighter than the sun, John staggers and falls
At His feet as though dead, to see Him's to know dread
And Jesus so bled so we can go spread
The fame of the King is the name that we sing
He tamed death's sting and He claims everything
Like the Abraham Kuyper quote, saved His fam, thank Him, man
He ignites our hope, praise the Lamb, Christ is dope
It amazes me to this day that God uses me
Especially when I reflect on who I used to be
Hip hop idolator, moralistic legalist
New age agnostic, Afrocentric hedonist
I was all about the sex, tryna flex
Das EFX, Malcolm X, countin' checks
I hated the God of the Bible, wouldn't stand to listen
I saw Christianity as the white man's religion
Used to oppressed to abuse and distress
Keep 'em glued to the pews and refused to progress
I didn't know the Bible showed true faith in Africa
You can't blame Jesus for crusades and massacres
Jesus is beautiful, He reigns and He's sovereign
Regardless of the actions of those who claim to follow Him
I focused on fake believers but not on myself
I was breathing God's air but leaving God on the shelf
When it came to saving myself, this kid was missing tons
My reality check bounced, insufficient funds
God brought me to a point where I came to realize
The Gospel of Jesus Christ, that's where the real lies
The only antidote to fight Satan's real lies
The scales were removed, now I see with real eyes (Uhh)
One thing I've seen that's not so pristine
Since the presidential election of 2016
A focus on politics controls the whole populace
Exposed so much rottenness, trolls so anonymous
But this is my hypothesis, I can say it with confidence:
In light of the apocalypse, politics is a pile of bricks
So why are we seeing biblical truth
Is sacrificed on the altar of political groups?
The Lord Jesus Christ is not a Democrat or Republican
He is the King of kings and Lord of lords who shed His blood for sin
Not only that, He died to make us one (One)
In union with the Church, Spirit, Father and the Son
Therefore, we have been united over grace (Grace)
So how the Church gonna be divided over race?
Something's amiss as we twist in this abyss
Amidst the drift and shift, I've witnessed this
White Christians not resisting viciousness
Black Christians who persist to lift the fist
So let's address the elephant with biblical intelligence
When it comes to indwelling sin, melanin is irrelevant
Christ wasn't European, that's a proper fact
But to quote, "Why does it matter whether God was black?"
His blood was red, blood that He shed for men
And if you don't accept the King, you'll be dead in sin forever
That's the bottom line, we running out of time
For the persecuted Church, every day is Columbine
What happened to the urgency, the human emergency?
Have we lost our fervency, failing to look vertically?
Only God in heaven can stop this downward spiral
Our only hope for survival is revival
To spurn being tribal, discern who's our rival
Learn from the Bible and turn from our idols
Lord, we look to Thee, our God and our Savior
'Cause Thou hath a way like Donny and Lalah
Put the nonsense to rest, my God's the best
And He can save anybody, even Kanye West
God rescues foul men, I'll testify then
I know it's true because He saved a wretch like Shai Linne
Ye's giving God praise, some won't lift their voice with him
But if the angels rejoice, then I'ma rejoice with 'em
But if it's true that a secular rapper's leavin' his sin
Will that make Christian rappers start talking Jesus again? (What?)
I better stop there before it get too hot here
So let me make this the last thing that I share
We represent the Lord Jesus Christ, no apology
