The Bridge

[Verse 1: Tonic]
Hip-Hop set out in the dark
We used to do it out in the park
And now that Hip-Hop has revealed its heart we need a Bridge like Noah's Ark
Adam and Eve the throwback Lois and Clark
Took a hit from the kryptonite right from the start
And the effects of this sin has torn us apart from God
And now Hip-Hop is more than Art it's hard
Perpetrated to the highest degree as young shorty's percolated tll they tired and weak
And now it's so circulated we're a nation of freak
We feel the weight and hercules it only to our defeat
There's not a man that ever lived that can carry the Law
Except the Man that ever lives who carried the cross
Now we can act like we don't know what time it is
But if we don't repent surely we can not live
Cause we need

[Hook: All]
The bridge, the br--the br--the bridge
The br--the bridge
The br--the br--the bridge
The br--the bridge
The br--the br--the bridge
The br--the bridge
The br--the br--the bridge
The br--the bridge
The br--the br--the bridge
The br--the bridge
The br--the br--the bridge
The br--the bridge
The br--the br--the bridge
The br--the bridge, the bridge is takin' over!

[Verse 2: T.R.U.-L.I.F.E.]
Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the adrenaline filled life of a mic engineer that should of been killed
But instead the Head of my life footed the bill
I'm indebted to Christ cause this Dude is the Real
Look I don't have many ends and even if I did it wouldn't be enough to pay for my sins
Before I was born He was beaten flesh was torn so I've sworn my allegiance till I'm dead and gone
His kindness led me steadily by showing me everything in my heart was potentially deadly
He asked for my hand so I gave it
The war is different now
New rules of engagement
Was living foul like flagrant
But life smells sweet to God so now I'm fragrant
You think you got a life I can show you how to live
Holler at your boy then I'll meet you at the Bridge

[Verse 3: Phanatik]
Man I'm glad I found a Bridge that connected me cause I was all out the way like Schenectady
How was I going to get to the hot spot? (following me?) I was headed to that hot spot
H-E double where God is not
He saved me from my trouble plus the body rock
Now He's taking me to the true party spot
Catch me with my new body ock ...
Classic from back in the day but that was B.C. I ain't going back to those days this is the new me
Catch me making passionate plays on words and phrases
Helping you see the Passion as the place it's like a bridge
To help you get across stuff
The cross does just that
And it's just that it's all love
All justice all grace all mercy all wrath but that's the only way you see His face cause He's the Bridge

[Hook: All]
The bridge, the br--the br--the bridge
The br--the bridge
The br--the br--the bridge
The br--the bridge
The br--the br--the bridge
The br--the bridge
The br--the br--the bridge
The br--the bridge
The br--the br--the bridge
The br--the bridge
The br--the br--the bridge
The br--the bridge
The br--the br--the bridge
The br--the bridge

[Verse 4: Ambassador]
In this world you better be strapped heavily
Never leave home without carefully packing your heavenly weaponry
And no matter what your strategy better read
They hate the Savior so they hate your pedigree
Better believe the emcee medley
We all readily credit the God who said let it be
And says let it stay but y'all better learn
One day He's gonna say: okay now let it burn
Let us turn drop the clock stop the marijuana
I'm not the cops but I got a Pops you have to honor
Death stalks like Terminator did Sarah Connor
Let's walk across the Bridge He's like the Verrazzano
.. you were down and God saw this
Sent His flawless Son who says enter My office
Where He offers to cleanse men in Living Waters
He'll show you who the Lord is and why He gives the orders
When your heart feels the soreness from sin it's sure is good to know Christ penetrates your hardcore-ness
He made the thug and plus He made the ghetto
Real unique like the Greek word monogeneto
I know it's deep but I warned you from the get go
I can't be petro
Can't run and hide like a gecko
Let's go
Christ is the Bridge let it echo
You can come home and stop roamin' like a Greco

[Hook: All]
The bridge, the br--the br--the bridge
The br--the bridge
The br--the br--the bridge
The br--the bridge
The br--the br--the bridge
The br--the bridge
The br--the br--the bridge
The br--the bridge
The br--the br--the bridge
The br--the bridge
The br--the br--the bridge
The br--the bridge
The br--the br--the bridge
The br--the bridge, the bridge is takin' over!
