The Recipe

I'm from the era where the emcee wasn't just an entertainer they were dropping them seeds / took root in the heart and it went deep / it bore fruit, you saw what got up in me / you could tell from my start I was with the gritty / from the walk I was in step with the city / street motto, make the money, hit the club, fit that hundred / nobody was rocking Jesus, everybody mocking Jesus / grace came to Hip-Hop and it hit a switch / the game changed / what? He flipped the script / more than 1 guy, more than 1 lady / met only 1 God and did a 180 / nothing was the same, Drake knows / we're all born sinners, just ask J Cole / but neither one got an answer for the cancer / that entered into man but call some amba's we got answers /

We're in a day where they thank God, all while they turn down (for what?) He's a great God / and they even say Jesus they are not afraid / but He's a personal belief .. / the world don't mind Him in your heart if you're a Christian / just not upfront, they don't mind Him in the kitchen / it's Hip-Hop or it's got all this religion / they say don't trip doc fall in line or get the vision / sometimes it seems they love Lucifer / I know they love things like chains and boots and fur / can't believe I'm back to this, can't believe I'm rapping this / talking bout what rapping is and for His glory Rap exists / you guessed it, I'm rested / it's time to get back to the theme God entrusted / and for the record, I know my gospel method / is David not Goliath but I know that God will bless it /

You in a car, they could skid off a slick road / or get repossessed after you bust a rhyme like flipmode / that chain you got you know it could rust or get stole / that fur a little moth can give a big hole / that house no matter the zip code it can get jacked if a robber wears black and can tip-toe / there's another you can fall back on just know / life without Him is a booby trap it will explode / switch teams? are you convinced? / this ain't a sick dream, what you need a pinch? / eyes up, get your knees down / no more I up, it's all He now / when I talk Jesus got a reason for it He's important / in or out of season but He's ignored / please ignore me but heed His voice / He the boss, see the Lord, see the cross / need a cost, tell me we don't need Him more? /
