[Verse 1]

Opened up my eyes to the world and now I see

They got a lot of guns and they aimin' at me

'Cause they say I love the church, I don't care about the streets

That's so far from the truth, why they lyin' on me?

And where am I supposed to be? Tryin' to play my role

Stayin' faithful to the Gospel, seen a lot of growth

Been a lot of testimonies all around the globe

And I ain't braggin', that's from rappin' 'bout what God has spoke

It used to be a gift now it's criticized

If my heart is for the church, why is this a crime?

Whatever happened to the days when the mistress bride

Was speakin' life into the body? I'm a bit surprised

Better recognize

[Chorus]

Lookin' at the church got my eyes on the streets

Lookin' at the world with they eyes on me

What they talkin' 'bout, huh? Jesus is for everybody

Huh? Jesus is for everybody

Lookin' at the poor, got my eyes on the rich

Lookin' at the trap boys and the life of a prince

What they talkin' 'bout, huh? Jesus is for everybody

Huh? Jesus is for everybody

[Verse 2]

Opened up my eyes to the church and now I see

Them automatic weapons and they aimin' at me

Say I'm preachin' to the choir, people dyin' in the streets

You'd be preachin' to 'em too if you've seen 'em lately

No doubt is in my mind, it's makin' perfect sense

Am I doin' something wrong talkin' to the saints?

I'm just givin' 'em my all and I'm in my own skin

While I'm buildin' up the body, walkin' in His grace

But while I'm talkin' to the church I hope they overhear

We want the whole world to know we over here

I'm talk-talk-talkin' from the lawyers and the doctors

To the corners with the choppers

To the homies in the barber chair, my whole career

[Chorus]

Lookin' at the church got my eyes on the streets

Lookin' at the world with they eyes on me

What they talkin' 'bout, huh? Jesus is for everybody

Huh? Jesus is for everybody

Lookin' at the poor, got my eyes on the rich

Lookin' at the trap boys and the life of a prince

What they talkin' 'bout, huh? Jesus is for everybody

Huh? Jesus is for everybody

[Verse 3]

Just for a moment can I stand in my own defense?

I had a brief talk with Kanye West

Did it with Nick Cannon, only told my friends

That issue with Tech N9ne? A little more complex

And I can tell you impressed I'm talkin' with the stars

What good is that if I don't speak to security guards?

Something's wrong with my maturity, charity's flawed

'Cause I ain't speakin', man this whole family is lost

I guess the moral of the story is

Jesus Christ came for the notorious, and the saint

Grace for the less glorious, and the famed

Understand where the glory is, it's in His name

[Chorus]

Lookin' at the church got my eyes on the streets

Lookin' at the world with they eyes on me

What they talkin' 'bout, huh? Jesus is for everybody

Huh? Jesus is for everybody

Lookin' at the poor, got my eyes on the rich

Lookin' at the trap boys and the life of a prince

What they talkin' 'bout, huh? Jesus is for everybody

Huh? Jesus is for everybody

[Outro]

JIFE, JIFE, J.I.F.E

Jesus is for everybody

Blacks, whites, rich, poor

Church folks, the religious

No matter where you are, whatever walk of life

Jesus is for you
