[Intro]

In the past, I heard some disrespectful comments made about my music and my faith. It's time to address them


[Verse 1]

Oh my gosh, is this fool Lorenzo about to talk about God again?

Well there aren't a lot of people around here that will, so I guess I am

There are a bunch of broken lives deprived of hearing about the man who rose after he died

Why is it okay to rap about drugs and money and then look at me funny when I mention the man in the sky?

Several people only want to hear the same lame overplayed songs about turning up

Then underage teens are brainwashed to partying and putting lean in their cup

They're also taught to do anything to get the guap

And live the thug life and pretend to be like 2Pac

Am I the only one who thinks this should be stopped?

Is anyone else tired of people getting shot?

So if I remember correctly if I talk about God, then my record won't get played

And people won't listen to me anyways because I don't brag about getting laid

That’s not important because I want to see souls saved

People need to know that Christ died and was raised

So the penalties of their sins has been paid

We need is to trust God and rebuke our evil ways

But unfortunately, there are people who think we have no sanity for following Christianity and would rather live their lives in immorality instead of dedicating their life to the man who died for humanity

I can't stand to see people living in vanity as a result of social anomie

Which is why I must be the man that I was planned to be

And become a music missionary


[Chorus]

A lot of these people goin' hate

I know everybody doesn't agree with me

But I'm unashamed of my faith

And I gotta spread the Gospel which means you know I gotta preach! Preach! Preach! Preach!

You know I gotta preach! Preach! Preach! Preach!


[Verse 2]

Lorenzo, why are you always shoving your religion down my throat

All I hear your rap about is God, and it's really starting to make me choke

Why can't you be like them other rappers who like to drink, party, and smoke?

You must be delirious; you can't be serious

This must be some kind of a joke!

I can't go a single day walking through the hallways without hearing somebody screaming the f-bomb

Followed by a disrespectful comment towards women that deserves a big ol' slap from your mom

Now people are considered cool when they harm their bodies with cigarettes, weed, and bongs?

And have unprotected pre-marital sex while your math class is going on?

Do you see God anywhere in this picture because honestly I don’t

It seems pretty evident to me that this is Satan being shoved down people's throats. Apparently I shouldn't talk about Jesus during school because somebody might take him offensively

But it's perfectly okay for the students and the teachers to practice the use profanity

I'm an outsider and an anomaly

Go ahead and tease me for promoting celibacy

I don't need a Bud Light to party

The Holy Spirit can offer you guidance through life, not molly

I don't know what school you're going to but what's being promoted here is ungodly

As long as people are promoting the Devil's policies

I'm gonna talk about God and you can't stop me!


[Chorus]

A lot of these people goin' hate

I know everybody doesn't agree with me

But I'm unashamed of my faith

And I gotta spread the Gospel which means you know I gotta preach! Preach! Preach! Preach!

You know I gotta preach! Preach! Preach! Preach!


[Bridge]

A lot of people will not listen

They don't want to feel conviction

Pray the LORD will clear their vision

Bless their lives with Godly wisdom

Some people don't like my mission

Sin leads them in opposition

I'm part of the Great Commission

Preach his word in all the nations

A lot of people will not listen

They don't want to feel conviction

Pray the LORD will clear their vision

Bless their lives with Godly wisdom

Some people don't like my mission

Sin leads them in opposition

I'm part of the Great Commission

Preach his word in all the nations


[Chorus]

A lot of these people goin' hate

I know everybody doesn't agree with me

But I'm unashamed of my faith

And I gotta spread the Gospel which means you know I gotta preach! Preach! Preach! Preach!

You know I gotta preach! Preach! Preach! Preach!

You know I gotta preach!
