[Verse 1]

You can find me in the church, focused and alert

No suit and tie, jeans and a t-shirt

I'm into praising God coz He made us out of dirt

And plus He gave His life for this world's evil works

So flirt with that, most of y'all can't jerk with that

Coz it ain't no benefits and no perks with that

Still gotta live your life on this earth with that

But we live eternally and I can work with that

Yeah I cheated, yeah I lust within

But guess what, that's why I trust in Him

See you thinking that you ain't that bad

You just lying to yourself playboy

You better check your health

While you all about the cash and ice

Hope you ready for change

You just broke the first commandment twice

And I know that you done stole before

If it wasn't a gun, it was some gum from the grocery store

It's all sin to God, man look into God

You guilty, you ain't even a friend to God

Sin gotta high price, it'll cost your life

But God fit that bill on the cross with Christ


[Chorus]

Crossover from death to life

What's the hold up, accept the Christ

We flex the mic to rep for Christ

So we can put your soul at rest tonight


[Verse 2]

I don't catch the Spirit, I'm all filled up

I can't lose it either, I'm all sealed up

And you can bet your life, I'ma rep for Christ

One taste, He'll get you right

Folks is thinking they Christian

But when they sinning they don't

Feel the conviction that the

Spirit is giving and they

Keep living life like that's cool with me

Y'all people ain't fooling me

Try to play me to the left

Like I'm tryna get deep on em

This is real talk dawg, you better peep something

This ain't that philosophic rap like homonym

And I ain't talking bout the God you heard about from mom and them

Put that blunt out dawg, put down that Heineken

Man God understands. What, come again?

I guess you think that God is kinda like yo momma huh?

Like He ain't even tripping on your sinning and your drama


[Chorus]

Crossover from death to life

What's the hold up, accept the Christ

We flex the mic to rep for Christ

So we can put your soul at rest tonight


[Verse 3]

Life's way more then ice and rims

And you don't make enough to pay the price of sin

And God's gone judge you dawg, that's reality

Saying you don't believe is like saying there ain't no gravity

Then running off to go jump a cliff

And when you hit the ground tell me what you get?

Why you running from the freedom of the gospel?

You hostile, you looking like you Lucifer's apostle

But God got you and though we all deserve death

He still keep putting breath in your nostrils

But you treat Him like an obstacle

See Him come at your convenience like a Stop-N-Go

Waiting for a sweeter deal or a sign or something

Like God ain't come down and die or something

Trust me dawg, God wants the best for you

That's why the gospel of Christ is addressed to you


[Chorus]

Crossover from death to life

What's the hold up, accept the Christ

We flex the mic to rep for Christ

So we can put your soul at rest tonight
