[Chorus]

Pride comes before the fall

So how do you like your crow, well-done, medium or raw

Humble yourself, good call, prostrate, submit

The meek will inherit the Kingdom of God, word bond

Pride comes before the fall

So how do you like your crow, well-done, medium or raw

Humble yourself, good call, prostrate, submit

The meek will inherit the Kingdom of God, word bond


[Verse 1: Page One]

I keep watch lest I be enticed, represent Christ within this hip hop culture

Been rhymin' over half of my lifetime without exposure

Always relied on my ability

As an emcee, but now I take pride in my humility?

But how would I react in fact if you said you dug the track

But fast-forwarded past my verse 'cause you thought it was wack

Equating evaluating with hating

Fading into obscurity, purity masquerading

Now I'm left pondering why

My helping and listening ear won't offset my wandering eye

Damaging dialect, might well put in motion the butterfly effect, I connect

My foot with my own open mouth, verbal contortionism

Sought after more than wisdom is to be found acceptable

Brighter or duller tones, we're multicolored stones

Within the ephod, susceptible to this mentality, flawed

Though it may be, men would be angels, angels would be God


[Chorus]

Pride comes before the fall

So how do you like your crow, well-done, medium or raw

Humble yourself, good call, prostrate, submit

The meek will inherit the Kingdom of God, word bond

Pride comes before the fall

So how do you like your crow, well-done, medium or raw

Humble yourself, good call, prostrate, submit

The meek will inherit the Kingdom of God, word bond


[Verse 2: Nickels]

Reach into the deepest fibers of my soul

Pluck out the seeds of Sheol

Pay my toll, I stole, killed and destroyed

Right alongside the Sith Lord

Burry your sword into my abdomen, I caused death

From the edges of my tongue, clench my breath

And squeeze, my life is a disease

Take this guilt I have from me please

Nothing left, will you love me tomorrow?

Creation rotates around you, I am sorrow

From the marrow of my bones I crawl

To the throne room of the Most High

I die, why should You revive me? I suck

Every hair from Your beard You know that I plucked

You stood from Your throne and You opened heavens door

Where sin abounds, grace does abound much more


[Chorus]

Pride comes before the fall

So how do you like your crow, well-done, medium or raw

Humble yourself, good call, prostrate, submit

The meek will inherit the Kingdom of God, word bond

Pride comes before the fall

So how do you like your crow, well-done, medium or raw

Humble yourself, good call, prostrate, submit

The meek will inherit the Kingdom of God, word bond


[Verse 3: Othello]

'Tis far easier for a camel to enter the eye of a needle

Than an emcee full of testosterone

Filled to the brim with prideful egotistical supercharged

Motivated conceit, this description once described me

Beating my face against the concrete

Ashamed and convicted for missing God's will like that of Sadducee

Confine God to a box and throw rocks at thoughts and opinions

To go against the grain of religion feeding on the holier then thou concept

Nuclear bomb threats at allies dominion

Here on earth all a part of God's kingdom

Judge a tree by its fruit and what it produces

It's only with Christ not involved that the music's vain and useless

In the act of saving souls..huh so here I am swallowing crows

Before the throne shamed faced and feeling along

Hang my head and take a step back away from the microphone

As it leaves its stand and hovers in front of my face I'm once again reminded of his grace

And how patient he is, and how faithful he is

And when I blatantly did the opposite of righteousness

Now I confess Him as the greatest

Thanks for second, third and fourth chances to bring the ruckus, Lord, it's mad appreciated


[Chorus]

Pride comes before the fall

So how do you like your crow, well-done, medium or raw

Humble yourself, good call, prostrate, submit

The meek will inherit the Kingdom of God, word bond

Pride comes before the fall

So how do you like your crow, well-done, medium or raw

Humble yourself, good call, prostrate, submit

The meek will inherit the Kingdom of God, word bond
