Intro (Fela Kuti)

That is making the matters worse

That is going through slavery you see

Because our condition is not a condition of smiling [Mic Check]

Verse One (Reap3r)

I used to jump when they asked how high

Nowadays I jump when they pass me bananas

Submission for the living is a must if you never knew

By the window pews, she imagining the life she was living

Making a killing with ABCs – no Zimsec

These Cambridge thoughts made me less Pan-African

I’m more Israelite when I roam thy streets

The promise to the first Gentile I still keep

Mercy to the ignorant fools who think the Bible is a tool

For they personal glory and religious ends

Mercy to the Jews who forgot about Cornelius

For the kingdom of God is attained through Jesus

Hook

No smiling, and the boy ain’t smiling

No smiling, and the boy ain’t smiling

Verse 2

Water no get enemy – the homie still fluid

I ain’t through with this – hopped up out the shower with a fire verse

We don’t need a check, we still bounce on God credit

Kill the debit with the passion of Christ – desire His light

The mic set, you better come here quickly

The story ain’t done until I jump off the white horse

The dark knight making the streets light in dire times

We don’t rely on leaders, we let God move

The homies want the fertiliser then sphagetti roads later

Let me breathe, then we continue walking on water

Wiser than Solomon, my Father already said it

They go for the endorsements with the Holy Spirit in ‘em

I gotta talk about Jesus every time I be preaching

Who’s teaching these lies? They final day still coming

Why black man dey suffer – we gotta see it different

It’s a matter of perception, go and get your wealth boy

Hook

Verse 3

Skip to the tactics, the homies know we got this

Practice on a daily basis til you match this

The Baptist connects the service when I go and John

Paving the way for the coming of the Master

Black belt with the belt of truth on my waist

Rocking to the sound of the drums in the sun

Man never moved when we speak about the Son

In togetherness, that’s where you find me with the rhymes

Dear God, they busy asking ‘bout Mary

The way they praising, I thought I should marry Mary

Still I am a kid but through Your will she was immaculate

The executioner fine dines in my lawful thoughts

Dollar for my dreams, you are never purgatoring me

Gotta find ways to feed the state with my salary

Whatchu planning ‘bout this besides conversations

Jesus, they still wanna hush about salvation

Hook

Outro (Reap3r)

Let me just get this on point
