[Intro]

Ryan Vetter, what up!

This was too good to pass up


[Verse]

Once upon a time, I started out as a fan

Your lyrical theology made you sound like the man

Stories that you told really showed me your depth

Penelope Judd inspired me, but you lost your step

Now you built an entire house using nothing but match sticks

Got to set it on fire, maybe later we pass this

Sad you gotta resort to these 50 cent tactics

Cash flow that low so you turn into a savage

That's the real meaning behind "false prophets"

We spoke privately but you left me no other options

You used to be the full-of-the-Word rapper

But now you sound like the mad theological nerd rapper

Martin and Luther would never cosign this

Not even sure Paul Washer would fly with this rogue pilot

Facts

Having a critique of Christian hip-hop is not the same as dissing the Church?

How you conclude that?

Facts, I'ma need you to retract

Stop idolizing CHH to a place it should've never been at

And I've never been one to be in my faith coasting

But I'm tired of y'all be boasting about how y'all don't be boasting

Facts: that's the epitome of false humility

Clearly you've been way out of touch with the youth

Like old white people saying they miss the good ol' days

Good ol' days for who?

'Cause I was ridiculed by mainly fans of you

Because I rapped about my life and wasn't theological

So you must be confused about some of my views

As if they're not rooted in the Word, that's just not true

Acts 17:16-32

Notice Paul didn't speak to the Greeks like they were Jews

And quote a bunch of Scripture they never heard or knew

Instead he quoted their own poets to break down God's truth

Now let's talk about the money like it's a pay day now

You know how much money I'd make going the KJ route?

Shoot, KJ told me to do it, but where's KJ now?

No diss to him, but he told me there's no way this could work out

I carved my own lane, never played it safe

And this has nothing to do with me trying to defend Lecrae

I'm sure the big homie is cool

And if the roles were reversed

This ain't even something big homie would do

You sound silly

Take proper precaution or I will slay you really

Consider all your options and motives was filthy

Outside wonder what's gotten into you

Using Mexican stereotypes in that interlude

You got some explaining to do

Acting immature but older than all of us

You got some aging to do

Shout out to God Over Money, they been on the rise

'Cause of them and RMG, CHH doing just fine

And this ain't even something that I really like to speak about

But you dissing a generation without first seeking them out

Look, you're playing your own legacy

I care too much to just let it be

So you like how it was back in the day, huh?

No royalties for producers not getting paid, huh?

Cash money [?], cats getting played, huh?

Shoot, that's the generation that you came from

You need to start acting A-1

Embrace the youth, you could've been big brother from day one

Or you could stay silent and get out of your feelings

If Reach Records could stay quiet, then they probably still own millions

Hopefully this the free promo you were seeking

Or maybe it'll teach you a lesson to watch how you be speaking

Thinking the best about brothers you really knew

And not generalize all of us without knowing our point of view

See what happens when I make music and assume

About how things seem, we both end up looking like fools

Don't get it twisted, it's always been about Jesus

Even if CHH falls apart into a million pieces

We cause change from the inside out

Not by throwing stones from a glass house

We all got issues to deal with, we all proud

But I ain't finna act like I got it all figured out

And congrats on becoming a dad

Glad we got another brother that's been living it out

I'm out
