Hey Yo I’m back but nobody was asking where I been

Cause Christ-centered music is no longer the hot trend

Logic says well maybe I should just stop then

But I never got into this for a spot in the top ten

I do this for one reason- Jesus, the True King, son

To help God’s elect obey Hebrews 3:1

And though the rap world is ever crowded

If heaven allows it, I’ll keep writing for the seven thousand

I know you’re out there, I still get the emails

Against the church of Christ the gates of hell will never prevail

It’s founded on the Rock and the gospel never stops

So we droppin’ the topic whether it’s popular or not

Sin is noxious and toxic and the clock is gonna stop

God is not to be boxed with, the wrath of God is burning hot

We were locked in sin’s closet, our conflict was cosmic

God plotted to stop it, hit the demonic with a shot

I was coppin' narcotics, agnostic with a plot

No optics for the knowledge of the God who often knocked

Jesus rocked me with the gospel and it tied me up in knots

So I hopped in a rocket and met the Prophet at the top

[Interlude]

That's just another way of saying I met God in the Scriptures

But we just gonna let that breathe for a second, you nah mean?

The Bible says "He who has been forgiven much, loves much"

We gonna talk about BC a little bit

My depravity was total, not small like pox

I was chained to sin, I couldn’t take off the locks

I thought I was a player, a mack with the flavor

Say “I know what the time is”, but I ain’t read Isaiah

I would chuckle daily as I paid for disgrace

Eyes were always puffy like I got sprayed with mace

I would toot my horn at parties and I would do bars

Got so intoxicated I was ready to do Mars

Notorious for acting pretty silly in my city Philly

Friends hear about it and be like, “Whoa, Did he really?”

Because I played dirty Bill Laimbeer style

Through great mercy Spirit-filled and dear child

Went from so gritty to headed to a gold city

In Christ I shine, the world’s like, “No Biggie”

Whatever- time to sing, I’m putting faith on the song

1:12 displayed in John the way to respond

When His patience runs out, then it’s time for the rod, man

Microwave wrath of God, fam

That’s why because of Christ I got mad joy

All I’m saying is I used to be a bad boy!

But nowadays I’m regenerated

Born again from above, fam, how else can I state it?

Went from various vices to a kid that’s married to Christ

Using literary devices to spit it very precise

My conversion to the Master was so dramatic

I just wanted to be an ambassador (Ambassador) or fanatic (Phanatik)

The gospel was my tonic (Tonic)- With Christ I couldn’t lose

But to walk with God like Enoch (Enock), I knew I couldn’t cruise (Cruz)

This walk is a beast but nothing’s greater than the cross

Saw the Mark of the East and the Raiderz of the Lost

While Tower Records was choosing to carry G-Unit

I was on that Revolutionary Theme Musik

The brothers from the Lou held it down as well

But we noticed a big shift in 2012

Around the time Jackie asked me about Calvinism

Christian Hip-hop found a different algorithm

And crossed over without taking the cross over

Made us all sober -- years later, is it all over?

Trip asked me if I was still motivated

I was quiet, but I wanted to say “No, I hate it"

Because brothers in your camp causing lots of confusion

I love them as brothers in Christ, but not their conclusions

They wanna reach the world? By all means keep pursuing it

But tell me, why they gotta diss the church while they’re doing it?

That’s what I wanted to say, but I ain’t say it though

But no more laying low, I want them to play it slow

And I ain’t dissing them, my prayers are the proof

Like Boaz without Ruth is unity without truth

CHH is like gorillas in the mist

With no brotherly love, it’s like Philly don’t exist

What’s happening here? It’s a different atmosphere

Cats appear most concerned about a rap career

Brother overseas being slain in the sand

While we’re vain in our plans seeking fame and some fans

And I ain’t got time to philosophize, Satan got a plot devised

I’m seeing lots of guys apostatize

On top of all that, Donald Trump’s the president

It’s all good though, cause Jesus trumps the president

So more than ever, I’m trying to rep the Lord who bled

And we ain’t never gonna stop, word to Corey Red!

I’m just trying to give a healthy demonstration

Of theocentric music for the selfie generation

You see the problem is sin, no riddle in it

Cause all sin got “I” in the middle of it

We’re mad depraved and truly evil

We need to be born again without a Matt Damon movie sequel

In the gospel, God addresses our depravity

The Lamb slain at Calvary, the depths of His agony

He rose from the grave with abundant grace

So when we come in faith- He’ll bring us up from the “sunken place”

Our sin’s decrepit depths left a mess

No rest was left ’til Jesus put death to death

The beauty of the victory truly is a mystery

The cross of Jesus Christ is at the nucleus of history

Before the cross they were saved on credit

After the cross, we’ve been saved on debit

Since our Champion in the great war suffered

We gonna proclaim His death like the Lord’s Supper

So welcome to the Still Jesus project

Yo, we just getting started and we got a lot left!
