[Verse 1]:

Yeah

Whaddup hip-hop, my favorite subculture

Where they smoke cush, get hooks from Frank Ocean

Rock a Raider's starter and forever change Oakland

Every five years, revisit who the dopest

Got a few of our kind that's knocking

Tryna get an audience with artists in the top ten

Tryna get an audience that's different from the norm

They finding that the ambience is strippers and a Porsche

Ain't tryna raise the standard, ain't tryna change the standard

Nah, they making sure the Truth stays the standard

Now, musically we lessened the disparity

Now we hoping that you hear our messages with clarity

Tryna build real relationships on the surface

But best believe we looking for conversions

That don't mean it ain't genuine

We ain't bait-and-switchin we just staying on mission

[Hook]:

C'mon

It's more to this heat

It's a drought out here and they parched

Yeah I gotta couple pails of water but it's dark

So, who gon' turn the lights on, who gon' light the path?

If we stay in the shadows when they parched

They gon' go thirsty, so have mercy

Gotta get it while it's day 'cause we gon' need that sunshine

Let's tell em why we here, man, it's time to make it clear

[Verse 2]:

This the postmodern age of non-confrontation

Passive-aggressive eggshell conversation

Easily offended, we'd rather stay PC

Rather being quiet than coming off preachy

Wait, y'all remember Paul's words to Timothy?

"Preach and exhort," man, it's vital to the ministry

We misquote Saint Francis of Assisi

And run the risk of Christians being branded as some sissies

When historically it's boldness that defines us

The Holy Spirit's work gives us words when the time comes

To share, preach, teach, and declare

We all been equipped, man, there's grace when we scared

We don't really like the term holiness

Seem like the new evangelism is to coexist

God forbid. This ain't life from the test tube

It's radical depravity and, man, we got the best news

[Hook]:

C'mon

It's more to this heat

It's a drought out here and they parched

Yeah I gotta couple pails of water but it's dark

So, who gon' turn the lights on, who gon' light the path?

If we stay in the shadows when they parched

They gon' go thirsty, so have mercy

Gotta get it while it's day 'cause we gon' need that sunshine

Let's tell em why we here, man, it's time to make it clear

[Verse 3]:

He said, "It's one God, many different paths."

I said, "There's only one God, many different drafts."

He took out a cigarette, took a little drag

Said that's some real ish bro, I ain't even mad

So I chilled, yeah I chilled I ain't get up in his face

But I wondered if he caught I was tryna show some grace

Like bro we not the same, dap me up and think it's cool

My heart is broken for you, man, if you only know

I been tripping in my mind like, "Have I really showed

The difference of my love, joy, peace, and self-control?"

Ain't tell him bout my church, man, we ain't read no verses

Just hope he saw a sinner, instead of a religious person

Just tryna put a stone in his shoe

Waking up his conscience to think about what's true

Versus what's a lie, and clearly examine

Just hope the seed planted turns back the famine

[Hook]:

C'mon

It's more to this heat

It's a drought out here and they parched

Yeah I gotta couple pails of water but it's dark

So, who gon' turn the lights on, who gon' light the path?

If we stay in the shadows when they parched

They gon' go thirsty, so have mercy

Gotta get it while it's day 'cause we gon' need that sunshine

Let's tell em why we here, man, it's time to make it clear
