[muzeOne]
Metallic metaphors locking down once open doors
Vain repetition echoing off of empty corridors
Dirty floors, dingy and dusty, air stale and musty
Rugged as Rugby, yo kid, for real this place is ugly
Curiosity drug me deeper in this heartless darkness
Mind racing, wondering who on earth could be a part of this?
The architect of destruction must have been a human hand
What foolish plans, who on earth would build their house on fluid sand?
Ran through it and found a cage with a man chained to the back wall
Came closer, saw his face, I almost had a heart attack y'all
Stepped back, stalled in awe of this sight before my face
It was Christ bound up, mouth strapped, closed with duct tape
Is this a mistake, a bad joke, if it is, I ain't laughing
Thoughts and actions blasting out the lot to ask what happened
Rapidly unchained my Savior, took the tape up off His mouth
Asked Him, Lord what happened, yo I can't figure this out
He explained to me the pain which He endured ever so patiently
Faithfully facing His death in order to get this wretched building
Finally after His own spirit was let go
He snatched the key from the owner after three days in escrow
The transaction was sealed by the mark of the Holy Ghost
Stuff was cool until destruction decided to boast
Lies and greed decided to hide the Seed
They bum-rushed violently 'til pride of life uptaked the title deed
Feeding the flesh, leaving the temple looking scary B
New tenant, heresy, landlord is popularity
The Lord spoke of His grand design He had in mind
His plan was kind but the building stands blind
To the simple fact that these other towers are crumbling
Who need the grand Architect and now I'm left wondering
One question burned, Lord what place could this be?
He said, sadly the heart of most so-called Christian emcees
[Timothy Brindle]
As Muze was saying
You ain't conveying the truth
Or displaying your fruit when your music's playing
Who's obeying?
If we're created to worship Christ
How come you never stated His purchase price?
Rearrange your steez and change your thesis
Some Christian emcees seem ashamed of Jesus
But when you do talk principles and try to drop syllables
About God they're not biblical
If you saints are Christian and you're chosen and saved
Why ain't you spitting about how He rose from the grave?
On your tape it's sublime
If you're basing your rhyme on anything but His grace, you're wasting time
How could you not represent what God heaven-sent?
Just to cop props, man stop and repent
Don't lose your crown just to prove you're down
It's sin or righteousness, there's no neutral ground
Claim we repping Christ just to sell records B
Nah we preach coz souls face hell's treachery
You see the comparison, man people are perishing
In your rhymes, is the word Jesus embarrassing?
I'd rather have no fans and spit the gospel bro
Than rap dope jams just to get popular
Why ignore His Honor?
Deny Christ before men and get denied before the Father
We worship fervently
Might as well get used to praising Him now, we'll be worshiping for eternity
Running your traps, the rhymes you dealt are selfish
And some of you cats are kind of health and wealthish
Not to send this hostile
But a lot of these gospel rappers don't present the gospel
So Timothy and Muze came to bring you the news
We minister to simply lift the King of the Jews
[Shai Linne]
Like Timothy was spitting
Speak what's true, no beef with you
What's offending me is your writtens
Let's reason together brethren
If your profession of faith is real that means you're going to heaven
By grace through faith in Christ we're eternal lifers
Forever we'll be partaking in heavenly cyphas
But if I pass the mic to angelic beings
Would they flip silly schemes about how they had the illest wings?
Or would they say how they used those wings
To cover their feet and eyes in the presence of Jehovah El Shaddai?
I should clarify lest I be misunderstood
Make sure you're not so earthly minded that you're no heavenly good
You say you witness with your lips, we witness with our life for Christ
It's not either or, it's both and to be precise
Lips without life makes you a hypocrite
Life without lips a moralist
Either way the Lord is dissed
And I hear the chorus line you and your supporters chime
Forget boring rhymes, saying Jesus' name forty times
Dawg if you said it forty million times
That wouldn't be enough to praise the God
Who took you out your filth and slime
We spit our King's message of reconciliation
You spit your message of skills and affiliation
Who's your king?
You choose to sing about your clout in beats
But out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks
That's right, you're not a gospel emcee, you're a Christian who raps
Word, here's something you can listen to black
We're smashing all notions of rap and promotion through bragging and boasting
Coz cats should know that provokes His wrath and explosion
My avid devotion, passion and emotion for my Master Jehovah
Who fashioned the oceans, got my flags in the open
