[Verse 1]

I shed a tear for them ones who ain’t want the cure for the venom

Sedated and unliberated they layin’ with Satan cuz they like the gifts that he send ‘em

But they do not know where their sin finna send ‘em

This wasn’t the plan but the sin He resented

The poisonous gene like a dangerous denim

It’s creepin’ the streets of American Nineveh

I try to plead with the people

They call it hate, they in love with the evil

They like to clutch it, the debt they encompass

They cannot afford it, it’s not in the budget

I cannot stay silent, I gotta say something

This like an onion, the more that you peel back the layers you find only weeping and gnashing of teeth like you tried to bite down on some rubber

I don’t know how many more summers

We gonna get ‘fore the King is upon us

Pleading repentance, you don’t want a sentence, it’s never gon’ end like you repeating commas

Death ain’t the end, feel the reaper upon us

You gonna get what you sow, and it’s not gon’ be sweet

I ain’t talking ‘bout handmade pajamas

There ain’t no sleep for the wicked, I promise


[Bridge]

Dawg why won’t you listen to me?

At the end of the day, the bell gonna ring and we all gon’ have somewhere to be

For once in your life, I swear that dismissal ain’t something that’s setting you free

You ain’t going home

If you hear those words, you know what you chose

He do you like Kevin, you gon’ be alone, man


[Verse 2]

The end is only the beginning

We been in the lobby, you entertained with sin as your hobby

You finna bow den, ain’t talking Bobby

You been a rebel, I ain’t talkin’ Rowdy

Lord, all the glory and the power is yours

You gonna have your revenge, I’m sure

Thank you for saving a sinner like me but I pray for the ones who are lost at sea

A fisher of men you made me

Casting out devils and bringing back babies

You are my child, though you disobey me

These are the words of the Lord

I love you even though you hate me

I love you even though you blame me, still when you pain me, though you betray me


[Break]


[Verse 3]

I know you could never repay me

So I’m sending my servants to follow the mission, to preach you the gospel and pray that you listen

I want you to know that I don’t want imprisonment, you are already in prison

I am just a Father who’s child is missing

I took all the sins of the world on myself just to give you a chance to make that decision

I never expected submission

I won’t take away your freedom to choose

I give and I take, but I never break an oath or a promise I’m making to you

Repent of your sin and come to the truth

I took the bullet that’s aiming at you

Satan took some of the angels but I went through Hell to keep him from taking you too
