[Verse 1]

Yeah

I look around and see the work of Satan

So many lost souls stuck in a religious matrix

So many been told that God has just forsaken

Them and their only purpose is to wait for Satan, that’s not true

James tried to speak the truth and they maced him

Jesus died for you and I they strung Him up like laces

Left Him on the wooden cross to witness God forsake Him

Drops of blood turned to water, puddles where the pain is

Living proof, nothing can survive on the mountain

Experience the high and then its down to earth among the lions Among the wicked ones who prеy among the soul survivors

Of such apostles who had walked Nеbuchadnezzar’s fire

I’m watching the return through the lens of a dream

Different races don’t recognize the same team

Different nations don’t recognize the same King

Even Martin Luther King would have had the same dreams, I’m like


[Verse 2]

You saying these lives matter, what about the Creator

There woulda been no women if God didn’t create her

There woulda been no righteous men in history if God didn’t breathe into the earth while it was listening

Noah’s ark, yeah, He coulda cut it there, yeah He coulda scrapped it all

This is pride before the fall, and we living it

God wrote the story and almost time to finish it

Waiting on the day the trumpets sounding off

Think of the day when my momma got that call

Grandpa went to be with Jesus, honestly I didn’t see it

Questioning like what’s the meaning

I realized later it was crunch time and his number getting called, that was all

How 'bout the time my other Papa got surgery

Open heart, man I knew it tore my dad apart

Doctor said he might not make it through

He came out smiling cuz he knew that God had seen him through


[Verse 3]

I know they watching all the things I do, tryna catch me slipping Communion wine in front of me I’m sippin'

By the holy grace of God I’ve gotten rid of my addictions

Inner-city missions, tryna show the meaning of a Christian

Drop His name and then we drop dead

Tryna censor us like leaked news against the feds

Tryna advocate for freedom of everything but it comes to religion And they saying ours is good as dead

So where do we draw the line for mortals

Last time I checked the path to Heaven isn’t through a portal

Man we doing things on earth that no one else thinks is immoral

Like killing babies before they leave the womb, it’s horrible

If we got a problem man, then go ahead and solve it

I don’t want to fit in, man I’d rather die honest

Honestly I’d rather be canceled then crucified, but if it was to be the latter least I’ll end up more alive
