Redeemed Thought - Bless the Mic

Verse 1: Muze-ONE
Exercising the work of ministry with ink bleeding on loose leaf/
This troop seeks to bless God with ill rhymes over looped beats/
With unique techniques by buerau of better beats/
My soul speaks to peeps who are feeling their spirit seek/
After fulfillment, a cry from with in that can't be muzzled/
The missing piece of the puzzle only filled with an exact fit/
From the infinite portion of God's ever present grace/
Once imparted in your heart there ain't nothing that can extract it/
Attack with precision from Jah's blessed design/
Confine your life to corridors that leaves you left behind/
Or left helpless, left alone, left out or left at night/
Left lifestyle has got your heart immune to what is right/
But we ignite to right the wrongs of which this world has written/
Spitting rhymes so fat that cat's may choke if this was bitten/
Seems fitting that the dark out weighs the light in a world this broken/
Words spoke in spoken word, some words are better off unspoken/
Toking each breath of your life to achieve a false reality/
Yet knowing the riches found in Christ leaves me so shook it rattles me/
And baffles me, you would rather deny Christ for the sake of pleasing your own lust and wealth/
Knowing the outcome's hell/
But we come in the name of the Lord with an offer that can't be refused/
The ball's in your court, we pray that you choose who we choose/
The same God who came to earth to die upon a cross/
Counted it all lost, and bore more shame than holocaust/
The cost was paid that one day, we remember while breaking bread/
Just to prove who he was, 3 days later rose from the dead/
And yet conviction hits your heart because you lack the life that's promised/
In chapter 1 of Ephesians and you're bent on not believing/
And you continue to fill yourself with all the dirt that his life can offer you/
Get so deep the world ends up on top of you/
Crushing you, squeezing you, taking your life and leaving you bruised/
yet the only one who can help you bears the name of "King of the Jews".

Hook:
We bless the mic with some words that you'll never forget/
Baptize the crowd with living water lyrics we spit/
We bless the mic with the Word that'll bring you new life/
Shine bright, check your life while we're blessing the mic/
We bless the mic with some words that you'll never forget/
Baptize the crowd with livng water lyrics we spit/
We bless the mic with the Word that'll bring you new life/
Shine bright, check your life while we're blessing the mic.

Verse 2: Stephen the Levite
Microphone check one two, do you hear the Lord dropping/
Rhyme a word like rain on your noggin'/
That's the sound of the Lord at your heart knocking/
A beat rocking under the sound of sound doctrine/
It's like God's beat boxing/
A rhythm that's got the trees watching the beasts popping and locking/
The Holy Spirit's like the hype man/
And God the Son is the emcee, prophesying and plotting/
To blot sin, ever since the worlds' foundation/
Now the Hip Hop nation is getting the invitation/
Waiting on the RSVP patiently/
While the saints be, dilly dallying with the delivery/
MCs use moronic metaphors and silly similes/
Vain babbling leaving the track empty/
But I MC to get the Message Conveyed to those enslaved/
By the seductive, secular serenade/
Slash swan song, life's odyssey’s got sirens wit' thongs on/
And all who listen are long gone/
And I don't mean in Hong Kong eating won tons/
I mean hell dwelling cats who got the gong thinking God's wrong/
So I identify the lie like Bob Larson/
One day the world will be the victim of divine arson/
So what you gonna do when your jewels and your house and your car's gone/
And your opportunity is far gone/
Most of these cats got it all wrong/
Thinking there's a party in hell where bad folks get there grove on/
But then on the flip side when they die/
They're friends try to say they're in heaven watching them from the sky/
I'm not trying to trivialize the tragedy/
But heads go to hell believing the same fallacy/
The word says we can't live in carnality and expect the benefits of Christianity.
