Verse 1: Mac the Doulos
This that holy hip hop, but easy homie/
Wait! Don’t tune me out take it easy homie/
We preaching Jesus, but please believe us/
In all honesty you really need this homie/
That’s why we hitting your block up with this God stuff/
The gospel of Christ the only truth not allah ‘cause/
I know hearing this in hip hop can be odd but/
If we didn’t ya only option would be ya grandma’s stuff/
And that’s cool and all/
But since cats love rap, we sneak the gospel in spitting truth in bars/
Still feel like I’m losing y’all/
If don’t rhyme about girls, cash, my crew, or cars/
Understand it don’t matter how much doe you get dude/
‘Cause when you go ain’t none of it going wit you/
To the afterlife that’s a fact of life/
It’s obvious you need to change your appetite/
‘Cause you hungry for the wrong types of things/
Like the status, the chrome and the icy chains/
You Materialistic a spiritual misfit/
You’re at odds with God and you’re willing to risk it/
So why it gotta be like that/
Forsaking the savior like he ain’t bleed like that/
Tortured and stretched on a tree like that/
Died, rose, and rolled, but said that he’d be right back.

Hook:
Resist the system-reject the status quo/
Buck against the world’s ways/
God’s got a better way/
Peep the alternative/
If you dead in sins you can turn and live/
That’s why He bled for you. Laid in the grave for you/
Raised in 3 days….the cost of sin’s paid for you!

Verse 2: Mac the Doulos
I work a 9 to 5 in Chester, PA/
You’d get depressed if I replayed what I see everyday/
Why? cats have opted to brush God under the carpet/
And all this causes is godlessness/
Look the Stakes is high like the Empire State sky scraper/
This situation’s major turning your back on the God who made ya/
You don’t wanna make that mistake ‘cause/
If you don’t follow Christ way…it’s a heavy price to pay/
Don’t wait ‘til you die then open up your eyes/
In hell to be like "dag! Yo, them Christians was right/
Hey yo! Recognize that we’ve all sinned/
And a just God just won’t let you slide/
It’s best you side with God’s Son/
Who came to taste death then rise just to rescue lives.

Hook:

Verse 3: Mac the Doulos
Oh so you trying to be a trap star/
Gunning to be the one running things like a track star/
Listen Christ endured the cross, died, and got up/
So you wouldn’t have to run the streets and get shot up/
And lil’ girls learn how to drop that and pop that/
I’m asking myself, “Hey Yo! Where they pops at/
Oh he a thug on the strip trying be a coke boss/
Or in the club with a chick trying get her clothes off/
And this is how cats in the hood think/
It stinks the enemy he got the hood hoodwinked/
It’s just disguised lies pulling the wool over your eyes/
Don’t be a fool open your eyes/
It’s so ill/
I’m on this bumpy ride through life and I’m seeing tons of road of kill/
Dead individuals and I ain’t talking bout the physical/
It’s spiritual to bring them back to life we need a miracle/
God is awesome/
But people got a priority list where God ain’t at the top we got a problem/
And its solving is only found in the God-man/
Who suffered the cross to recover the lost that’s God’s plan/
Jesus Christ the way, truth, the life/
And yup He can save you despite/
Who you are or what you’ve done in life/
You lost in darkness; you need to turn to the light.
