Soldier the Brainchyld - Dead to Sin Remix
(from the album The Paradox)
© copyright 2007

Hook:
Dead to Sin and alive in Christ/
It’s only by grace that He raised a sinner to life/
Since He’s resurrected and He’s risen/
Now I fix my eyes on the cross with a vision/

Verse 1: Soldier the Brainchyld
Let me bear the cross of Christ as I'm speaking the art/
They say life is what you make it so I'm playing my part/
Blessed by the mighty grace, I speak life with motivation/
Cultivate my faith through this type of dedication/
Christ washed my sins when I was lost in captivation/
So I recite to the mic with this type of salvation/
Used to dwell in the realms of sin and separation/
Now I'm aligned with the Divine and my flows so amazing/
A raw SOJOURNER, preach the TRUTH of Christ to the globe/
Done paid a sacrifice when I'm spitting the flow/
But I keep my eyes on the prize and maintain my faith/
Christ renewed my mind that's why I'm walking in grace/
So I press on in the race and let Christ dwell in the track/
Carry a vision in my fist 'til I'm kicking the fact/
See, I zone out in a rap while you were chasing the wind/
'Cause Christ emptied His Blood when I was sleeping in sin.

Hook:

Verse 2: Soldier the Brainchyld
I plant my feet on the Word and I walk with faith/
Never eclipse the Son ‘cause Christ covered me in His grace/
I’m holding fast to the truth, and etch my name in the Book of Life/
Cultivate my mind ‘til I see the face of Jesus Christ/
While you searching for the fast life, trying to blast mics/
It’s the cross I bear to give the streets this type of black sight/
See, I stay on perfect time while you were fiending for cream/
And make Christ my portion, see I be chasing my dreams/
Brothers claim they on top but I search for deeper purpose/
Just call me the spiritual pilgrim ‘cause I’m dead to earth/
My mission, to preach Christ in the form of this type of rhyme/
And make sure the life I lead is aligned with the Lord/
I bite my tongue to speak the art, journey through the course of life/
Meditate on the Word and let my perception mature/
From tape decks to the land of blacks who never made it/
I Put My Fist Up to dreams like those who got assassinated.

Hook:

Verse 3: Exodus
Man Lord, it’s hard to let go/
Of my old ways but I pray you show/
Me how to take up your cross just as Your Son did/
The only way for me to discover that is just dig/
Into Your Word to see how righteous men live/
I can’t lie to You, I’ve done my dirt/
And will admit later on it hurts/
But thank God we can ask for forgiveness/
Repentance means to turn away from your sins/
Sacrificing our flesh ‘til the Spirit man wins/
That way unbelievers can start to see/
The light in us that brightens the whole scene/
Jesus humbled Himself just as we should/
Going through the dead pool just like Clint Eastwood/
No longer dead to sin but born again/
Through the Triune God grace and peace amen.
