(from the album Flame)

Verse 1
As I rightly divide/
Between truth and lies/
I can present with proof how He knew these guys were goin' to cry on Him/
Spit on Him and gonna lie on Him/
Third day from layin' away was gonna rise on them/
Took His righteousness purged my sin/
Blood drippin' from the cross as He urges men/
Some servin' Him/
Puttin' position to come and bird with Him/
I mean to fly/
Most definitely want to fly/
If I draw nigh to Him He'll draw nigh to me/
I see God through Him that d-e-a-t-h settin' me straight from all angles/
Givin' charge to all angels the star spangled/
Banner doesn't have anything on Hosanna/
‘Cause the manner/
In which He does things for His offspring/
As awesome as it seems/
It’s right and good/
‘Cause I'm flossin' the King tonight in 'hoods

Brothers in the front we don't stunt cause we livin' righteous/
Homies on my left ain't no death cause we livin' righteous/
Shorties in the back we don't slack cause we livin' righteous/
Righteous livin' righteous livin'/
Homies on my right we alright cause we livin' righteous/
Brothers in the front we don't stunt cause we livin' righteous/
Shorties on my left ain't no death cause we livin' righteous/
righteous livin' righteous livin'

Verse 2
First I was unclean/
It was so dark I was unseen/
Now my light beams/
Runnin' to Christ or it might seem/
That I might cling/
To the righteousness of the King/
Or I might fiend/
For the dream of the bigger things/
'Cause the earth is His/
Castin' in my cares 'cause my hurt is His/
Writin' my songs and my verse is His/
The body of Christ or the church is His/
I search the Scriptures of God to see what my purpose is/
To give Him glory now I recognize/
I testified/
Then I blessed the God that rectified/
My wickedness when I was petrified/
Edified/
The body of Christ for them kingdom lies/
Or kingdom livin' all of us Christians are forgiven for that awful livin'/
To the beginners don't assemble yourself with the sinners/
All of us and Jesus are winners/
Now I look right/
'Cause of the blood now I look white/
I'm goin' higher in Christ so now I book flight

Hook


Verse 3
All of a sudden His righteousness is like a lifestyle/
Callin' my brothers come outta strugglin' to Christ now/
All of you cluckers put down the drugs and throw the pipe down/
Get rid of the sinful livin' and come into life now/
Take a look at the bigger picture and see mistakes made/
Be a witness for Christians and see Christ has the way made/
Way paved/
The daybreak bru I stay saved/
My wave praise/
We set free from them slave days/
Fightin' with givin'/
When you can be ignited and get righteous livin'/
And right with God I take a look back into history/
I'm seein' the death no longer a mystery/
Seein' Him resurrect/
My righteousness is that of a filthy rag/
My righteousness is that of a filthy rag/
My righteousness is that of a filthy rag/
I confess I was guilty Dad/
But then you cleansed me
