Verse 1: After the Platinum Souls Tour I did with
Crossmovement/ I said my good byes cause I had to fly back
St. Louis/ I left the tour early for my first semester in
school/ I was exposed to so much truth that I had to chose/
between what I had learned and what I was taught to do/ at
my church home my zone I was so confused/ that first Sunday
morning back it was like cultural shock/ watching the
shepherd and sheep explode like a soda pop/ that had been
shaken they shaken over these shiesty sermons/ people
spitin’ and shoutin’ but nobody’s discernin’/ I left the
building my feelings were crushed I felt forsaken/ the one
place I was suppose to come for restoration/ and worship of
a Holy God and exalt Him in praises/ spent the whole prayer
time rebuking at Satan/ spent the whole sermon time just
talking about money/ while I was dying inside and
spiritually hungry
Hook: Give us the Truth/ That’s what we need if we gone
properly teach/ if we gone seek and we gone properly reach/
Give us the Truth/ That’s what we need if we gone carry our
cross/ if we gone effectively disciple the lost/ Give us the
Truth/ That’s what we need if we gone walk up on holiness
and boldness and meek and lowliness/ Give us the Truth/
That’s what we need in this race we running proper lessons
as we wait for His 2nd coming
Verse 2: I left the crib moved into the dorms/ so depressed
that I ventured in porn/ it was a crazy thing/I felt a
disconnect from Jesus’ arms so I ceased to write these
rhythms and poems/ to disobey the King/ I told my teachers
that I was living in sin/ and my Bible I’d never read it
again/ and threw it in the closet/ and anything that had to
do with God Marcus T. he was doing the opposite/ as a
lifestyle/ I called Phanatik and Tonic on the cell/ and said
from ministry that I was gonna chill/ cause I was in no
position/ to minister to anybody at all cause I wasn’t sure
if I was a Christian/ at that moment dawg I started skippin’
classes/ hangin’ with the masses/ and my days were black and
gray like cigarette ashes/ all I know is that I wanted to
die/ but suicide meant meeting the God that I thought
forsook me
Hook
Verse 3: But it was obvious/ God in His providence/ put me
with people to guide me and got me out of this/ during a
chapel service a cat name Paul Washer/ preach the gospel and
drove me onto the Lord’s altar/ and I confess my sin/ and He
pressed reset again/ I started over/ and felt like a soldier
for Jehovah/ I called my old pastor and apologized for how I
behaved/ but as of that day we agreed to go our separate
ways/ met this girl named Beth who told me about her church
home/ first I’d visit/ became a member/ and then it was on/
then the pastor gave me a stack of books/ now I’m back with
raps and hooks/ took a summer and spent 300 dollars/ on
tapes and books and learned from these Biblical scholars/
now I’m back and I’m walking in light livin’ my life
glorifying Jesus the Christ
Hook
