lyrics

(Chorus)
Oh so quickly we accuse
Casting judgment’s what we do
If God’s grace never came through
You’d point those fingers back at you
(2x)

Rap’s murderous message needs an affirmative edit
While I’m determined with efforts to give Christ superlative credit
Demons know I throw dirt on their methods when my verses express it
They lost their patience (patients) more than nurses or medics
Or teenage moms with their infants, breach their calm in an instant
Like terrorists dropping bomb repping Islam on our children
But this is no attack on Muslims, for what it’s worth
I know believers who everyday straight 9/11 the church
Swinging an axe of hate instead of living out acts of faith
While greed’s filling a pastor’s plate
In mega-churches almost bigger than the half-state this Christian’s not half awake...
to what’s up, so I ain’t spitting the trash of late
Family’s too estranged from kids too cool to change
With minds so twisted like they got rubix cubes for brains, who’s to blame
Is it secular artists we’re always questioning
Or is it self-righteousness that really doesn’t rep the king
We don’t impact a world so they can realize faith
We call Wayne the anti-Christ & demonize Drake
‘Cause it’s so easy, that’s why it’s caught hold
Of the church & we forget these people are still lost souls
Or souls that’s been hurt & if we pray for them often
Maybe they’ll see past the dollar signs & amazing proportions
Of the women that come around, see their spirits & dumb it down
Instead we’re quick to judge & it’s hard for me to stomach now

(Bridge)
You better watch your tone
If you ain’t a sinner, please cast the first stone
We need to take care of home
Before we even judge, need to check our own.
(2x)

(Chorus)

Demons had me inherently cocky
As a ‘Giant’ in my sin, that I turn ‘Saint’ faster than Jeremy Shockey
But now as a sinner saved by grace it’s embarrassing
Instead of being humble, in it’s place there is arrogance
We use our scripture favorites as a license to judge on twitter pages
& it’s real contagious
And it still amazes me, the fact that we act like we never had a past
I can’t help but laugh at that
I’m not saying pop culture isn’t suspect
Sin rules the wold & we’re it’s loyal subjects
But when you use youtube, to damn other superstar to hell
Off speculations, what about ourselves
The beating of Rihanna was the topic of discussion
But before Chris Brown, that was Juanita Bynum’s husband
Now ex, a pastor if I’m not mistaken
You can hate on my opinion, you could even hate Jason
But when I watch “Behind The Music” & witness
The story of DMX and how it’s awfully twisted
To be specific, even after fame & the riches
There’s still a pain that’s existent, how he’s stained by sadistic
Episodes of beatings that he used to endure
Some laugh at him, others persecuting him more
There’s a heart for God there but demonic leeches are tearing to pieces
He needs Jesus not judgment for believers

(Bridge)

(Chorus)
