lyrics

1 I Just felt the need to sit down and rhyme

1 write my thoughts recite them in time

2these lines, just had to get out my head

2MCs ya'll feeling what I just said

3 the academics and uptight square cats

3think all rap is all a bunch of Horse crap

4sorry man, I guess you lose

4some of us are like modern day Langston Hughes

5inner city blues evolution of poetry

5 voice as a drum pad kinda like a 1 2 3

6 this grew on me, saw the possibilities

6english endless uses infinity

7incredibly radio plays the bad rap

7giving hip hop in general, a bad rap

8thats sad man, wasn't a rap fan

8till I diged the planets mixing it with Jazz and

9 found Christians with similar quality

9inspired me and the bars flew out of me

10now a part of me, nothing fake

10got a rap name but that’s just for the stage

11what I say is what I'm really thinking

11free from weed, Prozac or drinking

12reeping what I sow in the spirit

12when God speaks write down what I'm hearing

13no universal man up stairs

13Jehova-Jireh Jesus, the gift of air

14and that’s who I rep, and if ya hate that aspect

14sorry kid, I couldn't care less

15I'll take the stress of being seen

15as a religious corny Jesus MC

16no strings attached, Christ set me free

16but I see the majority in slavery

17fake reality, never saw the sun

17just sitting in the cave calling shadows fun

18munching blue pills, emotion and thrills

18the illusion of up but its really down hill

19ill in the sick sense, not in the cool

19unkowingly under the devil's rule

20got you fooled, soul prostitution

20when ya try to get em out, prosecution

21 my conviction is overwhelming

21 cant be nothing but truth I'm telling

22 selling out never gonna be an option

22 you don’t hear rhymers like this very often

23 and that’s a bad thing, I ain't bragging

23 we need more humble beasts out there rapping

24 that be a shout out, to a tight crew

24 creative hip hop to bob your head to

25 us your mind to, light shine through

25 help you see all the lies you were blind to

26 what I do, few will be feeling

26 when I talk about Christ and how he brings healing

27 but when I'm in the rhythm hands to the ceiling

27 and the music playing gives a good feeling

28 well that’s healing, on a bad day

28 but know that’s God healing you indirectly

29 cuz hey, he made rhythm and notes

29and the mouth to make sounds, the hands that wrote

30this verse, these words language I speak it in

30 and no it all didn't evolve by accident

31 its happening cuz he made it exist

31 and the dimension of time that I said this all in

32 spiritual medicine, I give the proscription

32 in a form most aren't use to hearing

33 should be ending, went a little too long

33 to hear straight bars no break in the song

34 but I wanna keep going, I wanna keep flowing

34 if this were a boat I would keeping rowing

35 hoping I didn't over stay my welcome

35 yo bean cut me out before I get second helpings
