Roll Now

(album: Moment Of Truth - 2004)

This is just another vertical jam
You know we fight for the faith like Roberto Duran
And catch us moving around as we further advance
The Kingdom of God hope your heart is fertile to plant
We pray the Lord of the harvest keep sending us out
Because we can not afford to just sit in the house
And sit on the couch playing video games in our rooms
We follow hard after God until we lay in our tombs
You know we're alienated like first century saints
As soon as they would enter the gates of a new city
The news would be in the ear gates of many
Who hated Christians who were committed to defending the faith
Just look at Pliny the Great
Plenty of great Christian men and women contending were signed at the stake
So now we go from city to stand
Forwarding truth that counters the videos that MTV plays.

We on a roll now baby
Throwing them bows who's in control now
Jesus He came down, baby things ain't the same now
Since we've been changed blood did it now I'm in it to stay now.

I know this is odd but I know this is God
Using Christian Hip-hop and R and B like Moses' rod
To deliver a people from evil, exposing the lies
That millions of rappers tell when they flow in their rhymes
Envy, hate, murder, lust and pride is what they sow in the lives
Of millions of listeners listening, hoping that I
Would paint a prettier picture, blowing smoke in their eyes
But nah God's got emotions, can't hold them inside
He's using His people to speak the truth in the midst of a people who
Are Godless and just barely religious not at all Godly or Christ like
Lord Jesus just keep shining your bright light
In and through us you're the head and we're your beautiful feet
There's a mutual beef between you and seed of Satan himself
Wicked men they do replace you with wealth
Wish you would just stay to yourself
But you're using us to build a case for yourself.

We on a roll now baby
Throwing them bows who's in control now
Jesus He came down, baby things ain't the same now
Since we've been changed blood did it now I'm in it to stay now.

How many people have ever seen American Idol
Of course money, power and sex are America's idols
Yo! You can find this in America's bible
Yo! America's dying, America's idle
America's rivals are not merely Osama or other terrorist either
America's rival is in the mirror that's right in front of our hearts
Front if you want but some of our hearts are dark y'all
Just as black as the night
You can tell because we happen to like the stuff that happens at night
Preferring wrong rather than practicing what's right
We don't want to see videos unless some booty is in it
And don't want to see movies unless we know nudity's in it
Yo! That's evidence and proof that we're sinners
And need s Savior as sure as a bad tooth needs a dentist
Yo! Praise God that the booth was invented
So now globally people can hear when God's truth is presented
Yo! Through this medium of music we're Christians
Who refused to be whimpish when persecution is mentioned
Yo! 'Cause we live if we die for the king
Hip-hop and the gospel baby that's a dynamic team.

We on a roll now baby
Throwing them bows who's in control now
Jesus He came down, baby things ain't the same now
Since we've been changed blood did it now I'm in it to stay now.
