Righteous

(album: Flame - 2004)

[Verse One]
As I rightly divide, between truth and lies
I can present with proof how He knew these guys
Were going to cry on Him, spit on Him and gonna lie on Him
Third day from laying away was gonna rise on them
Took His righteousness purged my sin
Blood dripping from the cross as He urges men
Some serving Him, putting 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 setting me
Straight from all angles, giving 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 flossing the King tonight in 'hoods

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

[Verse Two]
First I was unclean, it was so dark I was unseen
Now my light beams, running 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, casting in my cares cause my hurt is His
Writing 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 living all of us Christians are forgiven for that awful living
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 going higher in Christ so now I book flight

[Chorus]

[Verse Three]
All of a sudden His righteousness is like a lifestyle
Calling my brothers come outta struggling to Christ now
All of you cluckers put down the drugs and throw the pipe down
Get rid of the sinful living 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
Fighting with giving, when you can be ignited and get righteous living
And right with God I take a look back into history
I'm seeing the death no longer a mystery
Seeing 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
