Word To My Peoples
(专辑: Because You Asked - 2014)
[Swoope:] That's word to my peoples Uh, I'm just trying to bring the
Word to my peoples This song is not for the
soft of skin I'm just a
little concerned that our hearing's hard The
problem is that our mouth's too big So it's hard for us to discern if we're hearing God See it's odd, we speak to repeated, tweet to be retweeted Impressed by our words and not the
teachings of Jesus Hard to tell the
old in the
faith, meet us where meat is If we don't ever grow in the
faith, keep us a
fetus Scriptures we're skimming through, keep a
few literate Rather have that half and half, preach that 2
percent to us Maybe speak lactaid, maybe rhyme Similac But if you rap steak, it's "I ain't into that" It's too deep man the
streets won't get it It's too big and the
streets want midgets Message never change and the
method ain't offensive So it ain't how I
rap man, it's really what the
gift is I
was giving the
Gospel, not as a
ritual But for me to steward that life to men So if I've hidden the
Gospel, only giving a
little Then I'm a
bad steward to the
mice and men Now I'm not saying I'm the
consignment deliverer of Scripture But don't put so much emphasis on me that you miss the
Point that I'm getting to, Bible was missing bruh Uh, uh, that's word to my peoples I'm just trying to bring the
Word to my peoples Uh, uh, that's word to my peoples I'm just trying to bring the
Word to my peoples Uh, uh, that's word to my peoples I'm just trying to bring the
Word to my peoples Uh, uh, that's word to my peoples Word, w-word, w-word, word I
did a
show back in Cleveland, Ohio That really had me contemplating leaving Ohio Taking my talents down to South Beach from Ohio I
was embarrassed like I
pee-peed on my clothes The
scene was nightmarish, was I
dreaming with eyes closed? I
just came to bring a
message from the
Text But all they wanted was the
same thing from their iPhone Stevie Jobs' drones, heads down, not praying but Made me wanna hang it up, beep from a
dial tone But then I
thought of the
King that's seated by God's throne And how He was beat, stabbed, and leaked from His side so I
hit the
stage and I
picked up the
microphone Tested 1-2, wasn't off so I
was on Boldly professed that the
King is awesome I
looked to my left, seen some people yawning I
looked to my right, they said "He is boring" Then back to my left, they moved to sleep from yawning Am I
speaking foreign, in preaching the
Gospel? Or speaking to foreigners that speakee no Bible? I
ain't speaking their language, to me this is dangerous When the
people abstain from truth, to seek entertainment Like Jesus a
side show, to me this is vital To pledge my allegiance to God, so I
am a
rider, I
give my all Call me Mariah, singing them high notes I'm preaching the
Gospel, in season and out yo God's [?] If you're watering down the
seed it will not grow And you cannot reap what is not sown Just like you cannot eat what is not grown I
give you what you need but may not want, the
Bible Uh, uh, that's word to my peoples I'm just trying to bring the
Word to my peoples Uh, uh, that's word to my peoples I'm just trying to bring the
Word to my peoples Uh, uh, that's word to my peoples I'm just trying to bring the
Word to my peoples Uh, uh, that's word to my peoples Word, w-word, w-word, word Rappers, constant concerts, where the
808's louder And it's not a
concert, unless you crowd surf People leaving out the
concert, like "Wowzers" They should be more wowed by what was not heard Pastors, budgets, buildings, and butts in the
pews But cats leaving out your building like "What's the
good news? I
mean I
got this good feeling but what's the
good news?" The
Bible or tithes yo, so what did you choose? Don't let your ministry become a
hindering to what is meant to be A
platform for the
living, active Scriptures G
So open your mouth and let the
Scriptures speak Or better yet, shut your mouth then let the
Scriptures speak It's better said when the
Trinity Uses men who weak as vessels and in the
strength have seen Faithless, faith get, as they hear and then believe But see they won't believe if we never Scripture preach And we can't Scripture preach if we never Scripture read If we don't dig our feet into the
riches, Mr. Deeds Don't miss the
thing that makes Mr. Filthy Mr. Clean Skipping on this wisdom is silly as Mr. Bean Word, if we don't stand on His fullness, we fail on E
And that's more than just a
misdemean-or That's word to my peoples [TJ Pompeo:] Na na na na So turn the
