Salt

I get little comments from the old homies
They say I'm salty now
Well they sure got it right mayne
Renaissance
Let's get it
I refuse to be sitting 'round
And talking 'bout it
I gotta get up and get out and be
All about it
If a muslim or an atheist
Can be going one hundred
How much more should I be out here
Tryna kill it like I'm hunting
So I got my bow and arrow
If it's for the Lord
Then I'm gassed up like Valeros
I used to be a slave like the Israelites to Pharaoh
Now I'm free and speaking truth
Got 'em staring down the barrel
Now we really gotta shine
Running out of time
Brother can't you see the signs
If you can't see what's going on
I think you might be blind
You needa fix your focus
Be renewed up in your mind
Gotta stay on it
Gotta stay focused
If I don't know what to do
Then Imma pray on it
Boys be trippin' cause
I ain't no longer strayin' homie
Instead I pray and proclaim
With the flame homie
Our brothers and sisters be dying daily
Overseas 'cause they stand for the faith
And they ain't afraid
See, we over here in the states
Thinking I can't wait till they pay me
So I can drive a Mercedes
And get all the finest ladies
Either that or we lazy
Or scared to offend the same people
That we say need the saving
Man it's driving me crazy
Don't you know about the babies
That getting killed on the daily
Or violent murders, overdoses, car accidents
That taking place every second
About a hundred and fifty thousand
About a hundred a minute
Go under quickly without Him
Of course, I mean
Jesus Christ He's the only One
That can save
To have what the people need
But only run is a waste

Pray strong
And spread the Gospel without fear
Take on
Your calling don't waste your time
They don't
Want us to shine while we out here
But we gotta be the salt
We the salt of the earth
We the salt of the earth, baby
Say, we the salt of the earth
Light of the world, salt of the earth now
I was born for this time and this place
It's about that time
That we shining with faith

We seeing a decline in the State
Get up off that sideline
And grind for the faith
Don't keep your mouth closed
Man, get out there and speak
Even if they offended
Still you got what they need
I know at times you feeling like
It's impossible
These are the kinda lies that
Were meant to hold back
The Gospel of Peace
We can't stop or retreat
We care for the people perishing
We got a Hope to share with them
Why should I be embarrassed when
I'm just trying to keep you from drowning
See, when I was without the Lord
And was helpless
Ain't no one try to reach out to me

Pray strong
And spread the Gospel without fear
Take on
Your calling don't waste your time
They don't
Want us to shine while we out here
But we gotta be that salt
We the salt of the earth
We the salt of the earth, baby
Say, we the salt of the earth
Light of the world, salt of the earth now
It's about that time
That we shining with faith
