The Accused

Y'know
When we first put out this song
I don't think people really got it like they were supposed to get it
Think it's time to bring it back
D. Steele, yours truly on the beat
The Accused

Oh so quickly we accuse
Casting judgment's what we do
If God's grace never came through
You'd point those fingers back at you
Oh so quickly we accuse
Casting judgment's what we do
If God's grace never came through
You'd point those fingers back at you

Rap's murderous message needs an affirmative edit
While I'm determined with efforts to give Christ superlative credit
Demons know I throw dirt on their methods when my verses express it
Or teenage moms with their infants, breach their calm in an instant
Like terrorists dropping bombs repping Islam on our children
But this is no attack on Muslims, for what it's worth
I know believers who everyday straight 9 eleven the church
Swinging an axe of hate instead of living out acts of faith
While greed's filling a pastor's plate
In mega-churches almost bigger than the half-state this Christian's not half awake
To what's up, so I ain't spitting the trash of late
Family's too estranged from kids too cool to change
With minds so twisted like they got rubix cubes for brains, who's to blame
Is it secular artists we're always questioning
Or self-righteousness that really doesn't rep the king
We don't impact a world so they can realize faith
We call Wayne the anti-Christ and demonize Drake
Cause it's so easy, that's why it's caught hold
Of the church and we forget these people are still lost souls
Or souls that's been hurt and if we pray for them often
Maybe they'll see past the dollar signs and amazing proportions
Of the women that come around, see their spirits and dumb it down
Instead we're quick to judge, it's hard for me to stomach now

You better watch your tone
If you ain't a sinner, please cast the first stone
We need to take care of home
Before we even judge, need to check our own
You better watch your tone
If you ain't a sinner, please cast the first stone
We need to take care of home
Before we even judge, need to check our own

Oh so quickly we accuse
Casting judgment's what we do
If God's grace never came through
You'd point those fingers back at you
Oh so quickly we accuse
Casting judgment's what we do
If God's grace never came through
You'd point those fingers back at you, back at you

Yo, demons had me inherently cocky
As a 'Giant' in my sin, then I turn 'Saint' faster than Jeremy Shockey
But now as a sinner saved by grace it's embarrassing
Instead of being humble, in it's place there is arrogance
We use our scripture favorites as a license to judge on twitter pages
And it's real contagious
And it still amazes me, the fact that we act like we never had a past
I can't help but laugh at that
I ain't saying pop culture isn't suspect
Sin rules the world and we're it's loyal subjects
But when you use youtube, to damn another superstar to hell
On speculations, what about ourselves
The beating of Rihanna was the topic of discussion
But before Chris Brown, there was Juanita Bynum's husband
Now ex, a pastor if I'm not mistaken
You can hate on my opinion, you could even hate Jason
But when I watch Behind The Music and witness
The story of Dmx and how it's awfully twisted
To be specific, even after fame and the riches
There's still a pain that's existent, how he's stained by sadistic
Episodes of beatings that he used to endure
Some laugh at him, others persecuting him more
There's a heart for God there but demonic leeches are tearing him to pieces
He needs Jesus not judgment from believers

You better watch your tone
If you ain't a sinner, please cast the first stone
We need to take care of home
Before we even judge, need to check our own
You better watch your tone
If you ain't a sinner, please cast the first stone
We need to take care of home
Before we even judge, need to check our own

Oh so quickly we accuse
Casting judgment's what we do
If God's grace never came through
You'd point those fingers back at you
Oh so quickly we accuse
Casting judgment's what we do
If God's grace never came through
You'd point those fingers back at you, back at you

You better watch your tone
If you ain't a sinner, please cast the first stone
We need to take care of home
Before we even judge, need to check our own
