Rap

You like rap? Naw, I ain't sayin' hip hop
(Huh) I said rap... R-a-p... rap
I'm trippin' on the junk that they be playin' on the radio
It seem like every song they play be lowdown and it's way below
The standard of rap when I started flowin' back in '84
And they think they jammin', but I got more jam in my baby toe
The air is full of rap that gets caught off after your mother heard
That violent, thuggish song that had to get bleeped every other word
Sexually explicit, materialistic super mack
It's like they puttin' every sin that they committed to a track
Sales exceeds the roof, it' saddens me,
'Cause this stuff feeds the youth?
Check Rasheed's reproof,
Don't give this to young folk that needs the truth
But they be stressin', "It's self expression!", but the kids obey
When you misuse it, see the issue is they think it's okay
See you can bring a song, and they will sing along, and dance to yo'
Ventin', identifying the problem, but no answer though
But the fans are so influenced in our society
That they glorify sin, that's why we are in dire need... of...
Christian Rap, put Christ in rap, 'cause
When you put the Most High in rap
Then it's gonna be what it's supposed to be,
Go 'head and flow with me
R-A-P is Rhythmic Anointed Poetry

I know, you're geeked, you got ice, well Bravo!
You're not po', got mo' cheese than nacho
Got dough, stay high, so hard like a rock, yo'
Message is cheaper than groceries at Costco
Now yo' flow done got old, like a fossil
And it needs to stop, though it seems impossible
Christians are hostile, sayin' I'm hip hop so
I go to secular, but they don't play gospel
Stuck between a rock and a place that's the hardest
While you keep getting garbage from the rap artists
In the industry, 'cause the enemy has just garnished
The gift that God meant for good, Satan had to tarnish
He's trickin' us into thinkin' that this ridiculous
Way that they be rappin' is cool, and I am sick of us
But God is pickin' us rappers of the Gospel to quicken us
To free this generation from the wickedness... with...

We come to lift the Lord Almighty, He's the One who
Loved you so much, He gave His only Begotten Son to
Die for you, then rise, wipin' every sin from you
Plus He went to hell, and beat the devil like Kung Fu
Now I ain't tryin' to front you off, but it is dumb to
Know that, and then let the devil come to you and punk you
He'll hunt you through rap, using hip hop to run you
But God is what you need, and I bet He's what you want too
But a lot of Saints in a pout, complainin' about
The fact we rap godly, and we bangin' it out
The speakers, we slangin' it out, without all the shame and the doubt
It's Gospel, so what you thinkin' about
You see, all we do is rap what you singin' about
We bringin' it out in detail explainin' it out
We just preachin' and reachin' kids you prayin' about
God's ordainin' it, I'll give Him the fame and the clout... it's 'bout...

Bring it back to what God made it
