Shut Down Time

Uh!
It's shut down time, it's shut down time
I'm a Christian, what now, I'ma bust out rhymes
That'll get ya, fidgetin' and getting' outta the kitchen
'Cause it's so hot, I want you to know God,
I wish you would listen...
It's shut down time, it's shut down time
I'm a Christian, what now, I'ma bust out rhymes
That'll get ya, fidgetin' and getting' outta the kitchen
'Cause it's so hot, I want you to know God, so listen...
Y'all better recognize who stepped in the house
When I open my mouth, Christ gonna come out
And everything I do, I do in Jesus name
And when I get off the mic, it won't be the same
'Cause everywhere I go, the Holy Ghost is with me
He's tuggin' on hearts, and He is convicting
So all negative behavior, He's restricting
I mean you can do it, but it will feel sickening
'Cause you'll feel guilty, don't be mad at me
It wasn't me who told you that your rappin' had to be
Clean, but you're lookin' at it like it's a tragedy
For you to grab a mic and flow without profanity
Well that'll be the Lord's doin', Homey, I'ont
Want you sayin', "That dude's tryin' to hold me down!"
Uh uh, you can have fun, but only clown
With respect, 'cause now this stage is Holy ground...
Shut it down!...
It's shut down time, it's shut down time
I'm a Christian, what now, I'ma bust out rhymes
That'll get ya, fidgetin' and getting' outta the kitchen
'Cause it's so hot, I want you to know God,
I wish you would listen...
It's shut down time, it's shut down time
I'm a Christian, what now, I'ma bust out rhymes
That'll get ya, fidgetin' and getting' outta the kitchen
'Cause it's so hot, I want you to know God, so listen...
I'm infiltratin' darkness like Army troopers
And you're probably thinkin' that I'm a party pooper
But that's alright, I won't be sayin' sorry to ya
I will say, "Glory to God!" and "Hallelujah!"
And that means "Praise God"! Why all of the fussin'?
I wasn't when you were bustin' yo' rappin' with cussin'
When it's your turn, express yourself, flow what you like
But understand, now I got a hold of the mic
You can't control it when I got it expressin' myself
I let you do it, so can I do it? Yes, and I shall
Lift up the Lord, try to reach you, and stress that I'm saved
And I'm expectin' me to get all the respect that I gave
Please believe I ain't tryin' to spoil it for ya
But light and dark are sorta like oil and water
They don't go together, now you have to decide
If you gone try to bring the dark back after the light...
Shut it down!...
It's shut down time, it's shut down time
I'm a Christian, what now, I'ma bust out rhymes
That'll get ya, fidgetin' and getting' outta the kitchen
'Cause it's so hot, I want you to know God,
I wish you would listen...
It's shut down time, it's shut down time
I'm a Christian, what now, I'ma bust out rhymes
That'll get ya, fidgetin' and getting' outta the kitchen
'Cause it's so hot, I want you to know God, so listen...
I can't be lettin' the way that you rap change me
If my rap changed you, then hey, don't blame me
Blame God, if we gotta be finger pointin'
Your changin' is only because of the Anointin'
As soon as I brought Word, I know that you all heard
The Word of God to ya, and it made you feel awkward
You been in the dark for so long, when the light hit
You had to cover your eyes when I hit the light switch
You're wonderin' why do I do gospel
'Cause God so loved you I can't afford not to
And I do too, I can't help it, I got to
Besides, you got to admit that it's hot too
I don't got to be foul, it proves to me
I can be sweet without cussin', that's how it used to be
In rappin', but that's alright, the way it is is perfect
And if I lead one cat to the Lord, it's worth it... kill it!...
It's shut down time, it's shut down time
I'm a Christian, what now, I'ma bust out rhymes
That'll get ya, fidgetin' and getting' outta the kitchen
'Cause it's so hot, I want you to know God,
I wish you would listen...
It's shut down time, it's shut down time
I'm a Christian, what now, I'ma bust out rhymes
That'll get ya, fidgetin' and getting' outta the kitchen
'Cause it's so hot, I want you to know God, so listen...
