Switchblade

Press the button, let the sword emerge, switchblade mechanism
Engage with God's word and get your brain up out of prison
Dig in the scripture maybe you'll get laced up with the wisdom
Take the pill for real get out the matrix and escape the system
They got you bugging cousin thinking that you know the ledge
Your getting fed, feasting on the flesh on some walking dead
You think you're deep though regurgitating what they said
Slum scholars misquoting books that they never read
To your defense, you've been misled that's why you spit the garbage
Let me straighten out your head instead so you can pay him homage
His name's Immanuel He lived, that's historical
It means "God with us" those are facts not rhetorical
There's never been a figure on this earth like Him
Those saying otherwise spit lies from the python
Some say we bit from Egyptology like it's an axiom
Press them to disclose and show from where they get they facts from
The premise of the argument is sheer hilarity
Some ancient deities and Jesus share similarities?
They stand amazed in awe asking "what's the odds"?
But actually, that's not hard amongst a hodge-podge of gods
See the devil been trying to fabricate God's image
He tried the same thing as a snake in the beginning
Trying to serve up lies on a plate like come and get it
I admit I took a taste by His grace though I spit it out

I've been bumping beats and listening to rhymes since the late 80s
Hip-hop shaped minds and it raised babies
As a youth running with the crew packed a trey-eighty
Want to do like dudes I played on my tape deck daily
What could I do I was a young fool impressionable
How could I know they was dropping jewels that was questionable
They spit their lies in rhymes so you can't digest the truth
It's all designed to keep you blind and just turn up the decibels
Long as they got an ill emcee killing the beat
They'll even get you to believe in reptilian elites
Then play off the fear they feed so you catch the creeps
Then prey on you like a pedophiliac catholic priest
Either that or Jimmy Swaggart then they say that's what religion is
So when somebody bring the Bible up you get belligerent
Unless it's Revelations that you take as a constituent
To your conspiracies other than that it's inconspicuous
That seems a lot like satan faking making quotes
Taking what is sacred, spake it, and then hating what he spoke
But the devil's always tried to make a weapon of the scroll
That's precisely what he tried to step with in Matthew 4
Oh, then you got the nerve to blame Christian folk
For the crusades but aim them fingers at them popes
Cause if you disregard the Word of God that He wrote and spoke
You'll get disposed of and exposed to catch the smoke

If you call yourself God your thoughts are limited and twisted
God is not dependent on anything for existence
Clarence 13X felt sins sting when death gripped him
Only Jesus ever stepped away from the grave a victor
Don't get Him twisted He's a Lion and a Lamb
Not a schizo what you'll get'll just depend on where you stand
Don't forget his track record He's obliterated lands
The wage of sin is death that's one hell of a payment plan
Cousin, those of us that recognize Him as our Savior
Know that He'd be justified if he was just to smite and slay us
But the sacrificial Lamb of God was offered as payment
That's His mercy with His grace
How you think He ain't the greatest (huh)
See what you need is exercising in humility
You sizing up to God is just a practice of futility
Your arms too short to box with His divinity
You couldn't keep in step with Him if you was a centipede
Who you gon find whose mind is omniscient?
There's no one existing who's fixing to fit this description
But what you gon find if you're climbing inside the Scripture
The wisdom gifted is why I'm insisting that y'all listen
But when I talk faith y'all want to take up and leave
I'm trying to take the book to your face, take up and read
Don't listen to the serpent tempting you to take from the tree
I pray you get the gift of grace and you get faith to believe
