L.A.D.I.E.S.

Back then if I was a Jew the life that I led would

not be common/ I would be in prayer shawls anticipatin'

His comin'/ between 1 and 30 A.D. I'd be under the

Romans/ thankin' Yaweh that I'm not a slave, Gentile, or

woman/ now don't get it twisted a woman had to be

honored/ if you came from out of her womb you had to

obey your momma/ for the fact that she was a woman

wasn't the problem/ it's because she was forbidden to

publicly read the Talmud/ plus only allowed to be either in

the balcony or on the floor divided to avoid problems/ and

forbade to pray out loud/ when it came to religious life for

women it was grey outside/ till Christ came in the picture

switched up some customs/ now these same women are

providin' Jesus with substance/ leavin' Jewish men

grieved/ they ain't agree/ cause out of these women's

means they ministered to their needs

Look at Jesus maneuva in spite of the culture/

taken ladies and shapin' em makin' em soldiers/ peep this

type of behavior was taboo/ Jesus seen with Joanna (Luke

8:13) would make Him a bad Jew/ but Jesus called some of

the grimiest women/ like prostitutes even some of the

slimiest women/ in hot pursuit/ women are weak is not the

truth/ and just to prove this point ladies I got the proof/

wouldn't be a Timothy without Timothy's moms/ Eunice

speakin' to Tim in them spiritual psalms/ the way women

were treated then these are similar times/ but yet the men

of God recognize ya strength/ who were the first witnesses

of the empty tomb/ who birth Jesus being a virgin Holy

Spirit consumed/ who stood for God way back in them

Exodus times/ and wouldn't even let em kill they son

(Exodus 1:16)

Jesus did walk with women in a special way/ this

was odd for men in the first century/ Look at God callin'

women to the ministry/ Jesus did walk with the ladies

(Da T.R.U.T.H.): Just think about this/ you're real fit in Abercrombie and Fitch/ and when you in the mall you

thinkin' about how to catch fish/ imagine you in Von Dutch

on a date/ no lust in the place/ dude got a crush cause how

you hustle your faith/ you ain't tryin' be tuck at the waist/

cause you spend more time in the presence of God than

adjustin' your face/ listen let me cut to chase/ and

encourage the beauty of holiness you should just want to

be chased/ (FLAME): Ladies we know it's real and it gets

hard sometimes/ especially with the pressure of being

flawless now/ you can't do enough crunches to be the

perfect woman/ God ain't lookin' for perfect size but a worshippin' woman/ ok you gain weight maybe had an abortion/ made a mistake had a divorce and/ it still ain't over Jesus forgives this is the gospel/ so don't let that stuff stop you
