break it Down

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Let me tell bout my home boy Cory this is the first verse of the very first story

call it the first letter/

you can call it whatever

long as you hear the truth and leave surer than ever

Cory's a new believer actin like he's in gang

he run around sayin his Church is the greatest thang(1:10:-4:21)

He won't check a sermon unless its his Bishops name

It seems he forgot to keep Jesus the main thang(1:10-12)

Cause Bishop aint raise up after three days up

he aint take ya case up

offering you his grace huh(1:13)

But Cory stay divided all the time

not Christ but a man that he standin behind(3:4)

Hook:

I got this little letter I"m tryna break down/ (break it down)

So you can hear the Truth in the Sound (In the Sound)

Division (1:10-4:21), A whole lotta Sin (5:1-6:20), I can't forget the problems of people living within (7:1-15:58)

I got this little letter Im tryna break down (break it down)

But let me tell you Cory background

he started off crazy parties

full shawties religious ceremonies where people was gettin naughty( Study the History of Corinth at this time)

but all that changed

the truth of God reigned

The Gospel spread within Him

like viruses in the veins (Even in such a sinful environment, people came to Christ in Corinth 1Cor 1:4)

but mayne even tho his hearts rearranged

he found himself caught up in some of his old ways

he layin up with women his sinning was gettin strange(6:12-20)

he thought the more he sinned the more Jesus pleased to save

He thought cause he accepted His brother touchin his mother that he was spiritual cause he let em get with each other(5:1-13) /Cory had beef with another within the faith instead workin thru it they opened a court case (6:1-11)

a slap to the face of the God who gives grace

Cory''s outta place tryna carry his own weight

Hook

Now Cori got married but every where he turns he sees lust burn and women waitin to serve him/

yeah an coris learnin'

satan wishes to turn him away from His wife to satisfy all his yearnings(7:1-40)/ Divorce aint legitamate

if both are regenerate

what God put together let nobody put a split in it (7:10-16)/ but see that aint the end of it

He sought his own benefit

He would do things that his friends saw as forbiden

and tho it wad no sin in it

His homies they was ignorant and they were made weak cause His liberty was their hinderance (8:1-11)

Unlike an apostle no concern for the Gospel

no denying his rights nah homie wasn't that thoughtful...thoughtful...(9:1-23)

Hook

maybe I should take a second to explain main that Cori aint a person but a group of people(The Corinthians). many just like Christians today. Caught up in their own worldly culture no respect for divine authority, the Lords Supper, and still exhalting Gifts which are all given by the Holy Spirit to begin with more than love for on another. (11:2-14:40) Everything we have was given by God who commands us live outwardly toward others. I pray none of us wrestle with the Ressurection of Jesus(15:1-58) holla at me if you do. Above all things love GOD and LOVE ONE ANOTHER!
