Jesus was a rebel, a renegade, outlaw/
A sanctified troublemaker but He never sinned, naw/
and He lived His life by a different set of Rules/
the culture ain't approve/
so you know they had to bruise em/
that's the way they do/
man, they swear they so gangsta but everyones the same/
everybody do the same stuff/
tattoo, piercing/ smokin' up and drinking/
money and sex plus them extravagant weekends/
if that's the high life/ I'll puff puff pass that/
you leave evaporated like you missing a gas cap/
I guess I'm passed that/ cause I am in rebellion/
I'd rather have a dollar in my pocket than a mill-ion/
I'm scared to worship money, and my wants over Elyon/
I'll remain a rebel while the rest of them just carry on
/this is what I live fo/ this the hill I'm buried on/
if Jesus is the truth/ that means one of us is VERY wrong/
think about it
I know that in our day rebel means sinner,
but everyone is sinning so it is no longer rebellious to sin.
Jesus was a rebel who was counter cultural
Verse 2:
No glory in me/ all glory to the King on the throne (Jesus)/
you either love Him or leave Him alone but you cant do both/
yeah, you probably heard that once in song/
I pray you hear 10 mo fo ya gone/ yeah listen up, holmes/
The stage is my corner and my crowd is the streets/
That's why I rap the bread of life cause they dyin' to eat/
I'm a rebel you know the kind that die in the street/
Cause you refuse to conform, won't eat the kings meat
/ look, if Christ rebelled by shunning the cultured
/ He eatin' with sinners/ givin Pharasies ulcers
/ He never got married, was broke and plus homeless/
yeah that's the God I roll wit/ ya boy gotta wife and no I neva cheated/
I'm prayin for humility whenever I get heated
/ forget about the drugs/ rebel against pornography/
this ain't how it oughta be, homie/ this is how it's gotta be/ A rebel
You are just a conformist, if you are drunk and naked, driving around on a lot of motorcycles,smoking cigarettes and breaking commandments, and getting pregnant out of wed-lock. Everyone has do that it is so tired. If you really want to be a rebel read your bible, because no one is doing that.... that's rebellion that's the only rebellion left.
