Christ Crucified

Hook:

In this land of do or die

Where innocent bystanders lose their lives

You do what you gotta do just to survive

What's the answer? Christ crucified

Where brutal guys abuse their wives

Cats who seem to have it all commit suicide

Check your heart- what you trusting in? You decide

What's the answer? Christ crucified

Verse 1:

To speak the truth is my main aim

And I don't mind saying the same things

We live in strange days and cats are trying to maintain

While sin holds the world prisoner like a chain gang

If you don't believe me, how do you explain pain?

Soon it's gonna rain flames; you can't play the blame game

You're on the highway to hell, you'd better change lanes

'Cause you'll only gain strain and your fame won't remain

It's plain, salvation through any other name is lame

I can't trip off somebody saying "He's offending me"

I see the enemy- plus the world needs the remedy

And I don't wanna dis you just tryin' to confront the issue

'Cause everyday, shells from guns rip through stomach tissue

Street soldiers toke spliffs and hold pistols

They got smoked- or take short cuts like cliff notes

Politicians might slit throats to get votes

While rich folks with jokes sniff coke on big boats

I spit quotes that make you sense your need for the Lord

And I don't seek your applause cause He's my reward

Spiritual hijacker- don't have to pack a nine; in line

With the Divine Mastermind- crash ya like a linebacker

Plus, there's a time factor- tomorrow's not promised

You borrow God's homage? You're just a blind actor

Life is fierce and dark- heed the pull of the truth

Christ can pierce your heart- even through your bulletproof.

Verse 2:

Phat sacks dull brains in the Alley of Fears

Backpacks full of pain in the Valley of Tears

You rallied for years, trying to climb the Mountain of Blood and Sweat

Just to get drowned in the Flood of Regrets

Hey yo, I've been through it- everyday under the influence

Or should I say "SINfluence"

It started in the garden when we departed from our Sovereign

Now we're darkened in our hearts and we're starving for a pardon

The enemy is within- no one's protected

Not one area of society is unaffected

Which way is up, when authorities are corrupt?

Mandatory minimums lock minorities up

But it's not about conspiracy theories- you're spiritually weary

Your future appears to be eerie- you hearing me clearly?

Straight from the frying pan into eternal fire-

The fate of every dying man who spurns Messiah!

Verse 3:

When I say "Trust in Jesus", cats look at me like I'm crazy, yet

This song is your "wake-up show" like Sway and Tech

'Cause sin's problem is much greater than human hurts

You owe a debt to the Creator of the universe

And trust me son, He'll do much more than dial your number

The Lord is gonna track you down like a bounty hunter

On judgment day, coppin' pleas ain't gonna work

'Cause God is like a shower drain, He sees all your dirt

The evil you do with your devious crew

You're rotten to the core, He's knocking at your door

Your weed and your brew, the freaks that you screw

You're shopping at the store; you should be dropping to the floor

If you make it your business to pray for forgiveness

The Savior of misfits will take you from His hit list

But say you dismiss this- it shows you're misled

'Cause like "The 6th Sense" you don't even know that you're dead.
