Oh Wretched Man

[Chorus]

Oh wretched man- the problem ain't that we rock Timbs

That I am- the problem is we've got sin

Who shall deliver me?- even with a new start

From this body of death?- we need to be freed, we need a new heart

Oh wretched man- the problem is not just behavior

That I am- the problem is there's rot in your nature

Who will deliver me- even with a new start

Our Lord- we need to be freed, we need a new heart

[Verse One]

We're in a hip-hop era full of hip-hop errors

Not just the block but the heart's what hip-hop mirrors

Somebody told me that we're not naughty

I objected and directed their attention to the Top 40

We stopped at the top ten; looked how we propped sin

The case was closed when the videos were dropped in

From naked females to dirty sex in emails

It affects from retail down to the street sales- every detail

You can leave the heart unsupervised

Watch the heart ask for sin and ask the cashier to please super-size

Read Romans and peep your corners for bonus

Were gonna be wrong as long as were breathing- we need a Jonah

[Chorus]

[Verse Two]

I serve word cause it's what the suburbs and the hood needs

Wreckin' the thought that heaven's earned by your goods deeds

I'm mad precise when it's the after-life

You bank on good deeds but you can't think this "dis-counts" like half the price

Sin is genetic it's

The reason your appetite for it is husky like that school up in Connecticut

Check the Bible for a honest diagnosis

Or just smell cause you can tell like chronic halitosis

We all sin- you know we each are prone

If only humans were affected then to each his own

But God sees it and it's reached his throne

In him there's no sin

Like there's no such thing as pizza bones

The spiritual truth- we have no spiritual loot

We're bankrupt and we have bad spiritual root

Every day we grow bad spiritual fruit

We need God to hold back that spiritual boot

[Chorus]

[Verse Three]

Whenever God is ready he can break down a sinner

Take down a sinner, like I take a steak down for dinner

The job of God the Spirit is to pull

A person to Christ

It's like it's irresistible

He makes Christ known

Your eyes light up like when the break light's on

There's a change- "I've grown"

I know it happened to me; I met the Surgeon

He changed my heart, there went the blunts and the cursin'

Kept on workin', for certain He keeps purgin'

Now instead bourbon, I'm fervently reading Spurgeon

That blow God handed me

Put me on hand and knee

Brought a kid that's caramel low like Anthony

Now can it be? Got me in His family

Reppin' the kingdom of God, droppin' Him on the industry

This is the truth, I pray you can catch it fam'

Jesus Christ can give life to a wretched man

[Chorus]
