If I could just finish the race
And complete the job the
Lord jesus gave me
I live to tell the world his message
Romans 1:16 “I’m not Ashamed”
I Ain’t Ashamed [Hook:] We Souled Out
Seeking God’s face till we fold out
You want it, we got it
We ain’t tryin’ to hold out
Break me, shake me, mold me
I rather die like Christ than live unholy. [Verse1:] 1 – 1 – 6 a band of misfits
Who get sick at the
State of the world
So we hit strips and spit
Christ Jesus, who scooped us out of the
Dirt
And cleaned us
We were slave to sinful ways but Christ
Freed us
Believe us
Because of the bible that supercedes us
Not to the intellectual thesis
They say we believe in a fools faith
Cause kids can grasp it
And salvation is granted, to those who
Ask it
But even if you don’t know systematic
Theology
Or eschatology
You know Jesus is who you wanna to seek
We ought to be
Sowing seeds and teaching* truth
Diciplin’ groups of young soldiers
And reeping fruit
Aww yeah
This a part of our lifestyle
Might sound good on wax
But we livin’ it right now
I wish you would catch me on tapes and
CD’s
But never see me in the streets in 3-D
B, Please
We ain’t come here to appease
We came to spit these spiritual
Soliloquies
Why killers squese triggers
And hammers clap
I’m a shove on my bullet truth vest
And hammer back like that [Hook:] We Souled Out
Seeking God’s face till we fold out
You want it, we got it
We ain’t tryin’ to hold out
Break me, shake me, mold me
I rather die like Christ than live unholy.
We Souled Out
Seeking God’s face till we fold out
You want it, we got it
We ain’t tryin’ to hold out
Break me, shake me, mold me
I rather die like Christ than live unholy.
The life, Jesus Christ
Until my soul take flight
The worlds the same
Everyone want to cop a chain, cop a
Dame, cop 22′s on the range
Want to cop big fortune and fame
And claiming that they the reason that
The cops get trained
Stop the game
I came here to drop a name
Jesus
The same one that blocked the pain
How many thugs you know hard enough to
Stop the flames
It’s like
Standing on the tracks tyrin to
Block a train
You got the game
Messed up
Stop and change
Mind trapped all wrapped up in locks a
Chains
The same God you pray to before you
Sleep at night
The same God you direspect when you
Creep at night
Seek the light
Ain’t no trin’ to plead for life
Talkin’ bout’ I sorry God
He like
Leave my sight
The key to life
Is none other than Jesus Christ
If you a slave to your ways
Be free tonight [Hook:] We Souled Out
Seeking God’s face till we fold out
You want it, we got it
We ain’t tryin’ to hold out
Break me, shake me, mold me
I rather die like Christ than live unholy.
We Souled Out
Seeking God’s face till we fold out
You want it, we got it
We ain’t tryin’ to hold out
Break me, shake me, mold me
I rather die like Christ than live unholy.
I spit these bars
Not to get no chicks in cars
Not for spinners on the wheels of
Expensive cars
Man I do this for the folk who like to
Lift their arms
Pray to god who gave us life
So he can give us all
Man I do this for the blocks in tha
Hood
The rocks in tha hood
Jesus Chist, Cornestone
Gettin’ props in tha hood
Folks think we crazed and delerious
Cilqued up 40 deep
All saved, all serious Yeah
And if you curious
We got some proof man
We got some answers
We got some truth man
Tellin’ folks you know that God is
Wathchin’ you man
Romans 10:9 is all you got to do man
Seeking God’s face till we fold out
You want it, we got it
We ain’t tryin’ to hold out
Break me, shake me, mold me
I rather die like Christ than live unholy.
We Souled Out
Seeking God’s face till we fold out
You want it, we got it
We ain’t tryin’ to hold out
Break me, shake me, mold me
I rather die like Christ than live unholy.
I know I’m not fit or deserving to do this
But I’m foolish
If I don’t spit to give you Godly influence
Like a student
Practise and prudence will you walk with me through this
As I give my feeble attempt at glorifying Yeshua
Cause He
Is the beginning everything came into being
By His being the being who created all other beings
We’re MCing
Due to His benevolent freeing, decreeing
He’s the almighty creator of everything that we’re seeing
There is none like Him
If you don’t like Him then He’ll use the liking of liking Himself to acquire just to delight Him
That’s why I write Hymns
My right hand use to write sin battle ‘gainst Him like I was (Shai-lin?)
And now despite sin
I give praise the God who made sunny days
To white lightening
It’s quite frightening
To sing “Who’s world is this” without proper enlightenment
He use intelligent design
Like eloquence confined
Life elements assigned by
Elohim my God
He left his fingerprints
You thinking that our origins are coincidence
Our symmetry alone makes evolution look ridiculous
And since our complexity is more than irreducible
The fact our design had a designer is irrefutable
I use science too to make a statement like this
The existence of an atheist proves God exists
He’s the owner
Holding the throne
Potent and strong
He smote any foe approaching Him on boldness alone
But since he up-rose he told us to go on this road
Shown my a knowledge foretold
Spoken by prophets of old
The total opposite role
Chosen by populace goes
Down to the hottest abode
Total apocalypse bro
That’s why we’re rocking it yo
Hand these sounds to the proudest man
God has brought you in this world and he can sure take you out of it
You should already know who’s running it
Brotha you don’t want it
He made it in six but he’ll only take one to crumble it
The earth rumbles at the sound of his mumbling
He flooded it once but with Noah he made a covenant
So the next time he’s gonna be coming with flames
His antagonists don’t know what they’re up against
Return of the last Adam who’s rapping will smash men now holds together every last atom
And that ain’t even the sum of it
Matter of fact you could handle the half I’m only giving you some of it
But its still enough of it for you to come to grips
With the fact that it’s His planet you own none of it
So please consider how dumb it is
To take comfort in the momentary status you have and the stuff you get
He’ll blaze it up in the end you can trust it kid
But we ain’t bugging cause there’s another one coming you dig
The earth was so impressed wit His defeat of the grave
The ground did the Harlem shake the ocean did the wave
No longer enslaved now that I see the Lord
And God is so deep He causes hurricanes when He brainstorms
I switched teams me and Crae got traded on the same night
Same conference same sermon by James White
The light of Christ is a blazing one
I’m evidence that His Grace is amazing son
Man continues to overvalue his worth
Spends most of his time trying to conquer the earth
That kind of action only leaves you empty or hurt
Then you see your true value when you return to the dirt
$5000 casket, $500 clothes
6 months for the grieving 1 year to decompose
I’ve yet to find a human who can outlive the curse
While God sits in the Heaven, place his feet on the earth
