Lyrics

Bass, all up in your face shawty
By the way, give me space, haters back up off me
I am saved, never said that I was Mr. Softie
I am on, you could never off me
Often, picture scripture man
Paint a portrait for the lost, here go the picture frame
I know my calling from the boss so I ain't switching lanes
Got a healthy habit of telling the truth
So when I'm in the booth I guess I'm snitching, damn
I ain't ashamed, I'ma tell the whole story
I used to do this for the paper, cop more glory
Up in the barbershop bragging how the flow sick
How every punchline remind you like a post-it
I'm done with all that boasting, now I rep for Christ's sake
Me and God's word stick together like a rice cake
Do it for the Lord, that's what I say when I lay
Verses on the track, it's a byproduct of my faith
I'm in that killer zone, some'll say the thrill is gone
Cause I ain't in that telly telly trying to get it on
Nah, I'm at the church house, then I'm on them street corners
Telling people hell is hotter than your feet warmers
Awake to righteousness and stop trying to sleep on us
Don't think it's strange for them to try to put they heat on us
They wanna murder us, look how they murdered Christ
Necessary persecution, homie holla this is life
Shut it down, shut it down
If you ain't doing this for Christ
What are you rapping for? You can't be doing that for life
It's much more than money shawty, you don't know the price
You don't know the price if you ain't made the sacrifice
Daily dying to the flesh, ain't compromising for no shit
Ain't rhyming for respect or to put them diamonds on my neck
I give you that, no matter what
All up in your face, well turn it up
Yeah, I give my haters front row seats to my life now
Cause if you keep looking closely later you piping down
From seeing manifestation from all I'm writing now
That wasn't too fun of mouth rapping over trite and sounds
What up anonymous? Everybody biting now
Gave Christ the reigns, he gave us a bit now we biting down
Foot on the industry, they remember the titans now
And they ain't even saved but they steady screaming I like them now
Bump all that money talk, ain't straight with that compromising
I used to do it myself, I know when the flesh is rising
Knowing it's us still living whole and barely surviving
Don't be alarmed paramedics, it's just Ida that's dying
I'm off that bandwagon, ain't bashing Pastor Dollar
He's a man, he's just as flawed as that of a John MacArthur
Neither one is the starter, finisher or the author
So I suggest you make sure in your heart no sin is offered
Shut it down, shut it down
If you ain't doing this for Christ
What are you rapping for? You can't be doing that for life
It's much more than money shawty, you don't know the price
You don't know the price if you ain't made the sacrifice
Daily dying to the flesh, ain't compromising for no shit
Ain't rhyming for respect or to put them diamonds on my neck
I give you that, no matter what
All up in your face, well turn it up
Yeah, the takeover's here, no breaks over here
I live a hard knock life but I ain't condoning fear
And all that can't win for losing it don't belong in here
The last shall be first, I started in the rear
Minus the million dollar marketing plan
And I'm still up in your ear
But some say I'm controversial, I just tell it like it is
Cause I ain't blowing smoke or selling my consumers Vicodin
Alrighty then, we have an understanding, I'll continue with
The truth is rare, they scared of it like playing truth or dare
Yeah, they terrified to be outside the masses people wear
So they scheme for illegal shares trying to make a come up
Years later they paranoid, still got the guns up
So addicted to that drama and I'm like chill
Knowing Christ is the foundation I'm just trying to build
I know you thinking to yourself I cannot feel what you feel
Shawty I been there, I done that, so let's keep that real
Shut it down, shut it down
If you ain't doing this for Christ
What are you rapping for? You can't be doing that for life
It's much more than money shawty, you don't know the price
You don't know the price if you ain't made the sacrifice
Daily dying to the flesh, ain't compromising for no shit
Ain't rhyming for respect or to put them diamonds on my neck
I give you that, no matter what
All up in your face, well turn it up
