Lyrics

Do you remember the time, when the purpose and the rhyme, was to see the souls affected
But now it's to man, every purpose and every plan, to whom the praise is directed
We live out dream, make the crowd scream, but turn to yell at the sound man
Since where and when did we stop checking the word and begin to start checking the sound scan
Remember when shows were for souls and rhymes were for flows
Now we spend one minute to pray, if even that for each day, but spend two hours checkin our clothes
What happened to the passion we was having that was sparked in the beginning?
But we're quick to cry, point the speck in your eye, but even quicker to justify our sinning
We're quick to diss and raise the fist to justify the things that we do
But for every finger we point at them, just remember, friend, there's four more pointin' back at you
How and when did it all begin as ministry turned to industry
'Cause, did Jesus need a manager, record label, ditributor, or even a boooking agency?
When troubles came, did he call upon the name, or turn to a lawyer to handle it
Why do we ask God last, ignore the past, but be the first to ask our management?
'Cause next to Him, our glory's dim and truely pales in comparison
Why does every move we choose seem to revolve around
We can get our groove on, but yet worry about comin' on too strong
Yet, we water it down so much there ain't even nothing left to chew on
Souls become sales, and sales become a salary
Give the crowd something to feel, whine about keepin' it real
But don't try to keep it to reality
Yet, when it's all over and the mic is hung, and it's all said and done
It won't matter how many battles I won, but only the souls that I have won
On the other side, will my silly pride cause me to hold my head up proud?
If I won't have beef with you then, tell me friend, why should I have a beef with you now?
At the end of my life, when I held that mic, did I really truly deserve it?
Forget if I was phat, forget if I was whack
I want to hear "Well done, My good and faithful servant"
