Verse 1
Now it's time to stand up and be counted/
I paid the price. Will you? Don't doubt Him/
Shout sin for what it is and change your thinking/
The New Covenant written in blood not ink pen/
Don't sink in/ your old stinking/ ways/
You still stuck right no time end of days/
End of saying I can't do it/ no excuses/
It's not his fault ma that he's abusive/
Just do it/ leave/ and cleave/ to the Master/
If you don't worse is coming such disasters/
Hazardous to your health those cancer sticks/
When I was in prison they called them rips/
Rest In Peace/ speaking death in speech/
Mom dies you quick to be in church next week/
Too late/ two days/ ago/ you could have prayed for/
And made more/ of a difference to save souls/ listen

Verse 2
This is just the beginning/ first inning/
New birth/ no curse/ old birth sinning/
Now winning/ by a long run/ sins all gone/
Yours too by faith/ die to hate/ all wrong/
All stones/ thrown at me will shatter/
I'm Superman of gold, silver, still rapper/
Hardcore/ art of warfare/ spiritually shoot me/
Since I'm not deceived that means persecute me/
Is one or the other/ I'm telling you brothers/
And sisters in the rap game change covers/
This globe the knowledge of God takes over/
Like waves of the sea walk on water Jehovah/
A make over/ is what we all need/ tall trees/
Of righteousness bearing fruit from all leaves/
Fall free/ or free fall not far from the Source/
Now I got a whole forest for God to sport/

Verse 2
Some raise up truth others raise up love/
But they are one and the same thing because/
The truth or doctrine/ is about Him Who is love/
And He wants you to share it with thugs/
Love loves truth and truth loves love/
They work hand and hand but most bug/
On Christ's teachings/ look close what Bible are you reading/
The truth is about love it's the Kingdoms/
Royal law that runs God's whole government/
How to relate to each other under the New Covenant/
God's judges His creation on how much we loved/
Each other like Christ by Christ right tough/
Cookies/ Bible bookies/ you rookies/
I used to be you back in the days look see/
That's the truth/ but ya'll don't want to rap with dude/
That's cool/ I ain't mad at you/
