The times they are intensifying It's heating up, too much we need to quench the fire Repentance idle, people sliding cause we miss the Bible Can't escape trials, I just hope you fare better than I do Bare in mind you can't do nothing to earn your own place At God's table, only way through is Grace Don't got a cape, not a hero, really I'm just a waste Got hypocritical mental modes and they bother me greatly Lord I'm waiting, I'm waiting for Your Holiness Yeah, self reflection leaves me dull with sense Sanctification through Your Spirit's what I'm hoping in Closer I get the more further I get from closest friends Soul's dispensed throughout all of these lyrics, emotions bend Hey I ride the waves everyday I'm going through the trends like teenagers go through with phases Sole defense against my sin lies in the Holiest King You know His Name by now, but claim you don't that's a shame You heard His message before, unless you heard it in vain You saw His preachers on the street but you rolled over their lanes While smiling at the false teachers who are doped up with praise What's off of faith isn't straight, what's on the page isn't fake God chose what's foolish to confound the wise, incredible ain't it? The world is serving up these plates seemingly edible baby But what is fatal is the fact that they are heavily tainted Stay away I'll tell you what I do this for Everything I do in rap, I do it for the Lord Wish I could say the same about me when I'm off the mic Others think that I am great, but they don't know my life Yeah I'm not saying that I'm only talk though I repent because this sin leaves me in sulk mode Dark roads don't lead me where I wanna go If you see me walking down one help me walk home Lost in direction, I need constant confession We have a tendency to think that we are often exceptions to the rules Honor the truth and realize God gives the Proof Through His Word, His Son has come and that's Who's always in tune So please don't gobble the food The world tries to force down I cant endorse loud doctrine The sore sounds Of all the whored out preachers giving poor mounds Of prosperity poop to the bored crowds Death to the thorn ground My heart 40 rounds into what's immoral-bound Bringing my assurance down Can't say the Lord's proud Of my short bouts Ya'll don't see the facts dawg I be torn down I got to be honest You shouldn't follow me I don't got the say Not qualified to be a minister, don't copy and paste What I state, check out the Bible, believe what's on the page What's off of faith isn't straight, can't be ignoring His Grace God chose His people to be separate from the world and its tastes They're offering up all of these plates seemingly edible baby But what is fatal is the fact that they're incredibly dangerous Stay away It's hard for me to smile after Sinful disasters, sick of difficult patterns Of self loathing and repentance, am I genuine with this Or am I really just indifferent to my God and His Kindred Not negative when I'm in Him, but that gets rarer by minutes You try to catch a glimpse of me when I'm in secret it's sickening I got a lot of bad thoughts, lost and indignant I ask and pray that God will lift me and just stop my iniquity Things to put off Obscene kinda talk Don't mean to be awful I need me the Cross He is so Awesome He is the Mark, keep both my opticals Off of what's dark So easy to talk Hills steep with the walk Take pieces of my heart Feed it to sharks It needs to be lost God please soften What I have hardened Deep in my thoughts I seem to be wrought Sin in the background I cannot backdown Need to be smart Not leading the charge man I'm reaping the consequences Disobedience haunts When you're far from your God And the times getting hard It's like you're in a trench, no rifle in arms All the gore and the scars And the limbs that are gone I need Jesus Christ to restore all the parts Yeah, hey Yeah I know His Name, pray for me though Because my soul's in pain Rah, dang We live in Noah's age Times are getting harder, call upon the Lord today Yeah, hey Yeah I know His Name, pray for me though Because my soul's in pain Rah, dang We live in Noah's age Times are getting harder, call upon the Lord today Yeah Times are getting harder, call upon the Lord today
