You like music from rap to gospel
But ya prolly neva heard nobody rap the gospel
Different sound but the truth's the same
With no choirs no bands but the truth remains
We got fam and the clique set the booth on flames

If ya lost in the flow don't lose the name
It's Jesus Christ the king of the jews my mayn
This ain't entertainment dawg it's timeless truth
Would you rather hear a song about shiny coupes, nope
Non-fat non-gat non-killa rap, 100% christ da blood spilla rap

We don't wanna hear about nines and smoke
We don't wanna hear about movin packs and foolish cats who lie and boast
We do wanna hear about Christ the king

We do wanna hear how God is pleased
And theology of the Bible mayn
