Lyrics
(Intro)
I'm tired of seeing my people fighting
Tired of seeing so much division
So much murmuring, so much backbiting
We gotta come together, gotta hold each other accountable
Can't be easily offended — we all we got
'Cause when Christ crack that sky, man
(Verse 1)
It's more than being Israelites
Than tryna see who is right
Debating, causing strife ain't
Gon' bring us into eternal life
I'm fighting for the Kingdom
A soldier just tryna earn my stripes
I'm with the Church of Christ
Garments white like I'm with an Edomite
The war against Satan
Never ending until our Savior
Save us from the enemies
Seeking to come and slay us
I gotta stay humble
Because a lot of men are greater
I see things and pray
I'm found worthy with my Creator
Put down the wine
Put down the drink
Mane... so many things changed
But some will remain
I listened to the Spirit, she told me
I gotta change, get rid of anything
That ain't helping you be the man
That I need to use — be of use
With so many people hurt
Dealing with substance abuse
Drinking more than they pray
In the flesh, get in the way
Now the Spirit crying out
But deception is in they face
Romans 12:3 KJV — For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith
(Verse 2)
Ahayah brought me to this Church
So how could I repay?
I can't — so I'm enduring
I can't go the other way
I know He saved me from my past
And keep providing in the present
Many looking at the curse
But too afraid to see the blessings
I can't fix my mouth to diss my brother
Use it as a weapon
So I'm aiming shots at Satan
Dodging fire like it's Tekken
I can't see the flesh
I'm Cena — how my Spirit steady wrestling
Bring your fruit and give your best
Don't be like Cain and start rebelling
On the Sabbath Day we resting
Holy Days we feasting
Ain't no trick—or—treating
We gon' praise Him in His seasons
Bring my first fruits
Since Passover, I've been feeding
My Spirit steady reading, steady fasting
I've been seeking, pleading to the Abba
Screaming, "Help me, Father!"
Show me how to lead and help me grow
And show my daughter
How to pray to You
So when she older
She pursue
How to be a righteous woman
Seeking solely after You, Father
Matthew 19:14–15 KJV — But Yashaya said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. And he laid his hands on them, and departed
(Verse 3)
How many of us was called to be sober
Put down the weed and picked up bottles
Seeking for closure
Not understanding the trauma and pain
Can't control us
As long as we can recognize
The power that mold us
How many of us was young
And didn't feed the Spirit
Was running towards death
In a hurry and couldn't hear it?
How many of us didn't have fathers
And out of fear was sensitive to peers
Drunkard without the beer
How many of us was lost
In a world unforgiving
Was called into the Body of Christ
To complete a mission
How many got offended?
How many people done quit it?
How many people forgiven?
How many people will listen?
Or will they start to remove
Themselves and pick up sinning?
Can't forgive, so Satan came in
And sowed division
How many people go to the person
Who did them wrong?
Even if they don't listen, long—suffering gon' get put on, for real
Matthew 6:14–15 KJV — For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses
