Hypocrite (Gold Chapter) (Bonus Track)

Yeah, uh

Killa Kwai on the beat

Let me tell you how this all came to be

I was sitting, digging in the Word, Matthew 23

I'm thinking this is it, finally, victory

Then the Holy Spirit hit quick, convicted me

Could it be this just all hypocrisy?

I'm a modern day Pharisee, quite possibly

Tell me, what's the use if I know the law

But the true and living God, I never knew at all

I gotta practice what I preach, yeah

It don't matter what I'm saying on these beats, yeah

In the church or when I'm on the streets

Tell me, what's the use if I don't practice what I preach?

If that's the case, I should expect the worst

No surprise why the world would reject the church

I mean, why would you respect my turf

If I don't comply myself and respect it first?

Brothers and sisters in Christ, this is a wake up call

To myself included, I can relate to y'all

Right now's the time I gotta start living it

The last thing I wanna be is a hypocrite

I gotta practice what I preach, yeah

It don't matter what I'm saying on these beats, yeah

In the church or when I'm on the streets

Tell me, what's the use if I don't practice what I preach?

Make no mistake, it's a must that I be honest, y'all

What's in the dark shall come to light, that's a promise, y'all

I know what some will say, ain't no surprise to me

"I ain't a Christian, so none of this applies to me"

Indeed, that's why often from the start

I sincerely pray that the Lord will soften up your heart

Until then, be aware of any false prophets

Vicious wolves disguised as sheep that look harmless

Don't be fooled before you follow suit

I mean, really take a look and recognize them by their fruit

The good news is, even as I'm writing this

I realize only faith brings forth righteousness

Yet I can't neglect how I live and behave

'Cause faith without works will only end up in the grave

Right now's the time we gotta start living it
