Word To My Peoples

(专辑： Because You Asked - 2014)

[Swoope:]
That's word to my peoples
Uh, I'm just trying to bring the Word to my peoples

This song is not for the soft of skin
I'm just a little concerned that our hearing's hard
The problem is that our mouth's too big
So it's hard for us to discern if we're hearing God
See it's odd, we speak to repeated, tweet to be retweeted
Impressed by our words and not the teachings of Jesus
Hard to tell the old in the faith, meet us where meat is
If we don't ever grow in the faith, keep us a fetus
Scriptures we're skimming through, keep a few literate
Rather have that half and half, preach that 2 percent to us
Maybe speak lactaid, maybe rhyme Similac
But if you rap steak, it's "I ain't into that"
It's too deep man the streets won't get it
It's too big and the streets want midgets
Message never change and the method ain't offensive
So it ain't how I rap man, it's really what the gift is
I was giving the Gospel, not as a ritual
But for me to steward that life to men
So if I've hidden the Gospel, only giving a little
Then I'm a bad steward to the mice and men
Now I'm not saying I'm the consignment deliverer of Scripture
But don't put so much emphasis on me that you miss the
Point that I'm getting to, Bible was missing bruh

Uh, uh, that's word to my peoples
I'm just trying to bring the Word to my peoples
Uh, uh, that's word to my peoples
I'm just trying to bring the Word to my peoples
Uh, uh, that's word to my peoples
I'm just trying to bring the Word to my peoples
Uh, uh, that's word to my peoples
Word, w-word, w-word, word

I did a show back in Cleveland, Ohio
That really had me contemplating leaving Ohio
Taking my talents down to South Beach from Ohio
I was embarrassed like I pee-peed on my clothes
The scene was nightmarish, was I dreaming with eyes closed?
I just came to bring a message from the Text
But all they wanted was the same thing from their iPhone
Stevie Jobs' drones, heads down, not praying but
Made me wanna hang it up, beep from a dial tone
But then I thought of the King that's seated by God's throne
And how He was beat, stabbed, and leaked from His side so
I hit the stage and I picked up the microphone
Tested 1-2, wasn't off so I was on
Boldly professed that the King is awesome
I looked to my left, seen some people yawning
I looked to my right, they said "He is boring"
Then back to my left, they moved to sleep from yawning
Am I speaking foreign, in preaching the Gospel?
Or speaking to foreigners that speakee no Bible?
I ain't speaking their language, to me this is dangerous
When the people abstain from truth, to seek entertainment
Like Jesus a side show, to me this is vital
To pledge my allegiance to God, so
I am a rider, I give my all
Call me Mariah, singing them high notes
I'm preaching the Gospel, in season and out yo
God's [?]
If you're watering down the seed it will not grow
And you cannot reap what is not sown
Just like you cannot eat what is not grown
I give you what you need but may not want, the Bible

Uh, uh, that's word to my peoples
I'm just trying to bring the Word to my peoples
Uh, uh, that's word to my peoples
I'm just trying to bring the Word to my peoples
Uh, uh, that's word to my peoples
I'm just trying to bring the Word to my peoples
Uh, uh, that's word to my peoples
Word, w-word, w-word, word

Rappers, constant concerts, where the 808's louder
And it's not a concert, unless you crowd surf
People leaving out the concert, like "Wowzers"
They should be more wowed by what was not heard
Pastors, budgets, buildings, and butts in the pews
But cats leaving out your building like "What's the good news?
I mean I got this good feeling but what's the good news?"
The Bible or tithes yo, so what did you choose?
Don't let your ministry become a hindering to what is meant to be
A platform for the living, active Scriptures G
So open your mouth and let the Scriptures speak
Or better yet, shut your mouth then let the Scriptures speak
It's better said when the Trinity
Uses men who weak as vessels and in the strength have seen
Faithless, faith get, as they hear and then believe
But see they won't believe if we never Scripture preach
And we can't Scripture preach if we never Scripture read
If we don't dig our feet into the riches, Mr. Deeds
Don't miss the thing that makes Mr. Filthy Mr. Clean
Skipping on this wisdom is silly as Mr. Bean
Word, if we don't stand on His fullness, we fail on E
And that's more than just a misdemean-or
That's word to my peoples

So turn the pages love
And see the writing on your heart
It never changes love
Let it guide you like the stars
So turn the pages love
And see the writing on your heart
It never changes love (No no)
Let it guide you like the stars
So turn the pages love
And see the writing on your heart
It never changes love (No no)
So let it guide you like the stars
