Da’ T.R.U.T.H. - Our World lyrics
[Da’ T.R.U.T.H. - Our World lyrics]
Welcome to our world
No killers, drug dealers
Guerillas, no villains
Christ told us that most of
Them won't feel us
Welcome to our world no hustlers, customers
Everybody in the building
Get your hands up with the rest of us
If The Game could give props to Biggie
Pac and Dre and the whole rap world could
Give love to "J"
And they could pay homage to Jam Master Jay
And commemorate the heroes that passed away
Then I could proceed with what I have to say
And pay respect to all the godly
Men that passed The Faith
Yeah, they went ahead of us- now
The path is straight
And died so that we could
Have life passed the grave
From prophets to the priests- we trace
It back to the greats
Take it back to the days
When faith had a face
And not just a mouth when
The saints grabbed the grace
And I ain't talkin' about the prayer
Before you pass the plate
I'm talkin' 'bout what taught them
To stay fast and trade
The pleasures of this life for Ahaz's hate
Now, I know they "wasn't" perfect
But play back the tapes
And history will show how the
Saints' path was shaped welcome to our world
No killers, drug dealers
Guerillas, no villains
Christ told us that most of
Them won't feel us
People got questions like-
How come ya'll don't talk
About Martin and Malcolm
But y'all always talkin' bout
Calvin and Luther
Cause these are the dudes that
Introduced us to truth
And the fruit that's produced in
Us is the outcome
So from now until the day that we die
We'll occupy with the things of
God while our mouths run
That's unique to the saints- you know how
Roots run deep in the faith
Let me explain what I mean
You know I mean what I say
We're following after the pioneers
Leading the way
Apostles like Paul and others that
Were labeled the way
It was either all or nothing- there
Could be no more gray
These were the writers of the
Bible we believe in today
I know they're gone but not forgotten-
When we read them their sway
Is so strong we say so long
To the evil- I pray
That His people would read
Those leaders and say
Welcome to our world
No killers, drug dealers
Guerillas, no villains
Christ told us that most of
Them won't feel us
Y'all know we're the legs and
Feet of the legacy
Predestined to be- before the pregnancy
We're all just a piece of the puzzle-
If I could speak for myself
I'm walking in the footprints that
Were left for me
Now, I know I just quoted one of their poets
But take note- I just stole it
To help show them the recipe
How the past and the
Present- once plastered together
Led up to the path of our destiny
Since the baton has been passed
We want to write 'em a pass
And invite them to our world
Where the mind has been transformed
By the power of Christ
We draw lines in the sand
That would explain the unpopular stance
Like pro-life that wouldn't
Heighten the chance
Of being liked- we care- I
Wouldn't lie to my fams
So, while the wicked sing songs that
Got them in a trance
We sing songs and hymns like
The bottom of your pants
Cause we're different- we bless
Those that hate us while in the West Coast
They say let's load the bangers
Over dress codes, no dress clothes
We're strangers
Saints in the foreign land where the
Best road to fame is
Playing low praying and saying no
To our fleshly impulses post weighing
The pros and cons
We don't close our eyes- we stay sober
So you know we're opposed to wine
Or at least getting drunk
We propose to our wives
And say I do before we close the blinds
No boasting and pride, no boasting in "I"
Pray that you and I would be a poster child
In the Kingdom of God where Christ is Lord
We submit unto the authority
His righteous sword
Life in Christ otherwise life is a bore
So we abhor evil that which is
A sight for sore eyes
We believe that there's one God
Not three dudes and He sees to it that all
Roads don't lead to Him
I'm tryna breeze through it
It's black and white like the Three Stooges
It's one way to God and He's Jewish
We embrace Him homes
Salvation by grace through faith - they
Ain't even break a bone
It's sinfulness that makes us groan
So we anticipate the day that He
Comes back to take us home
That's in our world
No killers, drug dealers
Guerillas, no villains
Christ told us that most of
Them won't feel us
Welcome to our world no hustlers, customers
Everybody in the building
Get your hands up with the rest of us
If The Game could give props to Biggie
