Da’ T.R.U.T.H., Tye Tribbett - Who Am I? lyrics

Yeaaaa-a ahhhhhhh! Tye Tribbet! Unh! Truth!
Just Clap your hands! A Hole in one 1-2-3!

If the bible was re-written and the
Writers put me in it
I wonder how my life would read?
Would the people that have heard
Of me read just to
Learn of me be turned away by what they see?
Or would they slump in their
Sofas blown away and
Sober by my life didn't come to believe
Or would they do a once over read the
Pages of my life, and once it's over
Close the book and say that's not
How I want to be! Be!

And that's a sad commentary when I'm
Buried under the public to see
But, I pray they remember me for
Walking in integrity being what God
Called me to be and if I leave an impression
Man I hope that I
Impress them with a life that
Was clean and free

And I pray that it's
Not embarrasing when they
Read my narrative once I finally do leave

Let's Go!

Hoorah! Am I more like Cain full of
Hatred to my brother to slain? Hoorah!
Or am I more like Jezebel
Sexual in all my ways? (Think about it)
Hoorah! Or am I more like Mary pure and
Holy 'till I lay in the grave? Hoorah!
Or am I more like Abel, able to please
God with my ways? (Think about it)

If the book was re-written and
The writers put me in
It what would they say about my private life?

Would they say that my commitment
To the ministry was strong
But that I never spend time with my wife?
What would they say about my character?
Would they say that I was arrogant
An American full of myself?

How would they write about my parenting?
Would they say while traveling
I put my children up on the shelf?
Would it be positive or negative
If everything I ever
Did was charted down and read by all?
Not only the stuff you could
See on the surface
But the stuff that was done in the dark?

Well if the boys could talk
When the doors was locked
Would they say that I was off the chain or
Would it be the complete opposite
Would they say that
My public and private life were all the same?

Hoorah! Am I more like Cain full of
Hatred to my brother to slain? Hoorah!
Or am I more like Jezebel
Sexual in all my ways? (Think about it)
Hoorah! Or am I more like Mary pure and
Holy 'till I lay in the grave? Hoorah!
Or am I more like Abel, able to please
God with my ways? (Think about it)

If the book was re-written and
The writers put me in
Who would they say that I resemble the most?

Would it be Joseph or Sampson
Both of 'em handsome
Only one of 'em was a symbol of hope

Or would I be listed
Among the greats mentioned
Among the saints in the hall of fame?
Would I'd have to be stripped of this running
The base a product of my own mistakes?
Now I know it's not possible
But, if the book was
Re-written man I wonder how
My life would read

From 2 years old till my
Funeral would I fail or
Would I succeed? Cuz when
They write my biography
What would they recall about the
Life and times about
The man it means a lot to me!
Cuz in the story I leave
'em I am either God's
Leader or a picture of what not to be

Hoorah! Am I more like Cain full of
Hatred to my brother to slain? Hoorah!
Or am I more like Jezebel
Sexual in all my ways? (Think about it)
Hoorah! Or am I more like Mary pure and
Holy 'till I lay in the grave? Hoorah!
Or am I more like Abel, able to please
God with my ways? (Think about it)
