FLAME - Absolute Truth lyrics
[FLAME - Absolute Truth lyrics]
If what we sayin' is true
Then it changes everything
A Catholic man holds his rosary
Islam holds the Qur'an
While dudes on the streets tryna
Hold on to time
While Buddhists look for peace
Hindus and Sikhs
The truth is absolute that's why
I hold on to mine
A Catholic man holds his rosary
Islam holds the Qur'an
While dudes on the streets tryna
Hold on to time
While Buddhists look for peace
Hindus and Sikhs
The truth is absolute that's why
I hold on to mine
God's plan is to make from
All nations one bride
Listen, can we talk religion
And world views for a minute?
(We just talkin')
They say the White man Jesus (Hoodwinked)
Got the Black man deceived (Bamboozled)
I can hear 'em now in the prisons
(Run amuck) all the Five Percenters sayin'
What we believe (Y'all know)
Black Jews, Hebrew, Israelites, and the Moors
(Our nationalities)
All got solutions for these animals
(That's what they tellin' me)
To free us from our lower selves
(The Yin and Yang)
They say we need to know ourselves
(Your heritage)
They didn't teach us how to in-terstand
(Not in school)
How to outta-stand and how to over-stand
(We use their books)
They only taught us how to understand
(That's all they taught us)
Ever since they took us from the Motherland
A Catholic man holds his rosary
Islam holds the Qur'an
While dudes on the streets tryna
Hold on to time
While Buddhists look for peace
Hindus and Sikhs
The truth is absolute that's why
I hold on to mine
A Catholic man holds his rosary
Islam holds the Qur'an
While dudes on the streets tryna
Hold on to time
While Buddhists look for peace
Hindus and Sikhs
The truth is absolute that's why
I hold on to mine
God's plan is to make from
All nations one bride
I get it – Jesus didn't have blue eyes
Blonde hair, but sheep wool skin, bronze
(Like mine)
You say, "That's what the text say"
I say, "Oh, we usin' the Bible?"
(Oh, okay)
Well, let me show you what the text say
Checkmate – context is so vital
You're making reference to Revelation
In Chapter 1
Verses 14 and following the Apostle John
Gave a description of his vision of Jesus
The Son
Them characteristics represented judgment
To come and other things
But it wasn't describing his race (At all)
In that case
He literally has fire in His face
So, we cannot isolate verses
And make 'em say what we want
Warnings of that are on the last page
In that same book
A Catholic man holds his rosary
Islam holds the Qur'an
While dudes on the streets tryna
Hold on to time
While Buddhists look for peace
Hindus and Sikhs
The truth is absolute that's why
I hold on to mine
A Catholic man holds his rosary
Islam holds the Qur'an
While dudes on the streets tryna
Hold on to time
While Buddhists look for peace
Hindus and Sikhs
The truth is absolute that's why
I hold on to mine
God's plan is to make from
All nations one bride
Jesus is the culmination (The fulfillment)
Of all the Old Testament pages
(All the imagery)
The last Adam and the Son of David
(The reigning King)
The suffering servant and the
Light to the nations (The final Priest)
Who perfectly overcame all of His temptations
(The Faithful remnant)
The first born from the dead and
Fruit of the New Creation
(The ultimate prophet)
I hear that you live by the law (You are?)
Just know when you're droppin' the ball
(You gon' sin)
The Yahweh is not lettin' you off
(You're sin natured)
'Cause if you break one
Then you've broken 'em all
(That's His standard)
And all your sacrifices will never suffice
(Never) 'Cause Yahweh only accepts
Perfection in life (That's it)
So, by this standard
Jesus is the true Israel
And the people of Yahweh are united to Christ
(Grace)

All nations one bride
You need to have
Friendships and relationships
With people who disagree with you
