FLAME, Da’ T.R.U.T.H. - Ladies lyrics

Back then if I was a Jew the life
That I led would not be common
I would be in prayer
Shawls anticipatin' His comin'
Between 1 and 30 AD i'd be under the Romans
Thankin' Yaweh that I'm not
A slave, Gentile, Or woman
Now don't get it twisted a
Woman had to be honored
If you came from out of her womb
You had to obey your momma
For the fact that she was
A woman wasn't the problem
It's because she was forbidden to
Publicly read the Talmud
Plus only allowed to be
Either in the balcony-
Or on the floor divided to avoid problems
And forbade to pray out loud
When it came to religious life
For women it was grey outside
Till Christ came in the picture
Switched up some customs
Now these same women are
Providin' Jesus with substance
Leavin' Jewish men grieved
They ain't agree
Cause out of these women's means
They ministered to their needs

Look at Jesus maneuva in spite of the culture
Taken ladies and shapin' em
Makin' em soldiers
Peep this type of behavior was taboo
Jesus seen with Joanna
(Luke 8: 13) would make Him a bad Jew
But Jesus called some of the grimiest women
Like prostitutes even some of
The slimiest women in hot pursuit
Women are weak is not the truth
And just to prove this point
Ladies I got the proof
Wouldn't be a Timothy
Without Timothy's moms
Eunice speakin' to Tim in
Them spiritual psalms
The way women were treated then
These are similar times
But yet the men of God recognize ya strength
Who were the first witnesses
Of the empty tomb who birth Jesus being a
Virgin Holy Spirit consumed
Who stood for God way back
In them Exodus times
And wouldn't even let em kill they son
(Exodus 1: 16)

Jesus did walk with women in a special way
This was odd for men in the first century
Look at God callin' women to the ministry
Jesus did walk with the ladies

Da TRUTH: Just think about this
You're real fit in Abercrombie and Fitch
And when you in the mall you
Thinkin' about how to catch fish
Imagine you in Von Dutch on a date
No lust in the place
Dude got a crush cause how
You hustle your faith
You ain't tryin' be tuck at the waist
Cause you spend more time in the presence
Of God than adjustin' your face
Listen let me cut to chase
And encourage the beauty of holiness you
Should just want to be chased

Flame: Ladies we know it's real
And it gets hard sometimes
Especially with the pressure of
Being flawless now
You can't do enough crunches to
Be the perfect woman
God ain't lookin' for perfect size
But a worshippin' woman
Ok you gain weight maybe had an abortion
Made a mistake had a divorce and
It still ain't over Jesus forgives
This is the gospel
So don't let that stuff stop you
