FLAME - Positively Eternal lyrics
[FLAME - Positively Eternal lyrics]
God tells us that we need
To be concered about justice
That's the reason the Apostle
Paul is pleading his
Case all the way up to Seizure
Took a ride down Forrest Hill
Made a turn on How to pimp a butterfly
A lot of positivity coming
Through these rhymes
A lot of frustration with today's times
I can appreciate social commentary
A message conveying more than the monetary
It's good to put money on homies commissary
But it's something deeper that
Got his momma worried
Beautiful statements made about raising kids
Keep them from making the
Same mistakes we did
Teach them about taxes and
How to manage money
Teach them about equity and investing money
How to deal with depression youngins
Be going through it
And the post traumatic stress from
Life in the hood
Searching for solution from everywhere
Under the sun looking for a brighter day
But rejecting the son
And I know that the pain you feel is real
Yeah I feel it too
And we are sick and tired of this
We want justice i know
We wonder will it ever end i promise it will
But just know
You ain't gotta have it for time
You can have it for eternity
Lord knows we need good
People changing policies
People in high positions seeking equality
Shifting legislation, meeting common needs
The kind of wisdom that
Strengthen a weak economy
And I can appreciate social activist
And some of the rappers giving analysis
And use their celebrity as a catalyst
As long if they recognize it's inadequate
To fix the problem bottom of all problems
To my philanthropic partners this
Might make you solemn
It's our sin nature affecting the macrocosm
We were born with it
Shaped in it we all got it
In the Garden we got it
And didn't trust first
We disregarded our father so
It's just a curse
So it's not that we don't
Value much of the Earth
We just want you to evaluate what's worse
And I know that the pain you feel is real
Yeah I feel it too
And we are sick and tired of this
We want justice i know
We wonder will it ever end i promise it will
But just know
You ain't gotta have it for time
You can have it for eternity
Seems like the goal is Utopia
So we striving for social
Justice and human rights
Just as sure as human trafficking
Should break our hearts
And cultivate in us motivation
To go and fight
There are spiritual realities
We must consider
Just as real with consequences
We must consider
That education can't fix either
We must consider the person of
Jesus spoken about in scripture
He told us about deep
Corruption in our hearts
And if we're honest see defiance
In our own thoughts
See the evidence fail efforts of Karl Marx
Since the enlightenment been fighting
To pull it off
To make this world a better place without God
But true hope and freedom
Only Jesus can provide
When your motivation is based on
The one who died good works can count for
Eternity and present time
And I know that the pain you feel is real
Yeah I feel it too
And we are sick and tired of this
We want justice i know
We wonder will it ever end i promise it will
But just know
You ain't gotta have it for time
You can have it for eternity
God tells us to care about
The flourishing of the
People around us to care about our nation
To be concered about justice
That's the reason the Apostle
Paul is pleading his
Case all the way up to Seizure
Took a ride down Forrest Hill
Made a turn on How to pimp a butterfly
A lot of positivity coming
Through these rhymes
A lot of frustration with today's times
