Allen Thomas - Recognize (feat. Tommy Chapa)

Boy, you better be about it
Boy, you better be about it
Boy, you better be about it (be about it)
Boy, you better be about it
Lies are brewing in the rhymes that's fuming
Inspiring lives to ruin, that ain't my kind of music
Traded it all to be apart of some viral movement
Better get down like pipelines running to the sewers
I hear these rappers say they want to make positive change
No salvation in the equation, nothing is gonna change
Only sign is the profit that you pocket from what y'all sayin
Tired of drowning, only one name by which you got to be saved
Devil creeping in your life like a roach up in the cabinets
Blame God for His absence, even though it's been your own actions
Confession, repentance, deliverance, only way to get past this
On the road to Damascus, that's the way that He chose to de-mask us
Forget your background, don't follow the culture
Too many falling for the trap now, swallowed by vultures
All that secondary needs to be pushed to the side
Stop acting scary, as the body we come to unite
Recognize rebels rise where the devil lies
Blessed by Christ from dead to life now we set aside
All that division been trying to tear these walls down, yeah
It's time to live like we've been called out
You've been filled with faith, take up your shield of faith
Go on and kill that hate, now you can build in faith
You gotta live it out, before you give it out
If you talk it then boy you better be about it
I've been set aside and set apart
Called upon with a changed heart
Many called, but had a change of heart
And now they acting Christian they just played a part
I reach and teach, mend and send
He did it before He gon' do it again
Closer than a brother you call me your friend
Many say the same, but they just pretend
Lord wash me whole I'm all in
Pick me up when I'm falling
Take the narrow, no stalling
I'm rich in heaven, straight balling
Haters hate, but they talk a lot
But they don't know what they talking 'bout
In His Name, in the parking lot
No bite these dogs just bark a lot
I ain't got time for a hater, no
I ain't got time for a faker, yo
I'm flexing on my King James right now and I ain't no talking 'bout no Lakers, no
I ain't got time for a hater, no
I ain't got time for a faker, no
I'm flexing on my King James right now and I ain't no talking 'bout no Lakers
Recognize rebels rise where the devil lies
Blessed by Christ from dead to life now we set aside
All that division been trying to tear these walls down, yeah
It's time to live like we've been called out
You've been filled with faith, take up your shield of faith
Go on and kill that hate, now you can build in faith
You gotta live it out, before you give it out
If you talk it then boy you better be about it
