Bro. Walker - Halle-lu-jah
Sister Dixon once told me, "Let the Holy Spirit be your guideFace the truth boldly without compromise
let the scriptures interpret themselves
and let know man deter you from serving God
Here I am, yeah I'm still the man
I'm a cocky, crazy Christian, but you know just where I stand
I dropped a couple bands just to build this brand
Love my wife, and love my children, follow Jesus, is the plan
But I got so many haters in the way, whether family or friends
Dealing with em every day
A couple years ago, they could've caught this fade
Now it's nothing just to kneel with them and pray
Let the spirit have His way - hey
I ain't even frontin like it's easy
Cause Satan wanna test me, and these devils wanna tease me
They keep telling me, boy you must humble
But my conscious keeps on yelling at me rumble, young man rumble
You don't know what it's like to walk in my shoes
Yeah we both got testimonies but we're singing different blues
please don't get it confused, you aint me, I ain't you
I'm a sinner but I'm tryna make it through
Like Hallej-lu-yah
Matthew 10:36 tells us that a person's enemies will be his own household
You can't love your parents, your spouse, or your kids more than you love God
The minute that you show them that God comes first
Wait awhile; enemies
They want me dead, yeah they want me dead
I ain't looking for attention, just repeating what they said
My step-daddy put his pistol to my head
And you wonder why I'm 17 still pissing the bed
So traumatic, my life was so traumatic
And sometimes I get to shaking when I start to look back at it
Thank God for all His mercy and grace
He sees the beauty in my heart
You see the angry on my face
So quick to judge me, your words will never budge me
Just be careful how you nudge me, cause I'm still a little nutty
I really wish somebody would just love me
So I'm putting all my faith in who's above me
I can be difficult and make it tough to hug me
Cause I am I'm not emotional, emotions make me ugly
I cried like a baby for years, I still cry
But my faith is way greater than fears - so Hallej-lu
For years they told me I needed to humble myself without explanation
Then the brother JD told me, humility is not thinking less of yourself
It's thinking of yourself less... just do God's work
You can't be a strong Black man in this land
Show em you understand
They gone' think you want the plan
The spouse wants me docile, pastor wants me docile
Show a little passion and they're quick to call you hostile
They want you to believe what they believe - don't believe it
If you're a man of God then you know His name is Jesus
So, stop with the nonsense, leave it where you found it
Cause I ain't with the BS, and you won't catch me around it
You think I'm insular, then you should just be outie
Put your faith in God; do it all without me
I try to hold it down for my fam
But I'll be damned if they don't constantly complain bout' who I am
I'm too this, I'm too that, I'm too Christian, I'm too Black
Well, if you're a man of God, homie, why you even strapped
I ain't perfect, but I'm worth it, and they hate it when you know it
They go'ne crucify you the minute you show it
Hallej-lu
