Musix Not the Reezin

Some preachers are teaching against music from the world and they condemn taking rhythms from the street and mixing it with the holy world So if I take a hip-hop beat beat box or dance with my feet And spit scripture on Jacob and Emmanuel How is that from hell? Musix not the reason! And just because I rap my praise Or speak the word in my Spoken Word Doesn’t mean that I’m going to contort and distort The works of the Lord Frankly, I think some Christians are bored So they extend their index And contend that rhythm has turned their sons into pimps And their daughters into whores Well, if they read their scripture and did their chores They would realize That even the music behind the gospel that they sing Has come from jazz, blues, and rhythms of the world before…. So Musix NOT the reason Yes, I am Christian And I listen to rock, hip-hop and soul That exalts Jesus in the mantra Get over it… the label is just a Genre! Musix not the reason… People are the ones who commit spiritual treason And honestly a beat is not going to sway me from believing in My faith, And if sin was within the air I might as well stop breathing Musix not the reason… The reason is That we lack the ability to reason With the spirit and when it argues with the flesh, the flesh gives into death So it’s the mess within our existence under the skin... THAT IS THE REASON!
