Preacher's Rap

Or “Repent, Sinner” You think you so smart An’ everyone else obtuse You always workin’ some angle And bettin’ you’ll never lose But you’re all in a tangle Caught in a triangle Between wants and needs And what’s real You think you Got it made But yo’ logic is skewed Yo’ best plans Destined to come unglued You see, What’s real Is me And I can see Yo’ games You is a fake Make no mistake If you will take From everyone And pay back with lies Yo’ pay-back will make A lightning storm triflin’ A earthquake resemble A baby’s mud pies You see God and me Know all you do And sooner or later it will Come back on you So try lookin’ Beyond yo’ own Personal geometry Yo’ scams And angles Yo’ soul-killing tangles And re-a-lize You can’t stay here fo-ever Think Think Of what comes after And where you want to go Don’t you know The Devil can beat Yo’ best tricks You don’t wanna mix It up with him So try lookin’ Beyond yo’ Personal geometry Yo’ scams And yo’ angles And comb out the tangles You got yourself in Satan uses yo’ fear To keep you near But In Satan’s big plans and yo’ little sinnin’ God’s got you Beat from the very Beginnin’ Even before the Fall God’s not-secret weapon Is His Son An’ His Love An’ His Joy And oh Boy Don’t that Beat all
