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
