Righteousness is a menace to corruption

He was subjected to a biased system just like me 
He was falsely accused of blasphemy 
His presence was a threat to their status quo 
So into a jail cell Jesus they did throw 

righteousness is a menace to corruption 
and Justice is a danger to obstruction 
and anyone who tries to make this world woke 
those in dark seats of power will cut off and choke 

we serve a God of true salvation
a God of righteousness and restoration
and no matter how hard evil tries to take us down 
God will always place us on higher ground 

righteousness is a menace to corruption 
and justice is a danger to obstruction 
and anyone who tries to make this world woke 
those in dark seats of power will cut off and choke 

Jesus's sacrifice was the catalyst 
that allowed us to be renewed and blessed 
and the sacred blood that was shedded 
on Mount Calvary 
cleansed us of sin and gave us a ministry 

they wanted to eradicate 
and make Him an outcast 
they wanted to exterminate
and treat Jesus like trash 

but righteousness will always be 
a menace to corruption 
and spiritually justice always 
a danger to obstruction 
and anyone who tries to make this world truly woke 
those in dark seats of power will cut off and choke 

yet they couldn't destroy Jesus's reputation 
not comprehending He was God's creation 
The Messiah, Our Savior, the Son of Man 
Who came to wake us up to His Father's plan 

yes, righteousness is a menace to corruption 
and justice is a danger to obstruction 
and Jesus who came to make this world woke 
will never be cut off and will never choke 
the Messiah, Our Savior, the Son of Man 
who came to wake us up to His Father's 
master plans
