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!
