Yes Lord
Oh yes Lord yes Lord
Thank you choir for that amb selection
Father God that you got them sounding mighty fine today
Now now. Deacons I'm gon'need you to stand in front of the door
Oh you may need to stand in front of the door.
I believe ima say some things some folk ain't gonna like tonight
Oh you ain't gon' like me
Can I testify
Can I testify
Church
By Now you should know that I mean what I say and you better believe it
I just say this once, I won't repeat myself so you better believe it
You better believe it x8
Please pay attention, everybody better settle in
Minor get to preaching on these tracks like a reverend
Not like, some of the ones in the spotlight
On private jets, better straighten up and fly right
That treat the church like a brothel, they prostitute the truth
How many people gotta die tonight before we stop preaching to the choir
They get scared when I talk about the drugs, and the gun
And the hood, and the poor, like if we don't pay attention it won't happen any more
In the suburbs, where the money at, they send it overseas before they send it to Chicago
Cop kill a kid bet they talk about Chicago
Yea the hood is messed up, pray before you judge tho
Who finna stand up
Can't turn my back on the culture, be a vulture
I approach ya, and tell you how my family in hood
And it looking good, so if I move to L.A
I'll never be Hollywood
Yes this is personal, it's a not a show
If it was just for dough, what's the point of even doing it for
When it's people that I know straight hooked to dope
I got truth that they need know, let me talk about it
By Now you should know that I mean what I say and you better believe it
I just say this once, I won't repeat myself so you better believe it
You better believe it x8
They don't wanna hear what I gotta say
They don't wanna hear what I gotta say
They don't wanna hear me talk about how Sunday service
Is the most segregated time in the USA
What kinda sermon do you think that preach to everybody watching
Here's another man shot and we don't talk about the topic
We don't even pray about it, all we say about it
No comment, we won't rock a boat about it
I ain't scared, It don't matter what the cost, I'm say it
Till its prices on my head and I'm dead
Go to chucky cheese if you looking for a token
I am only bout spitting real truth that is potent
Fight for the found and the lost, slave and the free
And I'll give my life cause he gave it for me
I speak for a king and we made in his image
So when you looking at yourself, his reflection in the mirror
Gimme me the mic, run it again, y'all in my aim now
I'm running from nothing, i give em the key, unlocking the chain now
I say what I want, and I'm keeping it real, that is the wave now
I know what I'm doing, they seeing the movement
Its making em ready for change now
Give it away now, give it a, give it a give it away now
Give it away now, give it a, give it a give it away now
A lot of people talk, I ain't heard a thang now
And if I say it, then believe it right away now
By Now you should know that I mean what I say and you better believe it
I just say this once, I won't repeat myself so you better believe it
You better believe it x8
