Gospel Rap: Parables

Lời bài hát kèm hợp âm cùng dòng

[Verse 1]
[Am]When it started we was down by,
church fallacy as time went by
We took on the appearance of being fit,
but in reality we're not
We're still trapped in the shallow
mentality of gospel rap
These are the [G]secrets of life,
to [Am]some reveal remain
Hidden [G]so that all understand,
the [Am]truth concealed
So we journey dropping [G]theories of
Christ, grammatically
To [Am]awaken [G]those who sleep,
through lyrical caffeination
[Am]Bonafide creations [G]bore fruit,
through [C]verbal [Am]knowledge
As the apparatus [G]of seeds
on good soil had [Am]fallen
But callings of yes,
[G]y 'all into the beat started to f[Am]ade
Ascending, approaching death,
[G]as the roots [Am]reached the pavement
Disciples of
Christ's teachings [G]took surface,
blooming in seasons
But autum[Am]n sparked suffocation,
[G]influenced by niggas wee[Am]ded
Duplicated illustra[C]tions,
[G]took form as gospel dangers
[C]Ex [Am]ploited and victim[G]ized by
industry files of waging
[Am]Anxiously I [C]see em[G]cees bear
fruit to [Am]be collected
Took root, underground,
[G]as rats funneled through tun[Am]nels
Direction, [G]emerging [Am]surface,
[G]submerged within the harvest
Mani[Am]fested by seeds [G]of
another that was infested
[Am]Unlike the [C]rest, [G]through the rain
an[Am]d cold we stood the test
First ten and twenty,
[G]then a hundred fold less
[Am]In this, well [G]plea[C]sed, so on t[G]he
Sabbath they will rest
[C]Six [Am]days, five seed[G]s,
prophecy is manifest
[Am]Motivated by [G]what's being illus[Am]trated
By [G]those [Am]who talk loud,
thereby bring[G]ing distortion
[Am]To both my optical and audio s[G]enses
Which [Am]are responsible
for the mirage of skill
You [G]still tryin' [Am]to keep real,
so I'm here to con[C]nect
[G]You laid [Am]or changed the
course of these events
To guide you toward the demise
[G]of your pre[Am]tense
Therefore my strategic positioning
[G]for this of[Am]fensive attack
Is fueled by your burning
[Em]desire [Am]for being whack
So how you react to this po
[G]tentially [Am]volatile situ[G]ation
[Em]Will conduct the symphony
of [D]sympathy [Dm]you attract
[C]The[D] sky[Am]'s peeled back,
I'll [G]write down fact on [Am]this rich track
Stat[Em]ic, air, pan, [G]clap,
[D]whatever, [Am]I ju[C]st rap
[D]You [Am]understand me ill [G]coined phrase,
[Am]gospel rapper
[G]By [Em]it you turn heads off like th[G]e
mech[D]anics of a clapper
Until [Am]now, it's [G]been a long [Am]time coming
[Em]Now the sludge resides a[D]t the top like
[Dm]Mr.
[D]Drum
And evid[Am]ent to the inner e[G]ye,
no longer discreet
[Em]True motiv[Am]es get unclothed as wo[G]rds
be[Am]come concrete and tangible
Though the brothers begin acting stranger
Anti -ambassadors of one
debuted in a [Em]major
Like [Am]orphans to the industry,
[G]nobody wan[Am]ts me
Passed around by foster labels [G]won
dering if they [Am]plan to dump me
One side is [C]called main[G]stream,
but really I [Am]see no difference
Where's the 50 % ministry,
[G]50 % b[Am]usiness?[G]
[Am]Currently it's [G]1090,
[Am]with[G] the latter always[Am] trailing
[G]As the [Am]cross fades away [G]with the
realness of the nail[Am]ing
Getting [C]over using [G]spiritual para[Am]meters
to evolve your [C]level [G]in society
That's what gospel means to [Am]me
Rolling [C]down the [G]river [Am]of
Christian seeds
Wishing to knock them upside their [G]heads with my oars,
[C]shatter their cords
[Am]Blood trickles [G]from the
[C]pores [G]of the fickle
[Am]Lose control from they [G]fancy [Am]being tickled
How [G]steppers get their peppers peckled?
My [Am]question is this
How do [Am]you keep it real
when you synthetic?
So pathetic, unlikely [C]eating more eight than
HIV
The way I [Am]see things
You're doing more harm than help
with chameleonic skills
Latching on to flavors of the month
for cheap thrill[Am]s
Arms folded on window sills
Finding [C]oddit[Am]ies, you call commodities
You false prodigies, I'm judging
You're catching life's [G]sen
tences for your sodomy
[Am]I clutch a cloud through well[G]
-endowed ima[Am]gination
[G]Collabora[Am]tion with
Penn [G]sends your
DJ on a permanent vaca[Am]tion
I [Em]dabble in [C]word place[G]ment,
some kind of
Scrabble type [Em]shapin'
[Am]Fragment[C]s into [Am]stories, [G]rezontian skyscrapin'[Am] I
be takin' [C]lashes from [G]them cats who cannot
[Am]do the same
Rulin' secular cyphers with no shame,
proclaimin'
Christ's name
Irregular writer on mics,
I'm named the mediocre
artist
[G]The [Am]spots I be in the so
-called hardest,
Christian rappers be discarded
[G]An [Am]d it's odd,
when I catch they shows, [Am]they
claim they ain't no joke
[G]But two [Am]people,
Matt
Project, blowed, and
they be in the back [Am]straight takin' notes
Fool, I rock both,
my pendulum [G]swings on [Am]each
arena I'm [Em]elevatin' gospel rap [D]from
[C]Nashville[D][Am][G][Am][Em]
[D]
Now when [Am]it started we was bound by church fallacy,
as time went by we took on the appearance
of being free, but in reality we're not,
we're still trapped in the shallow mentality of
gospel rap.
When it star[Am]ted [C]we was bound b[G]y church f[Am]allacy,
as time went by we took on [G]the appear[Am]ance
Our are being free
But in reality [G]we're [C]not
[G]We're [Am]still trapped in
the shallow mentality
[G]Of gospel rap
[Am]When it started, [Em]we was bound
[Am]By[G]
[Am]
[C]chu[G]rch fallac[Am]y
As time went [Am]by we took on t[G]he
appearance of being free
But in reality we're not
We're still trapped in the
shallow mentality of gospel rap
