about

Instead of hearing and applying what it is thats going to be beneficial to our people, a majority of them would rather stick to "comforts." ezekiel 12:2 is the motivation for this one, "Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house"

lyrics

1 bro, 2 bro 3 bro 4
I try to teach em bout The Lord but they don't want that growth
They rather get a brick and break it down at the stove
And pray they do it all again
I swear they al so lost
-repeat-

(verse1)
It was a point, in my life I thought that I was so cold
That I could remedy it, just by buying a new fur coat
A chinchilla, rock it while
While I bake a brick at the stove
I thought breaking down bricks
Was the key to get on

But all these other thoughts wouldn't leave me alone
Like I could ball show em all I was king on a throne
I also seen niggaz don't last long
They have a short run then face jail or funeral homes

I was Cleo with the vision, couldn't see that in my future
So I took to a pad and tried pen my confusion
All that appeared was an illusion
Me advocating a life of delusion
All of that hatred I blatant spew it
Against my brother propagating
More confusion

And I had to keep it real,
cuz that's the way I represent it.
And Everything I said,
I wanted y'all to know I meant it.
Even if the statements brought my own death sentence
Who cares long as y'all knew I was really bout that business
So lost

(hook)

(verse 2)
What we really need to do is uplift each other
Why we stunt like we stunt that don't teach us nothing
We see each other in the street, we don't speak to each other
Just a stank eye, that's the way we greet one another

You get emotional niggas all in they feelings
They spend they whole day looking for a reason to spill it
The reason that, blood spill go ask Caesar borgier
That's ya grandmama god, see what he gotta say

He can't save you, it's gone continue to be that way
Cuz he that make, idols and then send them praise.
The penalty paid is maze races groping at noonday
Fear of everything have you bolting like usain

Two thangs in ya life that'll set you straight
Repent and live ya life according to His Way
This ain't hard, it ain't easy either
But it can be done, promise go ask Jesus.
