G-Natural - I Wear the Armor Lyrics

I serve a King, greater than Arthur
So when I'm on duty, I wear the armor
No need to lash out, when I'm surrounded by drama
'Cause when it goes down, yo, I wear the armor
It's your boy G-Nat, I'm back and believe that
I wanna get you on the same page, saying
If you wanna put your best up, you gotta vest up
Whether or not you're onstage, and gimme
Some grace for when I repeat myself
If I do it, I do it for emphasis, I take it for rizzle
Themes from the written epistle
Of Paul to the church of Ephesus, ya gettin this
And those people, let's call em Ephesians
He wrote em a letter for a reason, to prevent
A spiritual treason, so they wouldn't be
Taken, Liam Neeson
By false teaching, each and every time
That he'd speak, he'd be preaching Jesus, he
Taught em to check what he was doing and seeing
And if it lined up with the Word like Bereans
(He wore the armor) and wanted them to become
Pure, unified, mature, and favored
To spread love in the private sector, to
Families, kids, and neighbor to neighbor
And at the end of the letter, he knew they would
Face some scandals and he wanted em to handle it better
To show em what they were headed for
He gave the Ephesians a great metaphor
But first he told em, "listen, your true mission
It's not to fight the opposition
The people who oppose you aren't your enemies
But spiritual evil in the heavenlies
Then he told em, God's got some armor
Put it on, wear it, it's there for you
Well they kept their cool and stayed calmer
By wearing the armor, and that's why I wear it too

I serve a King, greater than Arthur
So when I'm on duty, I wear the armor
No need to lash out, when I'm surrounded by drama
'Cause when it goes down, yo, I wear the armor

So what you waiting for? You're in a war
Gear up capisce? Don't stand around
Discord and grief, yo, it turns to beef
But even without a piece, you can stand your ground, still
Cause your enemy pretends to wheel and deal
But the truth is he came to steal and kill
Lure you in with a promised meal of veal
Order, then stick you with the bill, for real for real
So you gotta be ready, with the shield of faith
And the belt of truth around your waist
Your righteousness is kevlar, it
Stops attacks so your faith can get far
Plus you gotta have good kicks, upon your feet
Always ready to share good news of peace
The Word will keep your path well lit
'Cause when you know you're saved, that's your helmet
You don't need martial arts or boxing
The Sword is your weapon and the Spirit unlocks it
So when you can't see, environment's toxic
The word cuts through, illuminates your optics
And whether Greek Orthodox or Coptic
The Spirit and the Word give Satan a drop-kick
No matter the topic, caustic gnostics cannot
Contradict gospel synoptics
Truth is truth, no matter what they're callin' it
So don't window shop, put it on, all of it
Join the ranks in the cloud of witnesses
Testify, forget not his benefits
So if you're feelin' gassed like Chevron
On the armor sleep less, Nora Ephron
And when the enemy attacks, you'll be Teflon
Tell 'em in the name of Jesus, get gone

I wear the armor so I stay calmer
I wear the armor it's my safe harbor
I wear the armor cause God the father's
Unstoppable like a B-52 bomber
I wear the armor so I stay calmer
I wear the armor it's my safe harbor
I wear the armor cause God the father's
Unstoppable like a B-52 bomber

I serve a King, greater than Arthur
So when I'm on duty, I wear the armor
No need to lash out, when I'm surrounded by drama
'Cause when it goes down, yo, I wear the armor
