Cellus Hamilton - If Jesus Was a Rapper Lyrics

I gotta get this off my chest real quick
Hear me out
If Jesus was a rapper how'd He sound
No beat would ever limit Him
Features ain't gone reach out
He keep killin em
Won't post about His music
But they feelin Him
They block His shine
Cause they heard he be stealing fans
He prolly start rapping at eight in temple
With the teachers all around him
Giving ear to
The way He break them scriptures
Down is special
It's God flowing in this earthen vessel
The wisdom of the OG's
Quote proverbs like the wise men from the east
Plus Solomon's dreams
All answered
And manifested in flesh
The love of the father
Shines through his two eyes
And blinds em to deaf
His metaphors
I mean parables
Carry ultimate depth
You think He talking bout the game
But He talking about yo flesh
Bars get the stank face
Ironically
From those who keep the stench high
They spectating specks
But got a plank eye
Got kicked out the church
Refusing to be a
People pleaser
They loving tradition
But won't show love
When you really need em
Ain't have pot to piss in
He was homeless
He only had the father
And his rhyme book
Full of fire
Did many miracles
Cause pleasing God His one desire
No record label
No marketing
Went on tour
All of Israel
Getting excited about Him
His hometown of Atlanta
I mean Nazareth
Hardly show him love
Caint nothing good from here
No respect
Just shoulder shrugs
Aight then
He moved to New York
I mean Galilee
And suddenly
Now they love Him
If Jesus was a rapper
Come on man let's stop playing
If Jesus was a rapper
He'd sound like me
Yea
Yea I said it
Yea I said it
Y'all was thinking it but I said it

I gotta get this off my chest real quick
Hear me out
If Jesus was a rapper how'd He sound
No beat would ever limit Him
Features ain't gone reach out
He keep killin em
Won't post about His music
But they feelin Him
They block His shine
Cause they heard he be stealing fans
He prolly start rapping at eight in temple
With the teachers all around him
Giving ear to
The way He break them scriptures
