Xander DMC - ROSE Lyrics

Yo
If you catch me rapping about Jesus less, slap me
Fame ain't why I do this, recognition ain't lasting
Lasts about a day
After that I'm feeling crappy again
How long can a man play pretend, I
I got problems, I don't know where to start
Maybe I should go back to the art that had Noah's ark
I'm still tired of sinning
New growth, new problems
Maybe that's why God's stunting my progress
Ahh
Lord I'm sorry for the drama
No one wants to hear it, they'd rather listen to ballers
That's why I got all this money in my wallet
Plus I got the girls callin'
Nah, I'm kidding, did you fall for it?
Paul exhorted, I should listen fore they mop the floor with me
Demons tryna kill me even while I sleep, yo
While I'm awake, it's the same old scenario
Colossians 2:12, I just tell 'em I've been buried yo

Jesus Christ rose again
Rose again
And I rose with Him
Yeah yeah, hey
One day I'll rise up to meet Him
Till then, I'll be hiding in your speakers
Yo
Jesus Christ rose again
Rose again, woo
And I rose with Him
Yeah yeah, hey
One day I'll rise up to meet Him
Till then, I'll be hiding in your speakers

Hiding in your speakers
I don't need no features
I don't need a record deal
I need the Mighty One to keep me, I
I am not your equal
I have quite the feeble tendencies with everything
But in these songs I'm kinda lethal, still
Yo, still it doesn't pay the bills
Grades going down, nah it doesn't pay to chill
Weight going up, I've been eating all these rap beats
Still keep the tracks in the bag in the backseat
Yeah, I put the angel in evangelist
Took up ancient Greek so I could read the early manuscripts
Do not call me Koine I say truth that is so scandalous
Doing's more than saying though, I'm really tryna handle this

Jesus Christ rose again
Rose again
And I rose with Him
Hey hey, woo
One day I'll rise up to meet Him
Uh
Till then, I'll be hiding in your speakers
Yo
Jesus Christ rose again
Rose again, hey
And I rose with Him
Yeah yeah, ahh
One day I'll rise up to meet Him
Uh
Till then, I'll be hiding in your speakers

Look
I've been looking at the time I spend
I can't say that my mind relents
It keeps going, cogs spinning
My attention should be less on sinning
And more on Christ Who's without blemish
I need the Word
I know I got potential
That's why the Devil's after me
The flesh keeps tryna win those
Battles that I get in
Insurmountable offenses?
Nah, because my God is infallible, infinite
Ahh
Almighty Strength, Almighty Power
That's what I rely on every hour
I'm getting showered
Consequences are so hard to bear when God is distant
I just pray that He would lift me
Cause Christ rose
