Da Truth - The Greatest Need lyrics

He the messiah [x4] Jesus is the messiah He the messiah He the messiah Jesus is the messiah New West is the new Rome Doing right is the new wrong I pray what they write on my tombstone Is that we never chasing after fool's gold And we lived as kings See, religious people on they worst behavior So, non-believers are the nicest people Is it all a matter of interpretation? I seen em' do charity Maybe, they not as evil as the church has made em' Ain't nobody perfect, ain't we all being human-beings? We gon' make mistakes, nobody said that we wouldn't See, now, religious people that have failed less(Confusing) I mean, they ain't never put they faith in God, but they beat it in 12 steps Successful business men and well-dressed Why would they think that they need God? I can kinda see why that they can care less Folks just ask me how I'm doing I tell them that I'm good But never good enough that I won't be in need of his blood We doing good now Pull ourselves up out of the mud But, no matter how we good do Know it still won't be good enough We need the messiah He the messiah [x4] Jesus is the messiah He the messiah He the messiah Jesus is the messiah I had a dream, I stood on the world stage It was the pope, the pastor of the Dalai lama, and the emom They all represented the world face I looked at God with a weird face, because he wouldn't let him in the pearl gates I'm tying to wrap my mind around it Why would God not allow it? Ain't like they drinking, smoking marijuana Ain't like they gang-banging What's the problem? All they ever wanted to do was see his face They devoted with sincere faith Only to be disappointed when they got to the top of the staircase I'm like what does he want? Is that not enough? I've seen devout Jews at the well of wall with devout trust Prayer rugs and Quarnic books Pastored until our Madonnas up I'm just trying to get to the bottom of it Folks just ask me how I'm doing I tell them that I'm good But never good enough that I won't be in need of his blood We doing good now Pull ourselves up out of the mud But, no matter how we good do Know it still won't be good enough We need the messiah He the messiah [x4] Jesus is the messiah He the messiah He the messiah Jesus is the messiah He's the judge by a different standard We keep trying to get a simple answer Asking me the same question over Hoping I giving you a different answer If you break the law, that's the 10 commandments That'll put you at a disadvantage See that woman and she fully clothed What you seeing is a stripper dancing Boy, you know you can't pretend In God eyes, x-ray Said I'm never doing it again, turned around and it did it the next day I can't keep from doing wrong Even when I'm doing right I think the deeper problem's in my heart No matter how hard I try Think about it before you had the chance to think about it You was only 2 years old when you screamed and pouted Your adolescence sneaking out And going freaking cheating Why you seeking knowledge from the education Never weed it out my man Problem deeper than your economics We got peaks and valleys We got ups and downs Don't try to hide it, the secret side of man The only thing you gotta do is believe You know what it is Jesus didn't come to make bad people good You know that your sins is forgiven And know that it is the greatest leave Jesus came to make dead people live
