IZ-Real - Resist the System lyrics

[Verse 1: MAC THE DOULOS] This that holy hip hop, but easy homie… Wait! Don't tune me out...take it easy homie We preachin' Jesus, but please believe us In all honesty...you really need this homie That's why we hittin' ya block up with this God stuff The gospel of Christ...the only truth…not allah cuz I know hearing this in hip hop can be odd but If we didn't...ya only option would be ya grandma's stuff And that's cool and all But since kats love rap, we sneak the gospel in...spittin' truth in bars Still feel like I'm losing yall If don't rhyme about girls, cash, my crew, or cars Understand...it don't matter how much doe you get dude Cuz when you go…ain't none of it goin' wit you To the afterlife...that's a fact of life It's obvious...you need to change ya appetite Cuz you hungry for the wrong types of things Like the status, the chrome and the icy chains You Materialistic...a spiritual misfit You're at odds with God and you're willing to risk it? So why it gotta be like that Forsaking the savior like he ain't bleed like that Tortured and stretched on a tree like that Died, rose, and rolled, but said that he'd be right back Chorus: Resist the system Reject the status quo Buck against the world's ways God's got a better way Peep the alternative If you dead in sins...you can turn and live That's why He bled for you. Laid in the grave for you Raised in 3 days...the cost of sin's paid for you! [Verse 2: MAC THE DOULOS] I work a 9 to 5 in Chester, PA You'd get depressed if I replayed what I see everyday Why? cats have opted to brush God under the carpet And all this causes is godlessness Look the Stakes is high Like the Empire State sky scraper This situation's major... Turnin' ya back on the God who made ya You don't wanna make that mistake cuz... If you don't follow Christ way...it's a heavy price to pay Don't wait til you die Then open up ya eyes in hell to be like "dag! Yo, them Christians was right Ay yo recognize That we've all sinned and a just God just won't let you slide It's best you side With God's Son who came to taste d**h then rise just to rescue lives Chorus: Resist the system Reject the status quo Buck against the world's ways God's got a better way Peep the alternative If you dead in sins...you can turn and live That's why He bled for you. Laid in the grave for you Raised in 3 days...the cost of sin's paid for you! [Verse 3: MAC THE DOULOS] Oh so you tryin' to be a trap star Gunnin' to be the one runnin' things like a track star Listen...Christ endured the cross, died, and got up So you wouldn't have to run the streets and get shot up And lil' girls learn how to drop that and pop that… I'm askin' myself...ay yo...where they pops at? Oh...he a thug on the strip tryin' be a coke boss Or in the club with a chick...tryin' get her clothes off And this is how cats in the hood think It stinks the enemy...he got the hood hoodwinked It's just disguised lies pullin' the wool over ya eyes Don't be a fool open ya eyes It's so ill I'm on this bumpy ride through life and I'm seeing tons of road of k** Dead individuals...and I ain't talking bout the physical It's spiritual...to bring ‘em back to life we need a miracle God is awesome But people got a priority list where God ain't at the top...we got a problem And its solvin' is only found in the God-man Who suffered the cross to recover the lost that's God's plan Jesus Christ…the way, truth, the life And yup...He can save you despite Who you are or what you've done in life You lost in darkness, you need to turn to the light Chorus: Resist the system Reject the status quo Buck against the world's ways God's got a better way Peep the alternative If you dead in sins...you can turn and live That's why He bled for you. Laid in the grave for you Raised in 3 days...the cost of sin's paid for you!
