Swoope - Word to My Peoples lyrics

[Intro: Swoope] That's word to my peoples Uh, I'm just tryin' to bring the Word to my peoples [Verse 1: Swoope] This song is not for the soft of skin I'm just a little concerned that our hearing's hard The problem is that our mouth's too big So it's hard for us to discern if we're hearing God See it's odd, we speak to repeated, tweet to be retweeted Impressed by our words and not the teachings of Jesus Hard to tell the old in the faith, meet us where meat is If we don't ever grow in the faith, keep us a fetus Scriptures we're skimming through, keep a few literate Rather have that half and half, preach that 2 percent to us Maybe speak lactaid, maybe rhyme Similac But if you rap steak, it's "I ain't into that" It's too deep man the streets won't get it It's too big and the streets want midgets Message never change and the method ain't offensive So it ain't how I rap man, it's really what the gift is I was givin' the Gospel, not as a ritual But for me to steward that life to men So if I've hidden the Gospel, only givin' a little Then I'm a bad steward to the mice and men Now I'm not saying I'm the consignment deliverer of Scripture But don't put so much emphasis on me that you miss the Point that I'm gettin' to, Bible was missin' bruh [Hook: Swoope] Uh, uh, that's word to my peoples I'm just tryin' to bring the Word to my peoples Uh, uh, that's word to my peoples I'm just tryin' to bring the Word to my peoples Uh, uh, that's word to my peoples I'm just tryin' to bring the Word to my peoples Uh, uh, that's word to my peoples Word, w-word, w-word, word [Verse 2: Swoope] I did a show back in Cleveland, Ohio That really had me contemplating leaving Ohio Taking my talents down to South Beach from Ohio I was embarra**ed like I pee-peed on my clothes The scene was nightmarish, was I dreaming with eyes closed? I just came to bring a message from the Text But all they wanted was the same thing from their iPhone Stevie Jobs' drones, heads down, not praying but Made me wanna hang it up, beep from a dial tone But then I thought of the King that's seated by God's throne And how He was beat, stabbed, and leaked from His side so I hit the stage and I picked up the microphone Tested 1-2, wasn't off so I was on Boldly professed that the King is awesome I looked to my left, seen some people yawning I looked to my right, they said "He is boring" Then back to my left, they moved to sleep from yawning Am I speaking foreign, in preaching the Gospel? Or speaking to foreigners that speakee no Bible? I ain't speaking their language, to me this is dangerous When the people abstain from truth, to seek entertainment Like Jesus a side show, to me this is vital To pledge my allegiance to God, so I am a rider, I give my all Call me Mariah, singing them high notes I'm preaching the Gospel, in season and out yo God's ??? If you're watering down the seed it will not grow And you cannot reap what is not sown Just like you cannot eat what is not grown I give you what you need but may not want, the Bible [Hook: Swoope] [Verse 3: Swoope] Rappers, constant concerts, where the 808's louder And it's not a concert, unless you crowd surf People leaving out the concert, like "Wowzers" They should be more wowed by what was not heard Pastors, budgets, buildings, and bu*ts in the pews But cats leaving out your building like "What's the good news? I mean I got this good feeling but what's the good news?" The Bible or tithes yo, so what did you choose? Don't let your ministry become a hindering to what is meant to be A platform for the living, active Scriptures G So open your mouth and let the Scriptures speak Or better yet, shut your mouth then let the Scriptures speak It's better said when the Trinity Uses men who weak as vessels and in the strength have seen Faithless, faith get, as they hear and then believe But see they won't believe if we never Scripture preach And we can't Scripture preach if we never Scripture read If we don't dig our feet into the riches, Mr. Deeds Don't miss the thing that makes Mr. Filthy Mr. Clean Skipping on this wisdom is silly as Mr. Bean Word, if we don't stand on His fullness, we fail on E And that's more than just a misdemean-or That's word to my peoples [Outro: TJ Pompeo] Na na na na So turn the pages love And see the writing on your heart It never changes love Let it guide you like the stars So turn the pages love And see the writing on your heart It never changes love (No no) Let it guide you like the stars So turn the pages love And see the writing on your heart It never changes love (No no) So let it guide you like the stars
