Christian Is My New Gang

Yuh For real
Aye
The World is sick but Jesus been the cure
And you gon' need it but
You can’t see it when your lens is blurred
Went from a menace to apprentice stuck within his word
He redesigned this heathen’s mind
The reason why I minister
I’m seein' lately people hate me
I ain’t insecure
So I’d rather be innovative than be immature
The blasphemous should not be asking what the tension’s for
The Church is Jesus' bride
Be respectful when you mention her
Yeah
I’m really bout it if it’s really bout it
Learned to put my hand in dirt
And work to pull some scrilly out it
They say you scared then go to church
Get that out here bro
Ya’ll niggas scared to go to church
But I’m out here though
Yuh
Where I’m from it’s rowdy like a rodeo
That typa lift’ll knock you stiff like you got polio
I seen hella niggas bloodied in they prime
With they mind on they money and they money on they mind
For real
Christian is my new gang
If we’re prisoners in time
I’m a lifer for the truth mane
Righteous is my new swang
Yeah
Christian is my new gang
Christian is my new gang
If we’re prisoners in time
I’m a lifer for the truth mane
Righteous is my new swang
Christian is my new gang
Yuh
For Real
And it started with us partnering for civil rights
Now look how far from what we are from being civil, right?
Place us in one’s space and time
We can’t have one civil night
Hatred is a brown recluse
Big ol wound, little bite
I chopped with rellies
Bout the status of the state we in
They say that their mistakes
Is because racism is making em
Now racism’s to blame
For causing pain and what it takes from em
But God can heal us all from it
But we don’t take our place with ‘im
We judge ourselves as good so we don’t seek no grace from Him
We bit from the forbidden fruit
And learned we love the taste of sin
It’s genocide and we’re the worst despite our late begin
You think you fly
You just a bird inside a atrium
Yuh
And what you bangin' isn’t worth your own
We don’t own a single house but yet we call the turf our home
Claim we love our people
But will kill them over selfish greed
I just hope this helps us see
That we are self deceived
Christian is my new gang
If we’re prisoners in time
I’m a lifer for the truth mane
Righteous is my new swang
Yeah
Christian is my new gang
Christian is my new gang
If we’re prisoners in time
I’m a lifer for the truth mane
Righteous is my new swang
Christian is my new gang
For real
For those that know me it’s a known fact
Kept it tucked under the throwback
And the towel on the muzzle kept it muffled if we blow that
Far as hustling I sold sacks
And not just them boy
I sold straps
But never to the other side
Can’t trust em and we know that
There’s rules and regulations
You break em you could never go back
I never spoke reckless to detectives I kept a cold jack
You ever seen blood leaking out a face that took a few
And you could tell he done
Just by the way he looks at you
I tell em they should bail cuz it’s a horrifying life
Went from celebrating hell now I’m glorifying Christ
Purple flag on heezay
Crosses on that G-thing
Symbolized the cost He paid for all of us to be changed
Too dumb when I was young to say I was the smartest nigga
Always been a target hitter
Plus I’ll take some charges witcha
Nothing overstated I don’t claim I was the hardest
But I’m down for what I stand fo
So I’m standing up regardless
Nigga
Christian is my new gang
If we’re prisoners in time
I’m a lifer for the truth mane
Righteous is my new swang
Yeah
Christian is my new gang
Christian is my new gang
If we’re prisoners in time
I’m a lifer for the truth mane
Righteous is my new swang
Christian is my new gang
