| Let me tell you how this all came to be
|
| I was sittin' diggin' in the word Matthew 23
|
| I’m thinking this is it, finally victory
|
| Then the Holy Spirit hit quick convicted me
|
| Could it be it’s just all hypocrisy
|
| I’m a modern day pharisee quite possibly
|
| Tell me whats the use if I know the law
|
| But the true living God I never knew at all
|
| I got to practice what I preach
|
| It don’t matter what I’m saying on these beats
|
| In the church or when I’m on the streets
|
| Tell me whats the use if I don’t practice what I preach
|
| If thats the case I should expect the worst
|
| No surprise why the word would reject the church
|
| I mean why would you respect my turf
|
| If I don’t comply myself and resect it first
|
| Brothers and sisters in Christ this is a wake up call
|
| To myself included I can relate to y’all
|
| Right now is the time I got to start living it
|
| The last thing I want to be is a hypocrite
|
| Make no mistakes its a must that I be honest y’all
|
| Whats in the dark shall come to light thats a promise y’all
|
| I know what someone say it ain’t no surprise to me
|
| «I ain’t a Christian so none of this applies to me»
|
| Indeed, that’s why off and from the start
|
| I sincerely pray THE LORD will soften up your heart
|
| Until then beware of any false prophets
|
| Vicious wolves disguised as sheep that look harmless
|
| Don’t be fooled before you follow suit
|
| I mean really take a look and recognize them by their fruit
|
| The good news is even as I’m writing this
|
| I realize only faith brings forth righteousness
|
| Yet I can’t neglect how I live and behave
|
| Cause faith without works will only end up in the grave
|
| Right nows the time we got to start living it
|
| The last the you want to be is a hypocrite
|
| Come on put yours hands up if you got to stand
|
| This hypocrisy its got to stop its time to man up
|
| I said this hypocrisy its got to stop its time to its time to
|
| Come on put yours hands up if you got to stand up
|
| This hypocrisy its got to stop its time to man up
|
| I said this hypocrisy its got to stop its time to time to |
