Darling, I Hum Our Song(Previously Unreleased Extended Stereo Mix)

歌詞

Welcome to our world No killers, drug dealers Guerillas, no villains Christ told us that most of them won't feel us Welcome to our world No hustlers, customers Everybody in the building Get your hands up with the rest of us If The Game could give props to Biggie, Pac and Dre And the whole rap world could give love to "J" And they could pay homage to Jam Master Jay And commemorate the heroes that passed away Then I could proceed with what I have to say And pay respect to all the godly men that passed The Faith Yeah, they went ahead of us- now, the path is straight And died so that we could have life passed the grave From prophets to the priests- we trace it back to the greats Take it back to the days when faith had a face And not just a mouth when the saints grabbed the grace And I ain't talkin' about the prayer before you pass the plate I'm talkin' 'bout what taught them to stay fast and trade The pleasures of this life for Ahaz's hate Now, I know they "wasn't" perfect but play back the tapes And history will show how the saints' path was shaped Welcome to our world No killers, drug dealers Guerillas, no villains Christ told us that most of them won't feel us People got questions like- How come ya'll don't talk about Martin and Malcolm But y'all always talkin' bout Calvin and Luther 'Cause these are the dudes that introduced us to truth And the fruit that's produced in us is the outcome So from now until the day that we die We'll occupy with the things of God while our mouths run That's unique to the saints- you know how roots run deep in the faith Let me explain what I mean You know I mean what I say We're following after the pioneers leading the way Apostles like Paul and others that were labeled the way It was either all or nothing- there could be no more gray These were the writers of the Bible we believe in today I know they're gone but not forgotten- when we read them their sway Is so strong we say so long to the evil- I pray That His people would read those leaders and say Welcome to our world No killers, drug dealers Guerillas, no villains Christ told us that most of them won't feel us Y'all know we're the legs and feet of the legacy Predestined to be- before the pregnancy We're all just a piece of the puzzle- if I could speak for myself I'm walking in the footprints that were left for me Now, I know I just quoted one of their poets But take note- I just stole it to help show them the recipe How the past and the present- once plastered together Led up to the path of our destiny Since the baton has been passed We want to write 'em a pass and invite them to our world Where the mind has been transformed By the power of Christ, we draw lines in the sand That would explain the unpopular stance Like pro-life that wouldn't heighten the chance Of being liked- do we care- I wouldn't lie to my fams So, while the wicked sing songs that got them in a trance We sing songs and hymns like the bottom of your pants 'Cause we're different- we bless those that hate us While in the West Coast, they say let's load the bangers Over-dress codesó no dress clothesó we're strangers Saints in the foreign landó where the best road to fame is Playing lowó praying and saying no To our fleshly impulses post weighing the pros and cons We don't close our eyes- we stay sober So you know we're opposed to wine Or at least getting drunkó we propose to our wives And say I do before we close the blinds No boasting and pride, no boasting in "I" Pray that you and I would be a poster child In the Kingdom of God where Christ is Lord We submit unto the authorityó His righteous sword Life in Christó otherwise life is a bore So we abhor eviló that which is a sight for sore eyes
