INTRO

Give us the truth...part 2 (part 2, part 2, part2)

Give us the truth

For every email, for every phone call

For everybody that came up to me at a show, Here's part 2...listen yo 


VERSE 1

After the platinum show the two I did with cross movement

I said my goodbyes 'cause I had to fly back to St. Louis

I left there to early for my first semester in school

I was exposed to so much truth that I had to choose

between what I had learned and what I was taught to do

at my church on my zone I was so confused

the first sunday morning back it was a culture shock

watching the sheppard and sheep explode like a soda pop

they're heads was shaking, they shaking over these chintzy sermons

people spitting and shouting but nobody's discerning

I left the building

my feeling were crushed I felt forsakin'

the one place I was supposed to come for restoration. 

and worship of a Holy God and exalt Him in praises

spent the whole prayer time rubuking the satan

spent the whole sermon time just talking 'bout money

while I was dieing inside and spiritually hungry.


CHORUS

Give us the truth

That's what we need if we're gon' properly teach

If we gon' seek and we gon' properly reach.

Give us the truth 

That's what we need if we gon' carry our cross

and if we gon' affectively disciple tha law.

Give us the truth 

That's what we need if we gon' walk up in holiness and boldness and meek and lowliness.

Give us the truth

That's what we need in this race we running

proper lessons as we wait for his second coming (for real)

Give us the truth 


VERSE 2 

I left tha crib

moved into the dorms

so depressed that I ventured in porn (it was a crazy thing)

I felt the disconnect from Jesus' arms

so I ceased to write these rhythms in palms to disobey the King

I told my teachers that I was living in sin

and my bible I'll never read it again and threw it in the closet

and anything that had to do with God

Marcus T. he was going the opposite into lifestyle

I called phanatic and turn to the cell

ad said for ministry I would go to jail 'cause I was in no position

to minister to anybody at all

cause I wasnt sure if I was a christian at that moment dog

I was skipping classes

hanging with the masses

and my days were black and grey like cigareete ashes

all I know is that I wanted to die

but suicide met me into God

then I felt Him shook me.


REPEAT CHORUS


VERSE 3

But it was obvious

God in his providence

put me with people to guide me and got me outta this

during the chapel service

a cat named Paul Wausher

preached the gospel and drove me up to the Lord's alter

and I confessed my sin

and he presed reset again

I started ova and felt like a solider for Jehovah

I called my old pastor and apologized for how I behaved

as of that day we agreed to go our seperate ways. 

I met this girl named beth who told me about a church home

first I visit, became a member, and then it was on

then the pastor gave me a stack of books

now Im back with raps and hooks

took a summer and spent three hundred dollars on tapes and books and learned from these biblical scholars

now Im back and Im walking in light

living my life

Glorifying Jesus Christ


CHORUS
