[Verse 1]

I understand and stand under the cross of He who bled

Now I'm covered in His blood-shed, all I see is red

Like the Red Sea, it's deadly with out Christ so cool it

My God played this world like twelve inches, cause He rules it

From pulpit to ghetto, projects to golden meadows

The Bread of Life leads men back home like Hanzel and Gretle

Push the peddle across the globe like express truckers or bikers

Carry the Gospel like Fed- Ex from Rutgers to Rikers

Some love us some like, then some can't stand us,

Cause we expose and appose the evil that man does

That we do, not even those who speak in Greek and Hebrew

Can build a wall of knowledge of self that God can't see through

It's He who made us, and not we ourselves,

Don't have enough might, enough thought power cells

And our shells are empty until He fills them

So ‘til then Cross Movement will be chillin'

No more lookin' for a real love Mary J.

Now I parley with Jesus all day every day.



[Chorus:]

And that's from sun up, unto sun down

There is One Love, who wears One crown

Long as my mic is plugged into my cord

We live one life and we serve One Lord



[Verse 2]

Daily, my mind is bombarded with the fact of things

That God is not a part of our everyday happenings,

The raps we sing, the films we watch, the lives we live, men's prerogative

And we like it like that, when God's word comes across the net,

You can bet we spike it right back

But when you're the object of pain, it's not odd it's insane

How God is left out, yet God gets the blame

When it's negative, yet all the while peep all the smiles

As peeps call and shout, “yo, just let us live”

Even though it's very contrary to what He say

That's how they roll all day every day



[Chorus]



[Verse 3]

Check this y'all, don't get lost in my song rhythm

Eyes off me and onto the King who's long livin'

Ever since me and the Lord have been swingin like ax handles

Without Him, life is risky business like tax scandals

Now He got me feelin nicer than Jack Daniels

Reject Christ and end up burnin like wax candles

But that's not His main thrust, look how He gains trust

And loved us enough to let His veins bust

Follow man if you want trouble,

Live life on your own and catch wreck like a stunt double

Death is the penalty for sin so we're called to die

So all rise, but all eyes on the fall guy

The substitute, man's stand in at the cross

Was slain as a lamb, paid as a ransom for the lost

The cost of keeping it real, hip-hop's motto and creed

Is escaping reality, through a fat bag of weed

I would've had to bleed, just to pay for my own sins

Born with an omen, ‘til Christ came now I owe Him

And can't repay, so check the chant we say

It's Jesus the Christ all day every day

And can't repay, so check the chant we say

It's Jesus the Christ all day every day



[Chorus]
