Spit It
It's shaking,
the world is shaking,
like an old man's hand,
I don't understand,
why are you messing with time?
I wanna move forward,
but you tell me rewind,
you say it's a sign,
From up above,
But I'm missing the love,
wait, before do this,
let me strap on my glove,
if your soul is with it,
raise your heads and spit it,
everything you've been doing,
now is the time to quit it,
for too long we've been silent,
now you asking “what causes church folks to turn violent?”
My forgetful friend,
this I thought you knew,
but since it slipped your mind,
I will give you a clue,
tell me whose side are you on?
I can't take this no longer,
my bread basket is full,
but I can't sleep for the hunger,
it burns me inside,
to see a king loosing his pride,
instead of speaking the truth,
you just stood up and lied,
you quickly denied,
you took our laws,
threw them aside,
using our steaks,
you fatten all the frogs for the snakes,
to: all of the fakes,
I promise you,
whatever it takes,
one day you will see who holds the power,
when everything you have disappear in one hour,
when the sweet water you drank for years becomes sour,
you will know that our God is a strong tower.
What have you done to this nation?
You can take my roof,
but don't touch the foundation,
Be careful cuz your playing with the wrong generation,
if your soul is with it,
raise your heads and spit it,
everything you've been doing,
now is the time to quit it,
kings don't bow to paper,
asking for a yard when you really want an acre,
I want you to understand,
when you set foot on this land,
you will see who holds the power,
making things disappear in one hour,
when the sweet water you drank for years becomes sour,
you will know that our God is a strong tower.
