Jesus Over Hip Hop

[Intro: Wordsplayed] Jesus over hip-hop [Hook: Wordsplayed & Andy Mineo] (x2) He died, hit the grave and that's why we praise Him Jesus over hip-hop That's the equation Author of salvation, blood make us blameless Jesus over hip-hop That's the equation [Verse 1] I used to be the MC that was battlin' Tearin' 'em other rappers down so I could take the cash and win Now I battle sin My greatest passion is to point the masses to the cross Where He had to get the wrath of Almighty God poured on His back With the lashes of forty all For the sake of man became cursed on a tree Took replacement of my works so through faith I could be free I'm praisin' Him frequently, speakin' these ? teachers to people please See ministry over beats and ninety cycle frequencies Speakin' the universal language of music could reach the streets Preachin' Jesus the only reason I plead and peep these deeds You can cop that line up and chop them rhymes up But stop if your walk ain't line up That's why I put the rock in the center, only rock for a splendor Pray and watch, I got to remember [Hook] (x2) He died, hit the grave and that's why we praise Him Jesus over hip-hop That's the equation Author of salvation, blood make us blameless Jesus over hip-hop That's the equation [Verse 2] Everybody wanna flow, be a Christian rapper Get off the stage, don't wanna be a Christian after Wanna get they records mixed and mastered Rock stages, the same Maybe don't flip the pages of Scripture after, nah That's twisted backwards like (reversed audio) And they never be comin' around but wanna be pastors, why? James tells not all should be teachers Cause we're judged more harshly, now peep this You teachin' everytime your starin' through them speakers So why be worried 'bout ? through Jesus more than carin' 'bout sneakers I wanna see affections for the ressurected Lord And not just in the record stores And the reason why I'm pressin' y'all is so we don't make idols out our craft That's the lesson y'all Cause we see the beats and rhymes work But the Bible says go and make disciples Don't just meet up at a concert [Hook] (x2) He died, hit the grave and that's why we praise Him Jesus over hip-hop That's the equation Author of salvation, blood make us blameless Jesus over hip-hop That's the equation [Verse 3] I love the cardboard, the break beats, the rappin' and graffiti But that shouldn't be the only reason why we meet If we stay there we all milk what we need, need Prayer and Bible study, accountability weekly And there ain't nothin' wrong with havin' a passion for rappin' As long as it ain't surpassin' El Shaddai I see so many make a pen and paper their savior And then they don't find peace in the storm and wonder why, man I wanna see abandonment to Christ Takin' our hearts and examinin' them under the light Peepin' the motives that control us, cause if we lose focus of the cross We're hopeless, ministry starts chokin' us I'm so broken cause, I fear that you don't know Ministry doens't measure your spiritual growth If you're Christians, where does Christ rank? That's why it's Jesus over, well, you fill in the blank
