Friction

[Hook: Stephen the Levite] Can you feel the Friction? Official, scratch where it’s itchin’ Do you feel the friction? [Verse 1: Stephen the Levite] Feel the friction, the world rubbin’ up against the Christian Within him’s conviction: resistance from itchin’ There is no prevention, the itchin’s persistent Even when he gives in, it won’t quit insistin’ He’s tempted, bent to be a sinner since his entrance Been givin’ a sixth sense since the Spirit’s imprint Proof of the Master’s use (oops, I’ll bring it back in two) Truth you can tap into and fruit you can sample dude He fits the description, his sins now afflict him His Interest has switched his intentions for livin’ His friends see the difference, his kin seem indifferent They each keep their distance, cause neither seem to get him Peeps think he’s trippin’, Easter and Christmas He speaks of forgiveness, and these peep his witness They sleep when he’s spittin’, he’s a freak in thier vision But he’ll reap in the end what only Jesus can give Him (It’s redemption) [Hook] [Verse 2: Mark Arthur] It isn’t at all deep, friction can cause heat As we get exposed to the letter, the closer the better We don’t want it, if it’s trouble, busting your whole bubble And keep playing to win, go to the goal from the huddle Now if the truth isn’t missing, that will produce friction Then do what the song say, when sin rubs you the wrong way It can be hard to resist (though) God is in the midst (For the), men who start with a sinful heart Heaven’s where we’re going, (the christian) 7th chapter of Romans Though we’re inclined to sin fam we dying to win Relieving words to the lost, merge and then pause Pop the fly ball or catch a curve at the cross Hard to crush, we guard what we trust Keep stressing the clash and pray the pressure will pass We want you to see what is pure, Christ the king is the cure Directly after the truth, please sample the fruit [Hook] [Verse 3: Anon] Like matches to flaps, a catalyst for the spark The Gospel of Light to hearts left in the dark Comparisons are endless, adequacy is none Let’s change up the sequence, givin the truth to some An opposition of foes, warring until the end Suppose the law’s on the left, on the right is sin One is promising life, (but) really its bringing death The other’s cloaked in the one, (while) bringing death in the text A ministry of death, uh-uh, not in itself But inside, where sin thrives, showing man his help- Less condition, positionally poor a pitiful status And then, CHRIST, will arrest the sin habit And sin’s damage, it’s the Gospel of Grace Which takes the treacherous lives and affords ‘em Faith So count it all joy, because the battle will cease Discouragement aside, along with your unbelief [Hook] [Verse 4: Zae da Blacksmith] Eyo let’s stop for a minute and give thought to the men who did Spectacular actions like Steve in Acts chapter 7 and Think about the way they went against the grain They would rather to be slain than to never preach his name “Martyrs” stoned and burned and earned bruises But the church grew strong through persecutions And who would have ever figured a factor to cause it Was opposition that made the friction that sparked it Huh (pic click) get the picture peep the principle So you can see what it was meant and what it wasn’t meant to do Friction isn’t affliction to make you break or buckle though Eventually it can be used in exposing the suckers though Yo, It’s like refinement in a fire Or the life of a diamond before they’d mine him and buy him Cause (ching) iron sharpens iron through friction Proverbs 27:17 check the Scriptures [Hook]
