Now you can have all the fun and money man can have
Sport a porche or carry gucci bags
You can gear in gold from your chest to your chin
But if you don't know the savior, you'll never get in
The gates of hell shall prevail on your soul
If makin' money, shakin' honeys is your lifelong goal
There's a plan laid before you that can change the above
It can fit any man like a hand in a glove
There's only one way to heaven and that won't change
Cause my almighty father's not respectful of names
So be saved

(chorus)
Saved, you gah ta be saved
Saved, you gah ta be saved
Saved, you gah ta be saved
Saved, you gah ta be saved

I once knew a politician upon capitol hill
Attended all the right parties cause he voted on bills
He had big friends, he drove a benz
But a life full of strife cause he was livin' in sin
He said he wasn't satisfied with life as it was
Everything he'd always wanted simply wasn't enough
When he asked me why so happy, i had to confess
I got christ in my life, i've been more than blessed
You see there's nothin' wrong with finer things in life
But an eternity in heaven ain't displayin' a price
So be saved

(repeat chorus)

You gotta know it and believe it
You gotta show it and receive it

(repeat chorus)

From a brother to another, i'm not doggin' the bucks
Cause a bum without the father is a bum outta luck
No mention of exemption, no requirements waived
To enter through the gates ya gotta gotta be saved
Don't make it complex, straight up text
No matter what race, creed, color, or sex
Accept him, don't reject him, heed the call of the christ
He's at your heart's door knockin', he awaits a reply
This life is temporary, lay your treasures above
Eternal life is offered through his infinite love
Be saved

(repeat chorus)

John the baptist prophesied a messiah will rise
He'll be tried, crucified, ascend in the skies
Years later in the city of dave
A miracle of god gave a virgin a babe
Kings came from afar, followed a star
To worship baby jesus who was born in a barn
He brings peace on earth, his mercy is mild
God and sinners reconciled through the birth of a child
It's the story of my savior, my reason to sing
Allelujah, let it move ya, christ is king

(chorus)
Allelujah
Christ is king
Allelujah
Let the praises ring
Allelujah

He stood before pilot an innocent man
They cried "crucify," he supplied demand
He was mocked, spit upon, his clothes were torn
Royalty was represented with a crown of thorns
They placed him in a robe, they gave him a staff
As they gambled for his garments roman soldiers laughed
Upon golgotha they crucified christ
Sent from above to cold pay your price
On his command opposition was through
But christ said "forgive them, they know not what they do"

(repeat chorus)

Now mary ran toward the tomb of her messiah and lord
Shocked to find the rock removed that served as a door
She took one step inside, filled with fright
She thought a thief must have stole his body late in the night
As she fell to the ground she began to weep
Heard a voice and turned to hear the savior speak
Christ the messiah risen up from the dead
"he's alive, she cried, like the prophecy read
It's the story of my savior, my reason to sing
Allelujah, christ is king

(repeat chorus)

Well i walk through this world livin' day to day
I see the people, hear what they have to say
Take a look at the ethics, morals, and goals
Makin' gods outta men that rock 'n roll
Like sodom and gomorrah, this world will fall
A total destruction, destiny of all
Who have mocked the name of jesus, the savior and lord
In the battle of armageddon and a two-edged sword
Satan in a day he will never forget
When the king hurls him into a bottomless pit
So keep your eyes on the lord, don't follow human ways
Cause it's written in the word, these are the final days

(chorus)
Final days
Change your ways
Final days

The final days is what my song's about
Words so intense i might have to shout
Some might play hard and say i'm wack
But i'm talkin' about truth not egomaniac
And as long as they listen, they won't be dissin'
Cause rappin' final days is a serious mission
Just so they learn, i will stand stern
I hope my words make ya start to churn
I'm concerned with the life that you're livin' now
Your's ego's so bad that ya can't even bow
To the master of all, creator of creation
I'm talkin' bout god no misinterpretation
Rappin' hard for the one who deserves the best
Speakin' rhymes that will try and put your heart to test
Don't stop and stare me down with that b-boy haze
Get busy, cause these are the final days

(repeat chorus)

The words of my rap are not what you think
But so secure i suggest you take 'em to the bank
Or better yet take these words to heart
Don't wait until tomorrow, now's the time to start
I'm not askin' for your money or rappin' for a fee
Think upon the words is my only plea
Cause this song's about to end, your time is runnin' thin
And now that my time is up, it's time for you to begin
To do this job is my only request
A basic rap exam puts mc's to test
Spread these words like a fire ablaze
Cause i'm tellin' ya we're livin' in the final days

(chorus)

Round, round, you're spinnin' round
Your life goes round and round

I got a reason to rap cause my god is king
Just like a gospel singer's got a reason to sing
And like young david used to play his harp
Presenting praise and worship in the form of an art
I selected a direction, i'm going one way
I got a motive and a reason to say what i say
Telling you about a friend, you need to know him
Christ the messiah is the savior of men
I presented my purpose, now present to me your's
To boast and to brag the most is no chore
I don't mean to sound negative, ain't puttin' ya down
But it appears kinda clear that you're just spinnin' around

(chorus)
Round, round, a-ra-a round, round
You're spinnin' round
Round, round, a-ra-a round, round
On your way down
Round, round, a-ra-a round, round
You're spinnin' round
Round, round, a-ra-a round, round
Christ must be found

Spin, then do it again
But no real direction is where you've been
You're spinnin' like a top or a merry-go-round
Your life song is like my break sound
Your rap is ego-filled, the milk has been spilled
And for this piece of advice, you won't be billed
But take heed to this info, like it came from ya kin folk
Remem' it ain't a whim but you will hear it again
Yo, listen kinda a close, you might need a dose
Of decent christian rap with dc talk as your host
I'm not on the mic to boast but i submit a toast
Praise the lord y'all sings a heavenly host
You're spinnin'

(repeat chorus)

Stop grinnin' while you're spinnin' cause you're messin' up
You know i rap for the king who could be fillin' your cup
Enlightening lyrics can lengthen your life
Listen close, i don't boast, but illuminate christ
Don't submit my name to fame, i don't claim to be down
Cause you'll see me going up when the trumpet sounds
Call it heavenbound while you're spinnin' round
I'm saved, hear me rave, i'll be wearing' a crown
Cause i'm in the lord's army while satan's out to charm me
He won't harm me or disarm me, i know sin is gonna scar me
So i resist temptation, it comes in variation
Condemnation, devistation, you read in revelation
God is love like a dove? his wrath will be keen!
What i mean is unseen, it won't be green
Crushin' satan, perpetratin' adversaries and foe
The holy word of god says they all gotta go
You're spinnin'

(repeat chorus)

What's up, this is dc talk
This song goes out to all you people
That have no direction in life
You people that are spinnin' round
Well i got news, god has a plan for your life,
He's just waitin' for you to ask him for the map
So don't take it light
