Gah Ta Be

I'm dc talk and i'd like to say
I rock the mic in a kickin' way
With the def track from valet beat
I know it's hard to keep from movin' your feet
So hyper fundi don't be dismayed
Check out the lyrics when the record is played
Not a borderline tune but i got a case
Of puttin' god's word right up in your face
You see d's for decent, and you will agree
Quite explicit yet rated g
Because i rhyme hard, and i speak facts
And there's no need to curse when i bust a rap
And c for christian, 'cause that's what i am
Not a soft sissy, i know how to jam
Pack a party for the father above
Intense rhymes tell of ultimate love
Talk is for the lyrics, they're full of spirit
If you are athiestic, you'd better fear it
They're from the word, you ain't heard
It's my decision that your vision is blurred
So come on rap fans, clap your hands
Take a stand for the lamb, it's time ta jam
And remember... keep praisin' the lord, keep servin' the lord

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

Jesus loves me this i know
For the bible tells me so
All of us to him belong
We are so weak, but our god, he is strong

As i sit and ponder i begin to wonder why
God would send his only son upon this earth to die
The conviction of my heart brings a tear to my eye
And keep reality far from me, i just want to hide
Christ endured such cruelty for a sinner like me
He paid the price when he died for me on calvary's tree
I once was blind, but now my eyes clearly see
The sacrifice christ became for you and me
Because jesus loves me, this i know
For the word of god tells me so
All of us to him belong, it's true
That we are weak, yet he is strong

(chorus)
Yes, jesus loves me
Yes, jesus loves me
Yes, jesus loves me
For the bible tells me so

He will stand by like no other man
Two sets of footprints within the sand
But at times looking back one is all i see
These are the days that he carried me
He has proven his love time and again
Pulled me from the fire, a result of my sin
Compare where i am now to where i might have been
Get on my knees just to praise him again and again
Thank you for loving me, it's undeserved
It doesn't make sense, i mean the picture is blurred
I'm the one that owes the debt, but you paid my price
Now jesus christ, i owe you my life

(repeat chorus)

Now that i can see it, will the life i lead change
It's kinda strange we make decisions
When they're out of our range
But in day to day living, we tend to give up
On commitments that were made before life got tough
With compromise in our eyes and pressure from peers
We renig on a decision that we once held so dear
But let's try keep sight of this vision foreseen
Hold tight day and night beyond the point of a dream
Because jesus loves me, this i know
For the word of god it tells me so
Everyone of us to him belong, it's true
We are so weak, yet he is so strong

(repeat chorus)
