Brotherhood
Verse 1 (Wes):
...two heads are better than one
And two heads make a church and turn the head into one
We live with divine mystery in the presence
And it's evident that brothers'll build you up through the negligence
The evidence is here, can't do it on your own
Try to kick it, I bet that you goin' lose without a goal
That's why I killed flesh, and grew up with my brothers
Puttin' sin to death, and do it for each other
When a man falls, we there to pick him up
And with the Lord's grace, we there to lift him up
The same goes for all, Lil Pookie and Jamal
First you gotta' crawl, then you gotta walk
Church is through us, and not the four walls
No limited atonement, he died for us all
That's a tale tall, I mean a tall tale
We here to save Molly and not put her on a raw scale
Excerpt:
Sometimes, we find ourselves elevated onto another echelon, another realm of success, yet we leave our friends and family behind. In midst of our brotherhood, we've forgotten our brothers in the hood, amen? Let's be the light of Christ to free our neighbor from the trap, from the oppressions, and from all the vices in our environments, showing them all things can be done through Jesus Christ
Verse 2 (DAX):
(Man, I never) knew my brothers would support me in this way
(We stay) overcoming obstacles, maturing in the faith, ride or
Die until the day, filled with life because we're saved, because
Lazarus was living even when inside the grave
"Preach it brotha'!" I'm just saying... we must believe we'll see to
Say it 'ready came... God's the controller, runs the
System, he ain't playing... get on my level, got his
Wisdom in my brain, so DAX's killing the game
For the family, because we're all related through the blood
And one time for Raisi K, that's my brother, showing love
Watch it rain down from above, dirt is turning into mud
Because the Ark was really Jesus who would rise above the flood
(So I'm) above the influence, with my brothers, through the strife
More than conquerors in Christ, battle scars gone through his stripes
Rolling with us like we dice, chop the beat up: cut and slice
Paid the price: he went down to hell; retrieved the keys of life
Excerpt:
We have to understand: brotherhood does not exclude our sisters in Christ - we're all one body, the body, the church as the bible puts it. There should be no discrimination or hate amongst brothers, amongst believers - only honest and genuine love because the church isn't the building, it's the brothers in arms, through the blood of the Messiah. It's time for the family to stand!
Verse 3 (Pop):
"WE FIGHT" Until he blow the trumpets
His word must travel planet earth circumference
We are called his body so set aside the nonsense
Cause I'm content with being the hair under the arm pits
But bro do you remember
No matter how shameful I am, I am a member
I know you hear the word although I'm lacking the tenor
Don't confuse this Christian rap with that rap of a sinner
We're together in these trenches
And if we all bond I bet we bear interest
But please don't lack to mention
I'm not sacrificing truth I'm just killing all distinction
And our Lord prayed for us
He prayed we would be one
Never sacrifice the truth nah
Just let His will be done
Bridge:
Fighting for each other, today we siege the line
And we'll suppress the horrors, the peace we'll always find
To our fallen brothers, to those we leave behind
We'll keep on pressing forward, we'll meet another time
