Rise Up by The Cross Movement Lyrics

Genre: rap | Year: 2003

CHORUS: We gon live this life, we gon live it right / not just talk it but walk it cause we gon live for Christ / we gon hold it down, stone cold, hold our ground, all my soldiers rise up, spark the Holy Culture, blaww! (2X)

VERSE 1: You know the squad is a collection of artists blessing our God regardless of the fact we're engulfed in this godless / world that's spiritual broke like when folks are jobless / no spiritual ear like when corn is cobless / no spiritual sight, no optics / no wonder spiritual life is hard to grasp like rice with chopsticks / we need our heart fixed, pull out the heart-kit / if change is gonna come then God has to spark it / we dont need another material object, we need to be re-plugged back in to God, He's the Socket / we'll mediate on His law but won't exhuast it / God'll take a heart and carve it like Boston Market /

VERSE 2: Sin kills like arsenic / God is pure / but some can't stomach His cure like when you're car sick / Dead right you need a headlight you're headed for darkness / Get Christ---you get life---you're dead as a carcass / We're tellin' men that your sins are red as a carpet / He won't just won't forgive you He'll turn your debt into profit / You need to sweat Him and let Him get in the cockpit / Halt the co-pilot talk / you need to stop it / Man, you ain't in a Benz / you're in the rocket / Life's to heavy for you / you men will drop it / We saw fit / to take His path and walk it / Was on a high horse but / got kicked right off it / Fought with / Christ but we were forced to forfeit / Had a towel but / we were forced to toss it / Had ego but / thank God we lossed it / Sin's signal was strong but thank God He crossed it

VERSE 3: Oh what a sight now / we're livin right now / Use the skills / until / we put the mic down / Check it yo cause the flow / is like a nightgown / Rep Christ for life / so you know we got the right sound / And though the world is godless we thank God that God has called us / From being ballers and players and pimps and alcoholics / Times are hard / but even still / we must run our hardest / Run like Forrest with a limp / but we run regardless / For His glory we wanna be the flyest artists but because of what are vocals be socially we may die as martyrs / Might have to take flight and say our Sayonara's / But that's alright we're meeting Christ in the sky tomorrow / So no more weed in us / or Hennessey in us / We've been freed / indeed / We got His Seed in us / So while you're tea-sing us / He's gonna pre-sent us / Faultless and blameless because He died for these sinners
