This I Pray
Nicky Gracious
4:49These Christian rappers don't flip the script Man, these boys are scared to say the name of Jesus I'ma scream His name so loud they're gonna have to turn me down Otherwise, I'ma pop the speakers You're rapping about money and drugs, and I speak about God, and I still go way harder than you You're feeding them lies, and their souls are my nerves I give them Jesus, 'cause they're starving for truth They ain't knowing it, why they sneak Verse runs around looking for another beat to murder 'Cause Rip Fam me when I rose, stand up And ain't nobody ever think that we would go no further Nicky Gracious, y'all are never gonna make it doing Jesus music? Ain't that what I heard? I feed on the scripture, then pass on the beat and now I'm not the only one eating my word They locked in that prison cell, and I was gone like Jesus disappeared from the tomb And when they found me I was in a booth with a fully loaded of Rapper was in the devil like boom, boom Hear the whispers of a thousand mystics Saying send the demons and the Persian princes gonna send them at me They gonna meet resistance 'cause I ain't scared of all locks or witches Brook Your Genesis, only make your wishes My God can see it coming from a distance You think I'm afraid of you? I got the God on my side who spoke everything into existence (no worry) Yaweh Elshaddai is my father Yeshua Hameshiyah, my big brother Nicky Gracious, in the Christian rap And got the whole rap game in big trouble 'Cause I'ma really tell you what the artist has is How he gave away your soul for a couple of bills And when the devil is done with you, in a couple of years Playing you to put the poison in the minds of the kids What are you doing with your gift? Yeah, you made a little bread, but your soul is his Why are you trying to keep it gritty? He's sucking the life from you, but you want to be a boss, so it is what it is I'm a sinner, saved, real, real big wave big wave Haters all on my page I can do nothing but pray I'm a sinner, saved, real, real big wave If there ain't enough room for Jesus I'ma even have to move me out the way (and make room) See a lot of people who are quick to judge, and I can tell by the comments they're making Point out every character flaw they could find But they're really just mad that I made it They're lashin' out at me with hate 'cause I wear a little gold and I made it Look, hate if I don't fit in more, they're gonna call me a fake And I'm going to hell if I make a mistake (for real) You know you ain't perfect 'cause you're sitting in the pews Looking at your brand-new suit and shined up shoes 'Cause when judgment comes, you're gonna be lined up too Keep hating, 'cause it happens all the time, what's new? I'ma keep on doing it for God, regardless Rip Records supplied pressure, we're going the hardest And I know that this is a gift, and I gotta remain modest Believing all the promises He made to the harvest (marvellous) And man can't even see what God does Ain't a question, I'm knowing Yeshua got us Anything I ask in his name I got it Even when my heart was sealed full of hatred and riot Scraped me off the bottom of the barrel And bought me at the cost of His own blood Look where He brought me at the top of my class And that may be being cocky, and I ain't saunty, but God taught me Destroying me and got me feeling like rocky at times I attack and punchin', the enemy drives We got to keep our guard up at all times or it costs dearly But God ain't ever lost, so the never can stop me You ain't heard of Nicky Gracious and Josh Rip? Go and look at the comments Saying if God isn't toxic People always try to put us in boxes Saying we do it for the money, a couple of slot boxes It's so obnoxious, money is just an object I've lost more than I've made if I'm being honest, but God defies logic Don't take that out of context I'm so exhausted dealing with these hypocrites Stop all the nonsense, calling us some imposters Latest center, and isn't hating all of our content Rip Records do it for the great I am, and God always knows like 2K sounds I'm a sinner, saved, real, real big wave (big wave) Haters all on my page I can do nothing but pray I'm a sinner, saved, real, real big wave If there ain't enough room for Jesus I'ma even have to move me out the way (and make room) Competition between Christian brothers? Y'all back and forth with that chit-a-chatter Miss me with that, I don't play patty cake And I ain't got no time for no pitter-patter Who's a better artist, who's a better rapper? Who's a better preacher, who's a better pastor? There's always gonna be somebody better, don't put yourself on the pedestal 'Cause heavy one make your ego shatter Looking for flattery 'cause you're feeling inadequate Only way that you can hate is if you're serving your master You won't, so you ain't never gonna pass me, even if I was last by We're not running backwards I never wanted first place in the first place I'm focused on keeping people out of the worst place I'll maybe accelerate the heavenly birth rate Bull again, go Shadi, it's your birthday I'm a sinner, saved, real, real big wave (big wave) Haters all on my page I can do nothing but pray I'm a sinner, saved, real, real big wave If there ain't enough room for Jesus I'ma even have to move me out the way (move me out the way) I'm a sinner, saved, real, real big wave (big wave) Haters all on my page I can do nothing but pray I'm a sinner, saved, real, real big wave If there ain't enough room for Jesus I'ma even have to move me out the way (and make room)
