| [00:12.47] | Let me tell you how this all came to be |
| [00:14.99] | I was sittin' diggin' in the word Matthew 23 |
| [00:17.81] | I'm thinking this is it finally victory |
| [00:20.38] | Then the Holy Spirit hit quick convicted me |
| [00:23.36] | |
| [00:24.09] | Could it be it's just all hypocrisy |
| [00:26.17] | |
| [00:26.79] | I'm a modern day pharisee quite possibly |
| [00:29.18] | |
| [00:30.02] | Tell me what's the use if I know the law |
| [00:33.06] | But the true living God I never knew at all |
| [00:35.52] | |
| [00:36.72] | I got to practice what I preach |
| [00:38.36] | |
| [00:39.00] | It don't matter what I'm saying on these beats |
| [00:41.20] | |
| [00:41.89] | In the church or when I'm on the streets |
| [00:44.55] | Tell me what's the use if I don't practice what I preach |
| [00:47.62] | If that's the case I should expect the worst |
| [00:49.90] | |
| [00:50.45] | No surprise why the word would reject the church |
| [00:52.99] | |
| [00:53.59] | I mean why would you respect my turf |
| [00:56.33] | If I don't comply myself and resect it first |
| [00:58.93] | |
| [00:59.65] | Brothers and sisters in Christ this is a wake up call |
| [01:02.41] | To myself included I can relate to y'all |
| [01:05.02] | |
| [01:05.53] | Right now is the time I got to start living it |
| [01:08.04] | |
| [01:08.56] | The last thing I want to be is a hypocrite |
| [01:11.19] | |
| [01:12.29] | I got to practice what I preach |
| [01:13.79] | |
| [01:14.57] | It don't matter what I'm saying on these beats |
| [01:16.42] | |
| [01:17.46] | In the church or when I'm on the streets |
| [01:20.13] | Tell me what's the use if |
| [01:21.50] | I don't practice what I preach |
| [01:22.86] | |
| [01:23.44] | Make no mistakes it's a must that I be honest y'all |
| [01:26.44] | What's in the dark shall come to |
| [01:27.75] | Light that's a promise y'all |
| [01:29.30] | I know what someone say it |
| [01:30.53] | Ain't no surprise to me |
| [01:31.70] | |
| [01:32.32] | "I ain't a Christian so none of this applies to me" |
| [01:34.89] | |
| [01:35.49] | Indeed that's why off and from the start |
| [01:37.92] | I sincerely pray THE LORD will soften up your heart |
| [01:40.78] | Until then beware of any false prophets |
| [01:43.06] | |
| [01:43.65] | Vicious wolves disguised as sheep |
| [01:45.82] | That look harmless |
| [01:46.46] | |
| [01:47.08] | Don't be fooled before you follow suit |
| [01:49.82] | I mean really take a look and recognize |
| [01:51.39] | Them by their fruit |
| [01:52.30] | |
| [01:52.82] | The good news is even as I'm writing this |
| [01:55.85] | I realize only faith brings forth righteousness |
| [01:58.17] | |
| [01:58.88] | Yet I can't neglect how I live and behave |
| [02:01.30] | Cause faith without works will only |
| [02:02.96] | End up in the grave |
| [02:03.97] | |
| [02:04.90] | Right nows the time we got to start living it |
| [02:07.19] | |
| [02:07.75] | The last the you want to be is a hypocrite |
| [02:10.18] | |
| [02:11.69] | We got to practice what I preach |
| [02:13.06] | |
| [02:14.39] | We got to practice what I preach |
| [02:16.13] | |
| [02:16.83] | In the church or when I'm on the streets |
| [02:18.73] | |
| [02:19.36] | Tell me what's the use if |
| [02:20.48] | I don't practice what I preach |
| [02:22.30] | Come on put yours hands up if you got to stand |
| [02:24.60] | |
| [02:25.40] | This hypocrisy it's got to stop it's time to man up |
| [02:28.37] | |
| [02:30.91] | I said this hypocrisy it's got to stop |
| [02:33.17] | It's time to it's time to |
| [02:34.42] | Come on put yours hands up |
| [02:35.55] | If you got to stand up |
| [02:37.29] | This hypocrisy it's got to stop it's time to man up |
| [02:39.67] | |
| [02:42.81] | I said this hypocrisy it's got to stop it's time to time |
