lyrics

(channel)
When I talk bout the bible
Homie this how I feel
Love the Word wouldn’t
Trade it for a half a bill(ion)
I know He reached down
And He saved me
When I was wearing my
Own crown screaming praise me
Wanted the latest fashion
Yeah I wanted fame
Bout that cash money
Drake and Wayne
But something changed
When I was in my teens
Took my flesh to the altar
Guillotine
Gimme Jesus or give me death haa
Come I’mma starve without food
From my chef haa
Feast in His Words do it everyday
He’s my food network Rachel Raye

(tha messenger)
The Bread of Life got me
seeking what I now implore
Divorced from this world I
found joy in what I now endorse
I spit Truth in this system
that I’m passing through
Evangelist breakthroughs
bars over beats in the booth
The God crew gotta
get em ‘fore they decay
Entrusting this to faithful men
Run in it like a relay
They screaming blasphemy
cause they say its
just good literature
No Faith to believe it
gotta see it like a cinema
Excuse me while I spit atcha
Nope can’t keep my mouth closed
Treasures found deep in the Book
You can keep your pot of gold
All of that gone stay behind
Pray these dudes don’t die hard
Hid His Word down in my heart
That I might not sin
against the Lord yeah

(channel)
Where I’m from money
is what we live for
Nice cars and pretty girls Gilmore
And they’ll kill for a
pair of Jordan shoes
Product of our environment
Raised from some tainted views
Now I see life from the
bible I got new dreams
I’m not a slave to my
fashion I got a new King
His Words I treasure
want em at all cost
Consider my time in
the scriptures at no loss
But much gain when
I value His Name
And my whole life is bout
giving it proper fame
Jesus I’m in at all measure
It’s your Word in my heart
That is my greatest treasure
