[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]

[02:33.17]It's time to it's time to
[02:34.42]Come on put yours hands up
