4 Minute Sermons - Prologue II

Third part of the trilogy they usually flop
But I am the exception you will agree when it drops
Call ya boy UPS why? All i do is deliver
I worship with the saved and I preach to the sinner

The final chapter of a book that talks about sin
I hear the voices in my head they talking again
Like "whatchu think you doing?" Ah shutup!
I got what it takes and I take what I make
I don't think you understand this mine for taken!

But I also like playin
Playin with what I'm saying
What I say is wordplay when
I am in the mood for playin
Some people choose to complain when
I just bow my head and start praying
I don't wanna get to the end and fail what am I? Moses with Canaan

Nah I am one of the chosen I'm taken
It's not bogus to claim it
Servant of the king my enemy is Satan
The term for me is rapper
But I am confused
Like rapper for a gift?
If that is the case
Then this song is for you

Ima do what I'm called to do
What? not what you excepted?
Listen to me long enough
You'll have a new perspective
People ask "hey Markus would you ever sign to a label"
I tell um "why would go and sit at my enemies table"
Me and the fan base out here repping like marine core
We the few and the proud shouting out we can be more
I'm complicated I don't do it for the views but my view is
That Christian music shouldn't just be gospel music
I'm hear to change the culture of the genre
Hip hop and not rap
You may be asking what the heck is the difference
Well the difference is that
Hip hop is a culture
And rap is versus that are put on a track
I'm not gonna hate a genre just cause it's got dirt in the cracks
I'm gonna take the genre to the water and give it a bath
I don't except everyone to respect it
I expect everybody to look at the facts
Look at the acts of the book of acts it's a book of the past
It taught the spirit is as important as lyrics of the rap
Even Paul went into mars hill and understood the culture
He spoke as they did, and changed the culture but not the message
He knew the mission - it was from that chapter that I got a vision
Of being a rapper this is the vision that have for rap

You may not agree with me - or maybe even my interpretation
But at least that I'm a man that - believes what I say
See when they get to the industry they begin to change
But I'm here to give a promise that if I make it I will be the same
The new era of my life
Is a life where nothing's perfect
Fear still comes around
Just not near as often
I can make her pack her bags
but I can't make her stop talking
Hope has imprisoned her with a sentence where parole's no option
I try to block her
All the sudden I see the cell block when
I realize that everything I just said was not me but fear talking
Now I see why everyone gives me that look when I walk in
If I had a sign on my shirt it would say proceed with caution!

I've been adopted
But I feel like if I died today I would just be forgotten
Don't think for a second that it's easy dropping my life story
These songs ain't for the lives shows I didn't buy my Mic for performing
I bought it for the car rides so late at night it's morning
I pray the God will help me to help you to grow strong
But I kinna feel like this is a lost cause
What's going on?
What's going wrong?
This is prologue this was suppose to be a hope song
I think ima cut the track short before all my hopes gone
The more albums you make - the more it gets tricky
The more albums i make - the more i get picky
If you have a different outlook
I promise I will not look at you differently
I'm a Christian called to love you
Even if me and you on a different team

The Cure was the start of something I'll be doing for life
Its a blur looking back to that mental asylum every night
I still wake up sometimes with cold chills ready to fight
I'm not saying I'm out of it but I see under the door there's a light
