Verse 1
My man said Sho you gotta come hard/ A wise man said you gotta come smart/ Lost in confusion I don’t know where to start/ I guess I’ll do both and just come from the heart/ Smart enough to know I gotta pray fast read/ hard enough to know I gotta hit those streets/ at the heart of the issue it aint about me/ I’m just a pawn in line trying to promote the king/ don’t claim to be a prophet but I see the end of things/ I used my own methods now the Spirit intervenes/ although I want you to jump and catch the rhythm scheme/ I want you to jump and catch the affections of Elohim/ and the son of Elohim the one true king/ we rob him of his glory by exalting the means/ and by means I mean things / things we use and do to exalt the king/ he’s GOD on the throne / high and exalted he’s GOD all alone/ it’s the LORD of host who rocks the crown/ we doing to much we need to slow it down/
Hook
Slow it down (slow down) 2x

Verse 2
My man J’s in seminary here/ been doing that seminary thing for a year/ he gets a pat on his back from his seminary peers/ but he begins to have a preliminary fear/ because he studies but he doesn’t apply/ while others do the work he’s studying why/ they do the work and he philosophies on methods and structures to make him look wise/ while guys walk the earth so wretched/ he can break down the fall of man in a second/ he doesn’t use compassion when he shares his faith/ he has a whole lot of truth but not a lot of grace/ the more I do the more the Lord is pleased/ I guess he doesn’t understand Luke 17/ Too many reading the bible not being the bible / we need a revival LORD humble us/
(Big shout to Stephen The Levite)
Verse 3
Trip Lee
Use hip hop for Him, man I got a lot of flows
The Lord’s been good man I got a lot of shows
Not to talk as if I’m hot and got a lot of dough
I’m trying to say I gotta stop and I gotta go slow
Cause you get wrapped up in rap stuff and that’s crunk
But you have to seek after the Master
No it’s not a lot of time in between all of the rhymes
To keep Him all in your mind and read His chapters but
I cant keep Him in the back of my mind
When I travel and rhyme I have to find
Ways to make sure my praise remains pure
This Kings the great Lord, so I factor time
In my days just to dive in the pages and I been
Amazed and enlightened, I’m praying and striving
That way the King stays on my mind and
I been changing and made to be like Him
Just know that my hope is to grow and now
I hope you notice that Christ is my focus pal
I do this so I can hold it down
For Jehovah I slow up and slow it down
