Текст песни Nip it in the Bud - Allen Thomas

That sin that so easily entangles you on this walk of faith, it trips you up, you gotta cut ties, man

You gotta stop before it starts to grow
Don't want sin to become a part of your soul
Keep a close eye to where your soul ties
If it ain't for Christ then it ain't for life
Just quit it, don't wait another minute
You won't catch us slipping, gotta nip it, nip it, nip it
Who you keeping in your company, nip it in the bud
Don't end up with a bunch of weeds, nip it in the bud

It all happened so suddenly
Subtly I was fumbling with enough grief to cover me
Didn't want no one to see, how he humbled me
Sunken deep to the floor, felt like I was underneath
That's the aftermath, sin is cool 'til the latter half
Best to play by all the rules included in the master plan
Hits keep coming back to back, visions like a cataract
Only light can change this dark, camera flash
We got to nip it, talking about the sin within
Many men living wickedly ignorant, it's ridiculous
Caught up in busyness, forgetting their witnesses, and mission is to build up these heavenly citizens, huh
We got to nip it, before we become victims
The enemies precision brings division, you better listen
If you don't live in the scriptures, you'll never feel conviction
Making it simple for the devil and his minions to finish him

You gotta stop before it starts to grow
Don't want sin to become a part of your soul
Keep a close eye to where your soul ties
If it ain't for Christ then it ain't for life
Just quit it, don't wait another minute
You won't catch us slipping, gotta nip it, nip it, nip it
Who you keeping in your company, nip it in the bud
Don't end up with a bunch of weeds, nip it in the bud

Devil been trying to divide by spewing lies to ruin lives
That's why you and I need to unite, and be unified when disputes arise
He'll skew the lines to the human eyes, that's why we gotta be choosing life
Soon to die, no suicide, but boy I'm bout to lose my mind!
They trying to lift demands on the food supply
Striving to lift my hands high to the crucified
It's time that Christians take a stand and we neutralize
When you see the lies expand, we 'bout to prune the vines
We got to nip it, every branch that bears no fruit
Word of God gripping in my hand, homie where's your tool?
You can talk all you want, but dude we ain't scared of you
Apply the truth, then we cut 'em off at the root
We got to nip it, I'm Popeye with the spinach
Grab your shears boy, we finna get it
We got to nip it, like Barney Fife from Andy Griffith
We gotta nip it, nip it, nip it, nip it, aye!

You gotta stop before it starts to grow
Don't want sin to become a part of your soul
Keep a close eye to where your soul ties
If it ain't for Christ then it ain't for life
Just quit it, don't wait another minute
You won't catch us slipping, gotta nip it, nip it, nip it
Who you keeping in your company, nip it in the bud
Don't end up with a bunch of weeds, nip it in the bud
