Preach

In the past, I've brought up disrespectful
Comments made about my music and my faith
It's time to address them

Oh my gosh, this is Lorenzo but I talk about God again?

Well there aren't a lot of people
Around here that will, so I guess I am
There are a bunch of folks who lie about

Him, but the man who rapped until he died
Why does he rap about drugs and money then look
At me funny when I talk about the man in the sky?

Several people all know the same name when we
Play songs about turn up (turn up, turn up)
The people who are teens are pretty much
Departing and putting lean in their cup
They're all stoked to do anything to get the guap
And there's a thug rapper who's trying to be like Tupac
Am I the one who thinks this should be stopped?
'Cause I'm the most tired of people getting shot
So if I remember correctly, if I talk
About God then my record won't get played

And people won't listen to me anyways
Because I don't brag about getting laid
That's not important 'cause I wanna see souls saved
People need to know that Christ died and was raised
So the penalty of their sins have been paid
We just need to trust God and rebuke the evil ways

But unfortunately, there are people with no sanity
Who are following Christianity
And rather than glorifying morality
Instead of taking it to the last one who died for humanity
They can't stand feeling their vanity
As a result of social anatomy
Which is why I must demand another plan of B
And become a music missionary

A lot of these people gon' hate me (yeah, yeah)
But it really doesn't matter to me
That I'm unashamed of my faith (you know it)
And I gotta talk about God which means you know I gotta
Preach, preach, preach, preach, preach, preach, preach
You know I gotta preach, preach, preach
Preach, preach, preach, preach, preach

Lorenzo, why are you always so full of visions and have a throat?
All I hear about is God and it's really starting to make me choke
Why can't you be like them other rappers
Who like to drink and party with sluts?

You must be delirious, you can't be
Serious, this must be some kind of a joke
I can't go a single day walking through the hallways
Without hearing somebody screaming the F-bomb
Followed by a disrespectful comment which was a
Woman that deserves a big ol' slap from your mom

Now people are considered cool when they're
Humming about cigarettes, weed, and prawns
And have unprotected premarital sex when your math test is going on

Do you see God anywhere in this picture? Because honestly I don't
It seems pretty evident to me that this is
A scene being shoved down people's throats
Apparently I shouldn't talk about Jesus during
School because somebody might take Him offensively
But it's perfectly okay for the students and
The teachers to practice the use of profanity

I'm an outside during an anomaly
Go to the tease me and run to the posse
I don't need a Bud Light to party
The Holy Spirit can knock you down just like that molly
I don't know what school you're going to
But it's me I'm going to hear the ungodly
As long as people promote the devil's policies
I'm gonna talk about God and you can't stop me

A lot of these people gon' hate me (yeah, yeah)
But it really doesn't matter to me
That I'm unashamed of my faith (you know it)
And I gotta talk about God which means you know I gotta
Preach, preach, preach, preach, preach, preach, preach
You know I gotta preach, preach, preach
Preach, preach, preach, preach, preach

A lot of people will not listen

They don't want to feel conviction
Pray the Lord will clear their vision
Bless their lives with godly wisdom
Some people don't like my mission
Sin leaves them in opposition
I'm part of the great commission
Preach His word in all the nations
A lot of people will not listen

They don't want to feel conviction
Pray the Lord will clear their vision
Bless their lives with godly wisdom
Some people don't like my mission
Sin leaves them in opposition
I'm part of the great commission
Preach His word in all the nations

A lot of these people gon' hate me (yeah, yeah)
But it really doesn't matter to me
That I'm unashamed of my faith (you know it)
And I gotta talk about God which means you know I gotta
Preach, preach, preach, preach, preach, preach, preach
You know I gotta preach, preach, preach
Preach, preach, preach, preach, preach
