letra de behind bars - timothy brindle

[verse 1: muzeone]
metallic metaphors locking down once open doors
vain repetition echoing off in empty corridors
dirty floors dingy and dusty
air stale and musty
rugged as rugby
yo kid, for real, this place is ugly
curiosity drug me deeper in this heartless darkness
mind racing, wondering, “who on earth could be a part of this?”
the architect of destruction must have been a human hand
what foolish plans
who on earth would build their house on fluid sand?
ran through it and- found a cage with a man chained to the back wall
came closer and saw his face and i almost had a heart attack y’all
stepped back stalled in awe of this sight before my face
it was christ bound up mouth strapped closed with duct tape
is this a mistake- a bad joke? – if it is i ain’t laughing
thoughts and actions blasting out the (lot) to ask what’s happenin’
rapidly unchained my savior took the tape up off his mouth
asked the lord, “what happened? i can’t figure this out”
he explained to me the pain which he endured ever so patiently
faithfully facing his death in order to get this wretched building
finally after his own spirit was let go
he sn-tched the key from the owner after three days of escrow
the transaction was sealed by the mark of the holy ghost
self was cool until destruction decided to boast
lies and greed decided to hide the seed
they bump rushed violently until pride of life came took the title deed
feeding the flesh- leaving the temple looking scary b
new tenant- heresy- landlord is popularity
the lord spoke of his grand design he had in mind
his plan was kind but the building stands blind
to the simple fact that these other towers are crumbling
who need the grand architect- now i’m left wondering
one question burned, “lord what place could this be?”
he said sad, “the heart of most so called christian emcees”

[hook]
“it’s getting hard for me to ignore the spiritual part of me
that wants to hear christ and not just lyrical artistry
it’s getting hard for me to ignore the spiritual part of me
that wants to hear christ and not just lyrical artistry”

[verse 2: timothy brindle]
as muze was saying
you ain’t conveying the truth
or displaying your fruits when your music’s playing
who’s obeying?
if we’re created to worship christ
how come you never stated his purchase price
rearrange your st–z and change your thesis
some christian mc’s seem ashamed of jesus
but when you do talk principles and try to drop syllables
about god- they’re not biblical
if you saints are christian and you’re chosen and saved
why ain’t you spitting about how he rose from the grave?
on your tape is sublime
if you’re basing your rhyme on anything but his grace- you’re wasting your time
how could you not represent
what god heaven sent?
just to cop props- man stop and repent
don’t lose your crown just to prove you’re down
its sin or righteousness- there’s no neutral ground
claim we reppin’ christ just to sell records b
no we preach ’cause souls face h-ll’s treachery
do you see the comparison
man people are perishing
in your rhymes, is the word “jesus” embarrassing?
i’d rather have no fans and spit the gospel bro
than rap dope jams just to get popular
why ignore his honor?
deny christ before men and get denied before the father
we worship fervently
might as well get used to praising him now- we’ll be worshiping for eternity
running your traps- the rhymes you dealt are selfish
and some of you cats are kind of health and wealthish
not to send this hostile
but a lot of these gospel rappers don’t present
the gospel
so timothy and muze
came to bring you the news
we minister to simply lift the king of the jews

[verse 3: shai linne]
like timothy was spitting
speak what’s true- no beef with you
what’s offending me is your writtens
let’s reason together brethren
if your profession of faith is real, that means you’re going to heaven
by grace through faith in christ, we’re eternal lifers
forever we’ll be partaking in heavenly cyphas
but if i pass the mic to angelic beings
would they flip silly schemes
about how they had the illest wings?
or would they say how they used those wings to cover their feet and eyes
in the presence of jehovah el shaddai?
i should clarify- lest i be misunderstood
make sure you’re not so earthly minded that you’re no heavenly good
you say you witness with your lips- we witness with our lives for christ
it’s not either or- it’s both and to be precise
lips without life makes you a hypocrite- life without lips? a moralist
either way the lord is dissed
and i hear the chorus line
you and your supporter chime
forget boring rhymes
saying jesus’ name forty times
dawg if you said it forty million times
that wouldn’t be enough to praise the god who took you out of filth and slime
we spit our king’s message of reconciliation
you spit your message of sk!lls and affiliation
who’s your king? – you chose to speak about your pouting beats
but out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks
that’s right, you’re not a gospel mc, you’re a christian who raps
word, here’s something you can listen to, black
we’re smashing all notions
of rap and promotion
through bragging and boasting
’cause cats should know that provokes his wrath with explosion
my added devotion
passion and emotion
for my master jehovah who fashioned the ocean
got my flags in the open
