Intro
Ayyyyy
Ayyyyy
Uhhh
Uhhhhh

Verse 1: Datin
It's kina stupid to say that it's just music
You blind if you see this crime and think there's no direct connect to it
It's clear to me that there lyrics are steering these kids down the path of destruction, they imitate what they hear and see
The trauma between em', the lie must've squeeze em'
The molly, the lean, the following this doctrine of demons
Rejecting God, and they even have been bobbing and weaving
Logic and reason, when you give them truth they dodge it and defense cause
When on the daily you take the same garbage
They brain wash us that's why we ain't conscious and remain Godless
No we don't care if all this crap we digest has lasting effects
We want to hear the soundtrack to our death but see
There is a final destination for the soul
They send you two roads, both eternal
Listen cause this is so essential
One leads to hell the other leads you to Jesus
The Son will tell you all how you can find the road to the beat of the drum

Chorus: J. Carter
Do not grow weary in doing good
The harvest is for those who don't give up
We won't, no way, we can't, no way
It's for the mantle, consequential
Essential

Verse 2: Cephas
Uhhh
Yeah we wander through your jungles
Deny your shots
From those who mumble like Mutombo
Spitting fire like your aunties ?
Saving lives, one ryhme at a time, as we climbing through the gun smoke
See if we don't go tell me who will
These labels cover up the truth cause it's too real
Violence and rape, drugs to sedate
Poppin' ink on your face, it's what it takes to ink a true deal
Nah homie, dead dat
All of your labels take a step back
And watch as we launch like a jet back
Over set backs, ghostin' thought of fear like they never got to text back
Cause the great commission is the mission
It's essential we believe we serve a God who has no limits
Cause even though the vision's big
The good work he started in us all the way from the beginning he will finish

Chorus: J. Carter
Do not grow weary in doing good
The harvest is for those who don't give up
We won't, no way, we can't, no way
It's for the mantle, consequential
Essential

Verse 3: Stefan Otto
He said, "Ooo them joints is bad like they all ?"
See how u pen it, authentic
Why you all ?, to the sovereign One
Build a legacy like David with Solomon
You give them youth the confidence to live for God and honor Him
Skillfully and willfully you father them
A generation lost with no models but these charlatans that's hollering
Obscenities, with no intent to lead, just dope and Hennessy
Felonies, objectifying women is what they selling me
But you can paint em' hope as you wield these words of life
More than skills for five mics
You rhyme to shine Christ
The truth amongst the lie, remove confusion and the gods
The illusion which they try to be, the views of our gods
So stay encouraged, keep persevering
When the path gets lonely, and the results of your work ain't a Grammy or a trophy
When your warring for the souls of men, that's vanity, stay lowly
Your role is so essential, said a fan to the OG

Chorus: J. Carter
Do not grow weary in doing good
The harvest is for those who don't give up
We won't, no way, we can't, no way
It's for the mantle, consequential
Essential
Essential
Yeah, yeah, yeahhhhhhh

Outro: Micheal Peace
Mahn, there is so many amazing, incredible Christian rappers that some people have not ever heard in the mainstream or commercially that are out there going hard for Jesus bringing the Gospel at no..... at no cost, but are paying the price if you will
For standing up for Jesus and getting in front of crowds, large and small, telling everybody that Jesus is Lord
There is none greater than the Lord Jesus Christ
And that is..... that is something that no one should ever take light of or light about.... be light about
There are many of them out there, hundreds, probably even thousands that are out there, representing Lord Jesus Christ
It is totally impossible for anyone to even believe that legitimately the holy Hip-Hop is dead
Jesus is alive and well and those of us who are representing Him, we are alive and well thus Christian Hip-Hop is alive and well....
