Sins of Omission
by Eshon Burgundy, Japhia Life

Album: Don't Shoot the Messenger

Intro: Eshon Burgundy
Yeah

Verse 1: Eshon Burgundy
I fell seven times and I got up
I was right on Mission block when it got shot up
A discrepancy between two people selling product
How did we ever obtain a blessing through this violence?
Little did we know, there was a history inside us
Bluffing when they told us we was nothin' ? they got us
Told us that the good Lord love everyone, just not us
Then we started reading for ourselves, the law and prophets
The coppers, they watch us, then lock us inside
The same kind of places where prophets reside
And it ain't no racism, these are nations at odds
The matrix of Satan, it creates this divide
I was sinnin', it was fire, I thought God would let it slide
I was burning with desire, kept my eye up on the vibe
Started out premeditated, then I did it on the fly, slightly medicated
Coveting, covered in my pride, till I elevated

Chorus: Eshon Burgundy
You know where I be at (You know, you know, you know)
Repentin' for my sin while I'm watchin the throne
And it's love where I'm free at (You know, you know, you know)
Obedience to Yah do a lot for your soul
Gotta think before you react, uh
Wisdom and faith is the life that I chose
All these little demons in life got exposed (You know, you know, you know)
Rebukin' these spirits, I like to be bold, you know
You know where I be at (You know, you know, you know)
Repentin' for my sin while I'm watchin the throne
And it's love where I'm free at (You know, you know, you know)
Obedience to Yah do a lot for your soul
Gotta think before you react, uh
Wisdom and faith is the life that I chose
All these little demons in life got exposed (You know, you know, you know)
Rebukin' these spirits, I like to be bold, you know

Verse 2: Japhia Life
?, look
My ex said she praying for me, well, I need a lot, lot, lot
It is what it is, we from the block, block, block
He got saved then they shot him, like Pac, Pac, Pac
Probably on the streets of gold like ah, ah, ah (Uh-huh, huh, huh)
Now one time for my homies that's from the project
I bet they don't even know that they Yah's yet
You can still get God if you ain't died yet
We got kids, you already know where the vibes at
Yeah, my momma said I'm a prophet
If I'm Absalom Jones, each shine is Richard Allen
Trap boys push Jaguars right through Richard Allen
Revolution televised, it should have been on Falon (One, two)
I saw Jezebel by the wishing well
Sippin' on Zinfandel, I gave her some intel
Let me guess your address, H-E-L-L
I'll send you some Holy water in the mail, well-

Chorus: Eshon Burgundy
You know where I be at (You know, you know, you know)
Repentin' for my sin while I'm watchin the throne
And it's love where I'm free at (You know, you know, you know)
Obedience to Yah do a lot for your soul
Gotta think before you react, uh
Wisdom and faith is the life that I chose
All these little demons in life got exposed (You know, you know, you know)
Rebukin' these spirits, I like to be bold, you know
You know where I be at (You know, you know, you know)
Repentin' for my sin while I'm watchin the throne
And it's love where I'm free at (You know, you know, you know)
Obedience to Yah do a lot for your soul
Gotta think before you react, uh
Wisdom and faith is the life that I chose
All these little demons in life got exposed (You know, you know, you know)
Rebukin' these spirits, I like to be bold, you know
