lyrics

VERSE ONE: Some are living for the cause/ Others are living for the pause/ At the end of the week/ Where they drink ‘till they can hardly speak/ Breathe airborne deceit/ And spit lunch meat over the toilet seat/ Its real!/ Pero yo aprovecho del momento/ Porque Diós debe estar en el centro/ De mi corazón por ejemplo/ Y cómo Pablo en la carta/ Es cierto, estoy en mi salsa/ Solo hace falta que salves tú alma/ Por ésta espiritual alarma/ Mi arma de fuego/ Y te ruego, que no te portes cómo y ciego/ Profetas locos, somos paisanos del cielo/ Y no lo niego, aúnque sufra algún tipo de riesgo/ Mi corazón lo entrego/ Pero miráte bién el tuyo cómo un reflejo/ Y con eso te impregno y te dejo.

CHORUS: I rep the Son ‘cause he took the blame/ I’d rather live my life than to walk in shame/ I’d rather live for Christ than to die for fame/ I refuse to be the same ‘cause I live for change.

VERSE TWO: I look through this window pane/ And see so much pain/ I realize I could never complain/ But I swear my cheek’s been marked with a tear stain/ That’s just trangressions and learnt lessons/ Missed blessings and natural depressions/ Nothing really out of the norm/ Just something quintessential to my physical form/ And essential to my spiritual storm/ Perhaps safety sedates me/ Like chloroform its gaseous/ Sometimes my mind’s void and spacious/ I keep my body within limits like homeostasis/ I’m not square, I’m more curvaceous/ That is, personality rounded/ To leave a whole crown astounded/ God keeps me grounded/ To fly when the trumpet’s sounded/ No shame for the one he’s saved/ But philistine run for the caves!/ You know, the one who stacks notes like bars and staves/ But Shakespeare describes as ‘rogues and naves’/ Who chills less at church than he does as raves/ Its some infestation/ In our modern generation/ To thrive more on probation/ Than it does on liberation/ They’d rather hide identity like Anastasia/ If the Nazis would have won we’d be living in Caucasia/ This rhyme’s going deep like Australasia/ But it still hits you like Darth Vader with a phaser!
