Deny Yourself Rap
This is a rap I wrote to describe what I have learned and researched about living your life in denial of yourself, and in consecration to God.
LYRICS TO RAP
The Red letters in my Bible tell me something that might be a little hard to do
But its gonna be like horse and glue
To get the product that you want you gotta give yo’ self
You can’t just sit on the shelf, no, the horse had to give itself, you know me, I gotta give myself.
I aint talkin’ bout the Wal-mart brand, I’m talkin bout the Elmers
Peter went along with them and gave into the fella’s
He denied JC not 2 times, but 3
The same way, I must deny everything inside of me—I must deny everything in me.
You wanna gain the whole world and not lose yo’ soul?
You better think twice about that one homes, you know, you know
You gotta lose the whole
Jesus aint a liar and this aint no myth
Your soul is like a battleground for the Jedi and the Sith, you know, you know
On that one Good Friday when Jesus died for us all,
He was beaten and bruised because of Adam’s fall
The crown of thorns on his brow, the nail pierced hands
We too must be ready to be forsaken by the lands, the lands
A radical call is what I’m talkin about
Just like the disciples, God shouldn’t have to scream and shout
Just a simple word to, “Come and follow me”
Should have us movin’ like we’re bowling on the Wii
You wanna gain the whole world and not lose yo’ soul?
You better think twice about that one homes, you know, you know
You gotta lose the whole
Jesus aint a liar and this aint no myth
Your soul is like a battleground for the Jedi and the Sith, you know, you know
Living for Christ is about living for others
There aint no blood connection, but you still my sista and my brotha
You my brotha from anotha motha
Ya see, my time is not my own,
It belongs to the one up there on the throne.
Service is what Jesus was all about,
And that’s what I give my life to without a doubt
One day we’re all gonna be caught up in eternity.
And Jesus will ask us, “To who did we give our loyalty?”
You wanna gain the whole world and not lose yo’ soul?
You better think twice about that one homes, you know, you know
You gotta lose the whole
Jesus aint a liar and this aint no myth
Your soul is like a battleground for the Jedi and the Sith, you know, you know
