Reverend Run Sermon Lyrics - Singles - Flesh-n-bone

[Reverend Run] 

Now I said, now here this 

Thus sayesth the Lord God 

And I believe, a lot of us 

Shouldn't even condemn these rappers 

Because if nobody would ah told me about God 

People would ah been 

The church folks would ah been 

Talkin bad about me 

I believe we gon' have people like 

Rev. Snoop Doggy Dogg up here soon 

We gon' have Rev. 2Pac 

These brothaz need your encouragement 

They do not need you to pull them down 

I don't believe in bashin these people 

That are out there on the street 

I believe in encouraging them 

I believe in bringin'em in 

Because if nobody would ah helped me 

I'd been messed up 

Do unto others as you would want done to you 

If you see ya brothaz and sista out there 

On the street 

And you know they back slittin 

Don't just go tell sista so-and-so 

You heard what happened on that child 

Go and get her 

Bring her in, and this is the reason you seen her 

'cause God wants you to go and get her 

God wants you to love your brothaz and sistaz 

Dis is not a game of hurtin each other 

It's a game of helpin each other 

You got to help one another 

You got to love one another 

You got to respect on another 

We have such a crab mentality these days 

You see somebody comin to the top ah the brow 

You wanna pull'em down 

But I believe we should help on another 

I'm tellin ya right now, saints 

I've given you my heart today 

I'm lettin you know all the secret things that happened to me 

It's not easy for to come out here and talk about 

The things that happened in the past 

But I want you to know somethin 

That God has completely turned my life around 

Let everyone stand 

Give the Lord a hand clap 

Praise the Lord
