Merely A Glimpse
Chorus
The Saints reign in the city of sin
Try and wash away the pain and let his grace fill it in
Street Gospel reacting to my residents
Jesus paid the price through death benefits
It’s the return of the wordsmith hip hop juggernaut
Leave you hanging on (my) every word like a slipknot
Who shot ya I miss the 90’s street songs
Back alley psyfers and dre before detox
Locked and loaded spitting heat from the inner soul
Rap intuition rose degrees melted winter poles
Holding down position in the army of the Lord
True to life (soldier) similes and metaphors
Swore by the sinner’s prayer to follow in his footprints
King of all the land just exalted him a wordsmith
Bound by blood rapping for a purpose
Deep within his verses to barely scratch the surface
I’m fired up this is praise on adrenaline
Rap is lacking heart like Dorothy with her metal man
Keep peddling your soul for them dollar bills
Devils dogs tell me how them collars feel
Chorus
The Saints reign in the city of sin
Try and wash away the pain and let his grace fill it in
Street Gospel reacting to my residents
Jesus paid the price through death benefits
Vocab heavyweight (shadow) boxing in the mirror
Thrilla ain’t manila color coordinates crystal clear
Love thy neighbor flavor flave no public enemies
Got a leg up on most rappers (yeah) like a cenepede
This ain’t a pipe dream it’s a God send
1 in 4 listeners will be ending up at odds end
Play it back rewind the punch line
My food for thought plots got mindsets on lunchtime
God inspired lyrics never used a rhyming dictionary
Pulled me from the fire to (re)create this music missionary
He’s the visionary I’m the instrument
The profound sound of his symphonies are infinite
Figurative imagery vivid in emotion
Line for line design causing bleeding heart corrosion
True devotion living for my witnessing
Purpose filled life eternalized my sentencing
Chorus
The Saints reign in the city of sin
Try and wash away the pain and let his grace fill it in
Street Gospel reacting to my residents
Jesus paid the price through death benefits
