4. Who's Da Man - The Cross Movement
Heaven's Mentality (1997)
Prelude:
We just want to thoroughly saturate areas with the reality of God / I mean the transcendent God—the God that’s far above and beyond / not the little guy in a frame but you know eternal Father on the throne / we want to stress the preeminence of Christ Jesus the God-Man //
Intro:
It’s been said that you can’t be so heavenly minded that you’re of no earthly good / yeah well I’d like to present to some and introduce to others the Lord Jesus the Christ / the epitome of being heavenly minded and of earthly good / you know what I’m saying? / now you tell me who’s da man? //
Verse 1:
Check the verse / there’s been a reverse in the universe / it’s God verses human nature / Creator verses created / who made it and who got mated / was Jesus God-incarnated or man-imaginated? / God said He made the earth just by speaking of us sleeping / even still He took the time to chill just over the weekend / man’s says get the reason be a part of the upper class / but God can still move to the microphone with the jawbone of an ass (Judges 15) / using the foolish things of the world to confound the things of the wiseman / look as I run this race and go for the trophy like it was a Heisman / man says God is dead but even still man dies / Jesus Christ still lives so evidently man lies / tell me who’s da man with the world in His hand is there any? / can he tango with the blood of the Lamb? / can you speak to the sun and make it rise and in the evening speak again and tell the sun get out the sky? / can you count the grains of sand on the beach or seashore knowing everything ever taught by your teacher? / but still this world is yours so you say pal knowing you can go and catch a bullet any day now / but kill me and you’ll see that Jesus will still be Lord of lords always was plus He always will be / really feel the repercussion of His mighty hand / Jesus Christ wasn’t man-made He made man //
Verse 2:
Foolish man / they wanna brand my God generic but then they label His word esoteric / no one here can get with the shed blood that Crips can’t even bang with / they nailed Him to the cross and there He hung but none can hang with / the Language Starter / Universe Holder in the palm of His hand / He’s even got a method to the madness / all planned—I stand corrected / all because Christ has resurrected / check out the Phanatik breaking it down like phonetics / I’m out of this world without the use of telekinetics / giving credit where it's due to the risen / long-living sin forgiving / all hail the Throne Dweller who doeth all things well / tell the press this is what the sovereign Lord says / outside of Christ your're outside of the Fortress / His world was born before you said your first verse / surley He gets glory or the curse just gets worse / this is His earth / I’m a witness to that fact / I’m with this plus I’m black / thanks to Christ my spiritual fitness is intact / in fact His tactics need no practice / the time to rehearse / from birth to the hearse Christ is da Man //
Verse 3:
Draw back the curtain / planet earth is hurting for some answers / they walking in darkness with no lights in they lanterns / I bring the words of life with a style deadly like venom / representing heaven in some boots and baggy denim / I get in em cause I’m plugged into that Outlet from on high / born and die to live again so when this world has gone by / I’m online like a mainframe you know His name is Jesus / self maintained nothing to lose and all to gain / you’ll believe us when you see Him / everybody wants to be Him / God and man at the same time thinking that they don’t with their lame rhyme / who spoke and provoked light to appear? / who can go from right here to there in a light-year? / I thought so don’t let me have to dig all in your torso / and come out with your heart just to prove that you’re still mortal / man ain’t God / God is God for infinity / bless the Trinity / catch me rolling with the infantry / cause He’s into me I’ll be changed instantly / all praise to the Ancient of Days is how it’s meant to be / guess who bless you? put His breath in you? / Christ is the only right one on the menu / them who say He’s not ain’t got a clear view / He’ll still be King of everything when we’re through / so where do you stand when it comes to the blood of the Lamb? / I AM that I AM //
