Reality Check... simple beat, heavenly groove, with a rundown on life in today's world w/today's lanquage
I play with the band, the4thman(see SHOUTLIFE.COM/the4thman) but here
as the owner/producer here at GODSONGS recording studio - we do all genres
of Christian
Story behind the song
I wrote these words as my take on the way things are in today's world of
sin/iniquity... Lonnie helped me set the lyrics in a nice vehicle to carry it to
the street/radio/web.
Lyrics
THE SYSTEM
"That's what I'm talking about- right there, perfect."
How long, Lord how long? Lord how long, Lord how long?
Chorus
The choice is in your hands, every person must decide
Was Jesus Christ a madman, a dreamer, or a lie
Or was He the Redeemer, the Creator, Lord of all
The question put before you dog, is will you heed His call? (2x)
Verses 1-4
Yo - all around, I know you all can feel the stress
It's a world gone mad, can make a grown man depressed
With the women in the street, another deal's going down
And the girl's on the corner, on the bad part of town
While the kids are left alone, gottem watchin the MTV
While the parents party late night, it doesn't have to be
They got my brother runnin the night, with his gang
Another drive-by shooting, somebody tell me - who's to blame?
While all day long, I'm hearing music in the air
X-rated lyrics, does anybody really care?
Drugs, sex, and violence - is the message in these songs
So it's no suprise when I see kids doing dead wrong
Yeah war, hate, greed, complete anihilation
Inside every person - there lies the realization
That their living on the edge of catastrophe
And knowin - there has to be a way out of this insanity...
CHORUS " The choice is in your hands..." (2x)
The System/continued Pg. 2
VERSES 5-
Well I'm happy to announce, and I'm please to declare
The problems we all face, doesn't have to end there
There's an answer to this riddle, I solution to this mess
If you'll listen to this rap, if you'll take down this address
No the answer's not a number, but I'll give you His name
"WHO?" Jesus the Christ, saving people's is His game !
See - doesn't need your money, He don't want it can't you see?
If your victim to the system, He just wants you to be free
Yeah money, sex, and power, people chasing the big three
Slaves to their desires, blinded from reality
Cars, clothes, and lots of jewelry, claim- you just tryin to get ahead
But without Jesus - than you're just better off dead
Man you may be rich and famous, or even down and out
But it really doesn't matter, cause it's not what it's about
It's really just a question of who your god will be
Is it Jesus or the system, man who's it gonna be?
CHORUS " The choice is in your hands..." (2x)
Fade Out...
" Blessed is the man who walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly..."
