[00:13.701]A man who has the ability and the audacity
[00:18.321]and the…of god to stand up, to stand up
[00:20.922]
[00:23.206]Heard the sound of the trumpets, the voice from the throne
[00:25.658]Seen the twenty - four elders and I knew I was home
[00:28.157]I was told to write songs for the people
[00:30.642]Take the original Hebrews on an exodus of black excellence
[00:34.245]Tell them to invest in us and make testaments about each other
[00:36.813]Or how we sisters and brothers

[01:11.306]And your lyrics use scriptures and passages
[01:13.624]To make them rise like Lazarus
[01:15.841]And resurrected again, they'll put disrespect on your name and respect it again
[01:19.561]Every section you in, bless em and keep bussin'
[01:22.664]If they don't like it, shake the dust and say 'fk em'
[01:25.080]Until you get home, I'm the one you trust in
