Gospel Rap: Parables chords by Grits
Verse 1
Am
When it started we was down by,
church fallacy as time went by
We took on the appearance of being fit,
but in reality we're not
We're still trapped in the shallow
mentality of gospel rap
G
These are the secrets of life,
Am
to some reveal remain
G
Hidden so that all understand,
Am
the truth concealed
G
So we journey dropping theories of
Christ, grammatically
Am
G
To awaken those who sleep,
through lyrical caffeination
Am
G
Bonafide creations bore fruit,
C
Am
through verbal knowledge
G
As the apparatus of seeds
Am
on good soil had fallen
But callings of yes,
G
Am
y 'all into the beat started to fade
Ascending, approaching death,
G
Am
as the roots reached the pavement
Disciples of
G
Christ's teachings took surface,
blooming in seasons
Am
But autumn sparked suffocation,
G
Am
influenced by niggas weeded
C
Duplicated illustrations,
G
took form as gospel dangers
C
Am
G
Ex ploited and victimized by
industry files of waging
Am
C
G
Anxiously I see emcees bear
Am
fruit to be collected
Took root, underground,
G
Am
as rats funneled through tunnels
G
Am
Direction, emerging surface,
G
submerged within the harvest
Am
G
Manifested by seeds of
another that was infested
Am
C
G
Unlike the rest, through the rain
Am
and cold we stood the test
First ten and twenty,
G
then a hundred fold less
Am
G
C
G
In this, well pleased, so on the
Sabbath they will rest
C
Am
G
Six days, five seeds,
prophecy is manifest
Am
G
Am
Motivated by what's being illustrated
G
Am
By those who talk loud,
G
thereby bringing distortion
Am
G
To both my optical and audio senses
Am
Which are responsible
for the mirage of skill
G
Am
You still tryin' to keep real,
C
so I'm here to connect
G
Am
You laid or changed the
course of these events
To guide you toward the demise
G
Am
of your pretense
Therefore my strategic positioning
G
Am
for this offensive attack
Is fueled by your burning
Em
Am
desire for being whack
So how you react to this po
G
Am
G
tentially volatile situation
Em
Will conduct the symphony
D
Dm
of sympathy you attract
C
D
Am
The sky's peeled back,
G
Am
I'll write down fact on this rich track
Em
G
Static, air, pan, clap,
D
Am
C
whatever, I just rap
D
Am
G
You understand me ill coined phrase,
Am
gospel rapper
G
Em
G
By it you turn heads off like the
D
mechanics of a clapper
Am
G
Am
Until now, it's been a long time coming
Em
D
Now the sludge resides at the top like
Dm
Mr.
D
Drum
Am
G
And evident to the inner eye,
no longer discreet
Em
Am
G
True motives get unclothed as words
Am
become concrete and tangible
Though the brothers begin acting stranger
Anti -ambassadors of one
Em
debuted in a major
Am
Like orphans to the industry,
G
Am
nobody wants me
G
Passed around by foster labels won
Am
dering if they plan to dump me
C
G
One side is called mainstream,
Am
but really I see no difference
Where's the 50 % ministry,
G
Am
G
50 % business?
Am
G
Currently it's 1090,
Am
G
Am
with the latter always trailing
G
Am
G
As the cross fades away with the
Am
realness of the nailing
C
G
Am
Getting over using spiritual parameters
C
G
to evolve your level in society
Am
That's what gospel means to me
C
G
Am
Rolling down the river of
Christian seeds
G
Wishing to knock them upside their heads with my oars,
C
shatter their cords
Am
G
Blood trickles from the
C
G
pores of the fickle
Am
G
Am
Lose control from they fancy being tickled
G
How steppers get their peppers peckled?
Am
My question is this
Am
How do you keep it real
when you synthetic?
C
So pathetic, unlikely eating more eight than
HIV
Am
The way I see things
You're doing more harm than help
with chameleonic skills
Latching on to flavors of the month
Am
for cheap thrills
Arms folded on window sills
C
Am
Finding oddities, you call commodities
You false prodigies, I'm judging
G
You're catching life's sen
tences for your sodomy
Am
G
I clutch a cloud through well
Am
-endowed imagination
G
Am
Collaboration with
G
Penn sends your
Am
DJ on a permanent vacation
Em
C
G
I dabble in word placement,
some kind of
Em
Scrabble type shapin'
Am
C
Am
G
Am
Fragments into stories, rezontian skyscrapin' I
C
G
be takin' lashes from them cats who cannot
Am
do the same
Rulin' secular cyphers with no shame,
proclaimin'
Christ's name
Irregular writer on mics,
I'm named the mediocre
artist
G
Am
The spots I be in the so
-called hardest,
Christian rappers be discarded
G
Am
An d it's odd,
Am
when I catch they shows, they
claim they ain't no joke
G
Am
But two people,
Matt
Project, blowed, and

they be in the back straight takin' notes
Fool, I rock both,

Now when it started we was bound by church fallacy,
as time went by we took on the appearance
of being free, but in reality we're not,
we're still trapped in the shallow mentality of
gospel rap.
