They were clappin' for me when I walked down that aisle
I heard those screams and all them shouts
Them old ladies was proud
But did they know that just a month ago I got knocked down
Body found, layin' on the ground, not makin' a sound
Could they see all of the women I had slept with?
Could they see the veins poppin' in the hands that I strangled his neck with?
Could they see the tormented mindset that I was left with
When I accepted my death wish and wore it like my favorite necklace
Except for the little bit of expressions of innocence
I would wrestle and fidget with
I was reckless and ignorant
Arrested for enterin' someone's residence with they kids
I would check an extensive list, but I never could finish it
Plus depression was kickin' in, but Jesus was speakin' to me
This God that I thought was dead was obviously reachin' to me
My partners were shocked and they all stopped rockin' with me
Cause truly, I stopped with the nonsense
I was evolving to see it newly
They all thought that Monty lost it
I promise you see Him through me
Mothers and fathers, bishops and pastors and deacon truly
They watched exalt my Father and thought that they freakin' knew me
Prolly thought I resolved to just nod when the preacher moved me
But I'm not gon' sit in church and impress you with my attire
I'mma walk up them double doors
And my God'll set the city on
Set the city on, set the city on
(Set the city on fire)
I'm not gon' sit in church and impress you with my attire
Imma walk up them double doors with my God and set the city on
Set the city on, set the city on
(Set the city on fire)
With all the stuff that I done been through
I can't sit through another church service with a pastor in a slick suit tellin' me how I'm gon' get through
Cause I'm dangerous
And I'm angry at Satan for makin' us think to be sane is to stay in the same place until we get placed in the grave
You are hopless and ashamed
Why you go and get saved and exposed to His name
If you wasn't gonna share it with someone sellin' dope in the game
What about that seventeen year old on the train who wants to blow out his brains
But if you go over and say that Jehovah can save, then his mindset would totally change
In the spiritual realm, I'm armed and equipped
With an arsenal kit, and an army to split and your market defense
But in the real world, I drive a car witha dent
And if minimum wage means I'm wealthy, well
Then I'm partially rich
So grab your torches and battles horses
We're matchin' forces with vast endorsements and bashin' borders from Atlanta, Georgia to California? to Florida, attackin' the order that's maskin' all people
Bashin' your source with no remorse of what happens to evil
Cause now as we speak it's on the prowl for the weak
How can you sleep when they growlin' they teeth and poundin' the sheet?
I know the preacher love when I go, soundin' loud from my seat
But that ain't the only reason that Jesus allow me to see
I'm sorry...
