The Bridge

Lyrics

[Tonic] Hip-hop, set out in the dark We used to do it out in the park And now that Hip-hop has revealed its heart We need a Bridge like Noah's Ark Adam and Eve, the throwback Lois and Clark Took a hit from the kryptonite right from the start And the effects of this sin has torn us apart from God And now Hip-hop is more than art, it's fraud Perpetrated to the highest degree As young shorty's percolated 'til they tired and weak And now it's so circulated, we're a nation of freak We feel the weight and hercules it only to our defeat There's not a man that ever lived that can carry the lost Except the Man that ever lives who carried the cross Now we can act like we don't know what time it is But if we don't repent surely we cannot live coz we need... [T.R.U.-L.I.F.E.] Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the adrenaline-filled Life of a mic engineer that should of been killed But instead the head of my life footed the bill I'm indebted to Christ coz this dude is the real Look, I don't have many ends And even if I did, it wouldn't be enough to pay for my sins Before I was born, He was beaten, flesh was torn So I've sworn my allegiance 'til I'm dead and gone His kindness led me steadily while showing me Everything in my heart was potentially deadly He asked for my hand so I gave it The war is different now, new rules of engagement Was living foul like flagrant But life smells sweet to God so now I'm fragrant You think you got a life, I can show you how to live Holler at your bol then I'll meet you at the Bridge [Phanatik] Man I'm glad I found a Bridge that connected me Coz I was all out the way like Schenectady How was I going to get to the hot spot? Following me? I was headed to that hot spot H-E double where God is not He saved me from my trouble plus the body rot Now He's taking me to the true party spot Catch me with my new body ock, singing Badiyah Classic from back in the day but that was B.C I ain't going back to those days, this is the new me Catch me making passionate plays on words and phrases Helping you see the Passion as the place, it's like a bridge To help you get across stuff, the cross does Just that and it's just that it's all love All justice, all grace, all mercy, all wrath But that's the only way you see His face coz He's the Bridge [Ambassador] In this world you better be strapped heavily Never leave home without carefully packing your heavenly weaponry And no matter what your strategy, better read They hate the Savior so they hate your pedigree (John 15:18-20) Better believe the emcee medley We all readily credit the God who said, Let it be And says, Let it stay, but y'all better learn One day He's gonna say, Okay now let it burn Let us turn, drop the Glock, stop the marijuana I'm not the cops but I got a Pops you have to honor Death stalks like Terminator did Sarah Connor Let's walk across the Bridge, He's like the Verrazzano Applaud this, you were down and God saw this Sent His flawless Son who says, Enter My office Where He offers to cleanse men in Living Waters He'll show you who the Lord is and why He gives the orders When your heart feels the soreness from sin it's sure is good to know Christ penetrates your hardcoreness He made the thug and plus He made the ghetto Real unique like the Greek word monogeneto I know it's deep but I warned you from the get-go I can't be Petros, can't run and hide like a gecko Let's go, Christ is the Bridge, let it echo You can come home and stop roaming (Roman) like a Greco!
