I Felt That (feat. Derek Minor) Songtext
All glory to the most high God
Yeah
When David told Saul "I could have killed you
But I respect you as my king," I felt that
When Daniel said "It's not me, but it's God
Who interprets these dreams," I felt that
And when the Hebrew boys said "We serving God
Whether we live or we die," I felt that
And when Christ looked toward the Most High
Yeah
When David told Saul "I could have killed you
But I respect you as my king," I felt that
When Daniel said "It's not me, but it's God
Who interprets these dreams," I felt that
And when the Hebrew boys said "We serving God
Whether we live or we die," I felt that
And when Christ looked toward the Most High
And said "Forgive them 'cause they blind," I felt that
Yeah yeah, oh yeah, I felt that
Approaching taboo subjects
At the risk of seeming insensitive and suspect
Dodging the full blitz of those robbing the pulpits
Hundreds of years of them never making it clear, they appear
Racially biased when we all should be united
In the church, the human race gets interpreted in its truest state
There is no debate for Galatians 3:28
This feel like provocation, I know that's your first observation
That's kinda how I feel when it comes to these denominations
The gospel is distributed equally, there's no debating
It's like the truth get taught and preached but it is never learned
Like our cooperation with God is only on our terms, it's like
"If I'mma do it, then I'mma do it like this"
"I'mma make a graven image and I'mma show Him like this"
"I only promote this even though this doesn't exist"
"This a false image but I taught you to believe that this is authentic"
Where's the conviction when you need it, baby? It's a cold world and I been feeling anemic lately
My fascination with the facts is what got me seeming crazy
To you and all your passive aggression that is the proof, pastor
Why you bless the fool, please ask for humility
You can't hate my color then call me brother, that's what be killing me
Don't believe the gospel that the Klan preached, that's wickedness
Can't study the scrip and omit the truth, that's ridiculous
God formed man out of the African dust
If that goes against your theology, I would imagine that's rough
But listen, if I'm prescription-ing the God that provides
And has the power to subside the pain while killing your pride
And if we're called to read the chapters in His house
That same call come with a charge to give an accurate account, I said it
If we're called to read the chapters in His house
That same call come with a charge to give an accurate account, salute
When David told Saul "I could have killed you
But I respect you as my king," I felt that
When Daniel said "It's not me, but it's God
Who interprets these dreams," I felt that
And when the Hebrew boys said "We serving God
Whether we live or we die," I felt that
And when Christ looked toward the Most High
And said "Forgive them 'cause they blind," I felt that
Yeah yeah, oh yeah, I felt that
Okay, cops killed a n***a
You more mad for saying n***a than the cop that killed 'em
And I don't get the picture
I know that children listening
Rather show 'em how to stand for truth
Than do a youth group and tell 'em "jump, jump"
This is not your tap-dancing Sambo type of flow
This that revolutionary get your foot up off my throat
For every ancestor raped, burned, and lynched on a tree
Pray to Yah for liberation, He said that starts with me
So I hopped up in that Word, started praying with my feet
I learned that from Frederick Douglass
Our history more than hustling
Our destiny more than selling dope and popping benz
Or warring in the street
Over rented properties that we don't own
On "Stranger," I rapped to you
"Change the World," I sang to you
Online I talk to you, I'm thinking you don't wanna listen, fine
I'll pray for you and then reclaim my time like Maxine
That living water washed my soul clean, I got a mission
Protesters marching, cops hit 'em with batons in they knees
Our world in disarray, O Adonai, what does it mean?
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on Earth, justice and peace
Forgiveness for our souls for not holding Christ as the King
Kingdom come, kingdom come
Your kingdom come
Kingdom come, kingdom come
Your will be done
When David told Saul "I could have killed you
But I respect you as my king," I felt that
When Daniel said "It's not me, but it's God
Who interprets these dreams," I felt that
And when the Hebrew boys said "We serving God
