(+) Chuck Roberts - I Choose To Live (Visualizer) [Ultra Music]
Peace does not come before salvation
And salvation does not come without truth
I will only tell the truth
I will only tell the truth
Incoming
Truth truth truth truth
Truth truth truth truth truth
People wonderin'
is he woke or just a new slave?
Old religion he just covered it with new chains
Choppin' out the church he ain't real he fake
He divisive he don't rep the king
He just want the fame
Aw man now they actin' like
I'm suddenly political
Told me shut my mouth
And get my checks from evangelicals
Boy my momma raised me
On angela and eldridge
Chuck berry made it but the credit went to elvis
Know you never knew that
Know you think I'm too black
I just think I'm too real I grew up on 2pac
You grew up thinkin' that
The panthers was some terrorists
I grew up hearin' how they fed
My momma eggs and grits
"'Crae they say you should follow
in the steps of king"
I say you've forgotten
How they shot him in the streets
I ain't really changed it's the same old rebel
Still a radical I'm passionate
It's just another level (leggo)
At told me I should fight back
They don't like that (they don't)
Just know if you rock the boat you
Better have a life raft (what?)
Bj told me I should fight back
They don't like that
Just know if you rock the boat you
Better have a life raft woo
I will only tell the truth (facts)
People cannot abide by a truth
They prefer fantasy over reality (facts)
I will only tell the truth
I am for truth no matter who tells it
I will only tell the truth
I am for justice no matter
Who it is for or against (facts)
Rose up out the dungeon
I was feelin' haunted
Now I'm bein' hunted
And I'm on a hunnid
Hit the gas gunning
Skip the past running
Tell 'em they could bring that
If they really want it
I I'm on the hometeam
You just running with the wrong team
Never take 'em with the heavyweights or
Boy you'll die and need a little protein
Southside off a yellowstone
Had a ham bone and a white tee
Got a 12-pack of that real talk in the trunk
Tell 'em come find me
Draped up dripped out covered in the blood
Man I hang where they cripped out
Sippin' on the mud
Where they swingin' got the whips out
Watch 'em pop trunk
Yeah I know it's hella dark
But I'm tryna light it up
Now these people swear they on me
Sendin' out threats
Told me keep my mouth shut
Told me be a stepin fetchit
I will not oblige to your colonized way of faith
My messiah died for the world not just usa
They say jesus was conservative
Tell 'em that's a lie
No he not a liberal either
If you think I'll choose a side
They say 'crae you so divisive
Shouldn't be a black church
I say do the math segregation started that first
Hey you want unity? then read a eulogy
Kill the power that exists up
Under you and over me
I said you want unity? then read a eulogy
Kill the power that exists up under
You and over me woo (facts)
So reconciliation or conciliation requires
Defrauded parties to be made whole
Not just apologizing for the offense
I was waitin' for the right time to tell y'all how I feel
And yeah I know that it hurts but look it's gon' heal
I waited 'til I was on prime time before I let y'all know
And you prolly won't wanna hear my music no mo'
But it's all good man I love y'all
Hope you know that I'm black black
Traded my smart car for a cadillac
Can you handle that?
And I love god
I love jesus the one out of nazareth
Not the european with the ultra perm
And them soft eyes and them thin lips
And I'm still hood
Been in the 'burbs for quite some time
But I still might hit the gas station
For the lemonheads and the pork rinds
And I'm on one
Yeah 116 been real
Binghamton tennessee
From third ward to ceiling hill
And I live a multiple world
Call me a hybrid 'cause I'm so black
Young theologian who educated
But still be at that chicken shack yeah
Lemme get a two piece
