Real or Fake
I've gotta stop spittin these unholy rhymes
because now we're livin in unholy times
I wanna see all my Christians on the rise
demonstrating that they truly have Christ.
We've gotta stop all this nonsensical jokin
because we've been displayin attitudes of the broken
I'm tired of lookin round and hearin all the cussin and cursin
by people's who Christ's name is who they're rehearsin
this isn't a social group that you can join and not be a part
bein part of this means a change in your heart
and that change means a change on your outside
so what is it, have you changed or have you lied?
Christians I want to know if you're a fake or if you're real
because upon your life my master has placed his holy seal
on judgement day when before him all our sins we face
we'll cry and he'll respond "But you've been saved by my grace"
So all my Christians what's it going to be?
continue to live in sin, or will you be set free
will you declare "It's Christ who lives inside of me"
and through him will you finally be able to see
that our lives have to go through a major change
and often times changing who we are feels mighty strange
but give it to God and let him rearrange
and throw out your sins for his grace in his great exchange.
We've got to stop this unholy speech that comes from our mouths
instead turn to our brothers and shout it loud
that our Christ has made a change inside of me
and through that we've been set free
Christians I want to know if you're a fake or if you're real
because upon your life my master has placed his holy seal
on judgement day when before him all our sins we face
we'll cry and he'll respond "But you've been saved by my grace"
I know what you've been thinking this entire time
as I've been sittin here spittin out every rhyme
"Who is this guy that's tellin me I'm wrong
what does he care if I'm weak or if I'm strong"
I care cause it matters if you're real
if you'll allow Christ your sins to reveal
or if you'll sit back and listen to the mass appeal
because livin the Christian life isn't ideal
If you struggle with sin that's not the same
as sinning and not caring while proclaiming his name
you can't serve two master's so choose which it'll be
one will put you in chains, and one will set you free
So all my Christians I'm giving you this simple task
"What needs changed in my life" is what you must now ask
Give it all to Christ, all the things that you do
stop holdin on to everything like a tattoo
it can be removed and you can be free
but you have to open your eyes in order to see
Christians I want to know if you're a fake or if you're real
