"God tells us that we need to be concerned about justice.
That's the reason why the Apostle Paul is
Pleading his case all the way up to Caesar."
Took a ride down Forrest Hill
Made a turn on How to Pimp a Butterfly
Lotta positivity comin' through rhymes
Lotta frustration with today's times
I can appreciate social commentary
A message conveying more than the monetary
It's good to put money on homey's commissary
But it's something deeper got his momma worried
Beautiful statements made about raising kids
Keep'em from making the same mistakes we did
Teach'em about taxes and how to manage money
Teach'em about equity and investing money
How to deal with depression, youngins be going through it
And the post traumatic stresses from life in the hood
Searching for solutions everywhere under the sun
Looking for a brighter day but rejecting the Son
And I know that the pain you feel is real Yeah I feel it too
And we are sick and tired of this
We want justice I know
We wonder will it ever end
I promise it will But just
Know you ain't gotta have it just for time
You can have it for eternity
Lord knows we need good people changing policies
People in high positions seeking equality
Shifting legislation, meeting common needs
The kind of wisdom that strengthen a weak economy
And I can appreciate social activists
And some of the rappers giving analysis
And use their celebrity as a catalyst
As long as they recognize it's inadequate
To fix the problem that's at the bottom of all problems
To my philanthropic partners this might make you solemn
It's our sin nature affecting the macrocosm
We were born with it, shaped in it we all got it In the
Garden we got it and didn't trust first
We disregarded our
Father so it's a just curse
So it's not that we don't value much of the earth
We just want you to evaluate what's worse
And I know that the pain you feel is real Yeah I feel it too
And we are sick and tired of this
We want justice I know
We wonder will it ever end I promise it
Will But just know you ain't gotta have it just for time
You can have it for eternity
Seems like the goal is utopia
So we striving for social justice and human rights
Just as sure as human trafficking should break our hearts
And cultivate in us motivation to go and fight
There are spiritual realities we must consider
Just as real with consequences that we must consider
That education can't fix either, we must consider
The Person of Jesus spoken about in Scripture
He told us about deep corruption inside our hearts
And if we're honest, see defiance in our own thoughts
See the evidence fail, efforts of Karl Marx
Since the enlightenment been fighting to pull it off
To make this world a better place without God
But true hope and freedom only Jesus can provide
When your motivation is based on the One
Who died Good works can count for eternity and the present times
And I know that the pain you feel is real Yeah I feel it too
And we are sick and tired of this
We want justice I know
We wonder will it ever end I promise it will
But just know you ain't gotta have it just for time
You can have it for eternity
"God tells us to care about the
Flourishing of the people around us; to care about our nation."
And I know that the pain you feel is real Yeah I feel it too
And we are sick and tired of this
We want justice, I know
