Swoope
1 Peter 5:8
[Verse 1]
1 Peter 5 & 8
Be vigilant, be sober
Not drunk with wine like slurred sentences
Hung over, hunched over the John as you hurl
Throwing your lunch over
Cause it's no time to waste, please read 1 Peter 5 & 8
Feast like a cannibal on the fruit
Be obese cause an animal looks for you, to devour
Like a roaring lion
Seek truth cause you're sought out by a roaring liar
He seeks you, to eat you
Please don't be fooled his goons have the tools
To try and fix up the race
Have you looking like a dumb bad boy
Tryna hold a stickup with mace
Try to glue your feet to the ground, to slow you down
So you waste time tryna pick up the paste
Resist, it's so necessary
Yea the armor of God, it's so necessary
We gotta live out our faith
He can't infiltrate our brain if we tell him get out our face
Resist, that is the message
Listen up kids, for the children of God
This is us kids, we ain't havin' it
Because rabbits get, ate by snakes but his tricks are for kids
Resist, steadfast in the faith
The afflic-tion that is taking place
It's gonna take some grace sent down from Heaven
Be comforted, something of the same being live by your brethren
Live by verse 7, all your cares give to Him
Gotta die to flesh so we can live through Him
Something I suggest is we depend on God
Because the odds, of us winning by ourself
Just fighting with flesh none is too slim, oops!
I mean it's slim to none
Gotta let our light shine through, Him the Son
Why be in bondage that's a waste of shine
Just like a bad boy locked up is a waste of shine
Church, it's time to wasting it
Time that is, we don't have much
I know that we are weak, but our dad's tough
And we're His holy nation, flee fornication
Kill your will, swallow pride, and smash lust
[Bridge]
1 Peter 5 & 8
Be sober, be vigilant
Because your adversary the devil
As a roaring lion walketh about seeking whom he may devour
Whom resist stedfast in the faith
Knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world
But the God of all grace who hath called us
Into his eternal glory by Christ Jesus
After that ye have suffered a while
Make you perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you
That's the Word!
Yes, yes, the Word of God!
Yes, yes, uh!
Let's bring it today!
Yup, yup!
But the God of all grace, who has called us
Into His eternal glory by Jesus
After a while when we've suffered in the heat through the streets
Will perfect and complete you and me
But the God of all grace, who has called us
Into His eternal glory by Jesus
After a while when we've suffered in the heat through the streets
Will perfect and complete you and me
After a while when we've suffered in the heat through the streets
Will perfect and complete you and me
[Verse 2]
After a while when we've suffered through the streets
Imma need a drink, from the living well of my Father
Holy Spirit refresh me, to go through this heat
Let me Dwayne wade in your water
Imma sop it up, I done smartened up
Call me Dwayne Wayne in your water
It's a different world you can bet
But the Scripture still applies, still man
Like a different world you can bet
My helper's still coming from the hill man
My glasses flipped up, so I can look up
And catch the big picture
Yea, my glass flipped up, so can sip of
The water from the big pitcher
Pour it out, like recovering alchies
And I'll be, drunk with what the Lord's about
Like re-recovering alchies
Until I'm upchucking my will, out me
A large lu-lust mcmeal without cheese
Cause I'm stu-stuck in my will without the
Something like neutral, stuck on the guilt
Of things that I did in the past
So Lord I need you to
Buckle my belt, turn the key and give it some gas
And we gon' vroom, straight to the throne room
People listen up, cause time is gon' be gone soon
