[Hook: Stephen the Levite]
Can you feel the Friction?
Official, scratch where it’s itchin’
Do you feel the friction?

[Verse 1: Stephen the Levite]
Feel the friction, the world rubbin’ up against the Christian
Within him’s conviction: resistance from itchin’
There is no prevention, the itchin’s persistent
Even when he gives in, it won’t quit insistin’
He’s tempted, bent to be a sinner since his entrance
Been givin’ a sixth sense since the Spirit’s imprint
Proof of the Master’s use (oops, I’ll bring it back in two)
Truth you can tap into and fruit you can sample dude
He fits the description, his sins now afflict him
His Interest has switched his intentions for livin’
His friends see the difference, his kin seem indifferent
They each keep their distance, cause neither seem to get him
Peeps think he’s trippin’, Easter and Christmas
He speaks of forgiveness, and these peep his witness
They sleep when he’s spittin’, he’s a freak in thier vision
But he’ll reap in the end what only Jesus can give Him
(It’s redemption)

[Hook]
[Verse 2: Mark Arthur]
It isn’t at all deep, friction can cause heat
As we get exposed to the letter, the closer the better
We don’t want it, if it’s trouble, busting your whole bubble
And keep playing to win, go to the goal from the huddle
Now if the truth isn’t missing, that will produce friction
Then do what the song say, when sin rubs you the wrong way
It can be hard to resist (though) God is in the midst
(For the), men who start with a sinful heart
Heaven’s where we’re going, (the christian) 7th chapter of Romans
Though we’re inclined to sin fam we dying to win
Relieving words to the lost, merge and then pause
Pop the fly ball or catch a curve at the cross
Hard to crush, we guard what we trust
Keep stressing the clash and pray the pressure will pass
We want you to see what is pure, Christ the king is the cure
Directly after the truth, please sample the fruit

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Anon]
Like matches to flaps, a catalyst for the spark
The Gospel of Light to hearts left in the dark
Comparisons are endless, adequacy is none
Let’s change up the sequence, givin the truth to some
An opposition of foes, warring until the end
Suppose the law’s on the left, on the right is sin
One is promising life, (but) really its bringing death
The other’s cloaked in the one, (while) bringing death in the text
A ministry of death, uh-uh, not in itself
But inside, where sin thrives, showing man his help-
Less condition, positionally poor a pitiful status
And then, CHRIST, will arrest the sin habit
And sin’s damage, it’s the Gospel of Grace
Which takes the treacherous lives and affords ‘em Faith
So count it all joy, because the battle will cease
Discouragement aside, along with your unbelief
[Hook]

[Verse 4: Zae da Blacksmith]
Eyo let’s stop for a minute and give thought to the men who did
Spectacular actions like Steve in Acts chapter 7 and
Think about the way they went against the grain
They would rather to be slain than to never preach his name
“Martyrs” stoned and burned and earned bruises
But the church grew strong through persecutions
And who would have ever figured a factor to cause it
Was opposition that made the friction that sparked it
Huh (pic click) get the picture peep the principle
So you can see what it was meant and what it wasn’t meant to do
Friction isn’t affliction to make you break or buckle though
Eventually it can be used in exposing the suckers though
Yo, It’s like refinement in a fire
Or the life of a diamond before they’d mine him and buy him
Cause (ching) iron sharpens iron through friction
Proverbs 27:17 check the Scriptures
