You, in the Maybach
Laid back with the wave cap
Make your way back home
You, in the Von Dutch
Louis Vuittoned up
Girl, your times up, come back home
You, with the corn rows and the long fros
Lookin' all swole, come back home
You, pretty princess
In the pink dress with the pink vest, come back home
I represent a people that fell through the cracks
They're creative, you can tell it from the wealth of their wraps
They gotta story, which some are known to tell on their backs
Or through graffiti
Others use music and tell it through wax
Take it back
I would cause those are relevant facts
But that was back when we were midgets on an elephant's back
But today we're the elephants that
Other people wanna stand on
We're no longer still in the back
But problems have emerged like the sellin' of crack
Kids'll put a shell in a gat
Then put a shell in your back
And there's a gap between Hip-Hop and the church
Leavin' them stranded like a rescue team stop to a search
But now it's on
That era's gone, a new era's born
They never met Christ, they only met Farrakhan
Well, it's changing 'cause now we're pickin' up the pieces
Expect to see the ecclesial, we're givin' you to Jesus
You, in the Maybach
Laid back with the wave cap
Make your way back home
You, in the Von Dutch
Louis Vuittoned up
Girl, your times up, come back home
You, with the corn rows and the long fros
Lookin' all swole, come back home
You, pretty princess
In the pink dress with the pink vest, come back home
We're all a part of the original fall away
In Adam, we all fall and y'all it was all the way
Yeah, we're lost
But the message of the cross has been bearin' fruit
But only seems to be for lost souls wearin' suits
Back in the day when my Pop's was growing up
Saved or not on Sunday your hind parts was showin' up
Forget it, you headed directly to the steeple
Church was on and poppin' especially for the Negro
But today, Hip-Hop's got new affinities
Money, power, and sex, and a lot of new trinities
Church or the club?
They'll choose club life quickly
Look, you can find them in the club like 50
As for ushers, I've seen theirs
He dances without a shirt and the guy screams, 'Yeah'
Plus they get to see Lil' Jon
It's Ludacris, if you think you're gonna see them read a little John
You, in the Maybach
Laid back with the wave cap
Make your way back home
You, in the Von Dutch
Louis Vuittoned up
Girl, your times up, come back home
You, with the corn rows and the long fros
Lookin' all swole, come back home
You, pretty princess
In the pink dress with the pink vest, come back home
Peep God's people called out of evil
We do more than hang under a steeple, meet the lethal
Adversary call it the flesh
A new status but a body with old habits, all of it meshed
All with no rest, we fight
Can't just do what we please?
We're like kids and sin's like the new Chuck E. Cheese
So, we strive to give him all, not just ten percent
'Cause we're called to live life different, not influenced
Instead, we influence things
Been convinced, sin ruins things
No longer them sensual beings
So it's gonna be tight
And it's on every night
But if loving sin is wrong, we wanna be right
Each morning we fight and tell the body relax
Don't feed the flesh and you watch how the body reacts
We've gotta read Acts, 'cause it's an all out war
Kind of thing that you've got to be called out for
You, in the Maybach
Laid back with the wave cap
Make your way back home
You, in the Von Dutch
Louis Vuittoned up
Girl, your times up, come back home
You, with the corn rows and the long fros
Lookin' all swole, come back home
You, pretty princess
In the pink dress with the pink vest, come back home
You, Maybach
Wave cap
Make your way back home
You, Von Dutch
Louis Vuittoned up
Times up, come back home
You, corn rows
All swole, come back home
You, princess
Pink dress, pink vest, come back home
