Verse 1

Sex.....

Used to be very very sacred

It is now a tragedy the way it's become basic

Tell me that it's not real, tell me it's the Matrix

Tell me that we still believe that marriage is the place for it

Money

Didn't pay for your sins

But we don't know that we worship it when we brag about rims

And ice, you know Jesus Christ? yea He paid the price

For your sins with His sinless life but

Booze

Now that is what we choose

Floating on the alcohol, intoxicated cruise

With the liquor, But you don't only kill your liver

You point a loaded gun to your soul and pull the trigger

Chorus

Call me extreme

But I am part of a team

Serving out the soul food because the world is lean

I am part of a team that loves Jesus Christ

And man I hate it when Jesus cries

Verse 2

Class is in session, this is soul college

A little soul food, a little soul porridge

No more blinded by the flash of the glitz

No more guided by the fashion and hits

Swearing, cussing

Moral concussion

Ghanaians, and Japanese, Americans and Russians

Everybody's getting it, it's even right behind you!

Mind you. This one no be swine flu

Let me let my rhymes do, something to remind you

That now it is time to, step over the line you drew

For God never to cross it

But He is so familiar with crosses and not forgetting

Thorns on His head, sores on His feet

Wounds on His back, insults from the streets

Stop the beat.

We forget we're alive because He died

We always forget that we can laugh because He cried

But sometimes I can still hear Him cry

Screaming "is this why I came down to die?

"For you to just kill yourself with sins?

For you to forget me and choose material things?

I destroyed the earth before, for the same reasons

But this time I chose to die, on the cross - bleeding...."

This is why I love Jesus Christ

And this is why I hate it when Jesus cries....
