The Ambassador - Thesis Pieces

I usually try not to put more than one rap song up each day... because I so wish everyone would be able to appreciate and reflect on the lyrics of each song....

But I was just so feeling it today, and decided I'd share up here another one of The Ambassador's anointed raps.... oh yes... bring the gospel to the rap society... praise the Lord.



[Verse 1]
Looks like it finally came around like the hands of a clock
Praise to Yahweh Nissi
Shout to the Banner—Shabach
This LP is two sided—for the man on the block
And for the flock who thinks keeping God's commandment is hot
On one side we wanna represent Christ to the Culture
Hip-Hop mostly knows Him for making tight little posters
Or a sculpture, but they can't view Him like they're supposed to
'Cause the gospel's never been preached to them like its' supposed to
And the life in Christ has never even looked like an answer
Except for locked up crooks and Big Mas with cancer
So, Ambassador is back to give you his thesis
The greatest need in Hip-Hop is the input of Jesus

[Hook]
It's the thesis we need this
The story in short
Hip-Hop properly submitted to the glorious Lord
It's problematic 'cause
It can be scary to like
But... Jesus makes everything right (2x)

[Verse 2]
My topic—the redemption of Hip-Hop you got it
But I told you that this thesis is at least two sided
Can't just introduce Christ to the culture like an evangelist
The church needs to be schooled on hip-hop culture so plan for this
I'm a Christian admitin' were wastin' our wisdom
if we don't engage the streets, peep the nation of Islam
They promote a better culture and faith integration
But no resurrection or message of grace that can save men
So God's diggin' in the meeting place
Looking for those needing grace
To launch out from the over crowded breeding space
What will He find?
Just what He designed—Hip-Hop's got missionaries
He brought up for these times

[Hook]
 
 
I'm kinda catching up on all these great raps that's been written like so many years ago... some even up to more than 10 years ago... whao.. raps with so much meaning that then secular music nowadays. Just a little sad that the music's been so limited to the Christian world it doesn't walk that extra step out there! At least, not as well known as the more secular ones... we need to pray!!!

Please enjoy them with me.. and let me know if you share this common interest with me! Hee... I know it's hard for many to like rap music too~~

Let's keep the entertainment industry in prayer!!!
