Vice Versa
Alert312 Lyrics

Vice and Virtue
Both good and bad exist within all of us

Bless you or curse you
Our actions can bring blessings or curses upon us

A thin line's between good humans and the serpent
There's a fine line between being a good person and being tempted by evil

A thin line between going deep and the surface
There's a fine line between truly understanding something and just scratching the surface

Pretty pleasure's pretty poison like an urchin
Things that bring pleasure can also be harmful, like a poisonous urchin in the ocean

Times so urgent, The times so circus,
The world is chaotic and unpredictable

I'm writing with some humble killa kamakazi cursive,
The artist is writing with boldness and conviction

Suicide ink leaking from my very person
The artist's words are so raw that they're like the ink of a suicide note

The subject matter pertinent, Transparent sans script,
The topic is relevant and the message is clear

Take a Deli trip, Cuz' Humble Beast is beefing beefing with the beast in, side of the heart that make you want to be the man, or beat the man,
Take a trip to the deli, because the artist is in a conflict with the beast inside of them that makes them want to be dominant or submissive

either way its relevant, we wrestle with our hellishness, until we catch the crucifix,
Whether we choose good or evil, it's pertinent to our lives and we struggle with the evil within us until we find redemption

It's vicious how just justify rebelliousness,
It's dangerous to justify our actions when we rebel against authority

So Pontius in our politics trying to claim innocent before God's Holiness,
People in power often try to justify their actions to God, like Pontius Pilate at Jesus' trial

Take a moment, huh, Maybe we could reminisce
Take a moment to reflect and remember

Vice Versa Either way you are who you are, No curtains, Lay it out bare, Let it hurt 'cha Virtue or Vice Either way you are who you are, No curtains,
No matter what, we should be honest with ourselves and not hide behind a facade of who we think we should be

Re-work your very person
We should work to change ourselves for the better, instead of just accepting who we are

A thin line between The street corner and the church pew
There's a fine line between living a life of crime and being a religious leader

A thin line between doing good or doing dirt dude
There's a fine line between doing the right thing and being tempted to do wrong

Pharisee or prostitute Prof or the prodigal?
Are we going to live a life of religious pretense, or be like one who has lived a life of sin but now seeks redemption?

Who you gonna honor more?
Who will you choose to honor in your life, God or earthly temptations?

Horror in the saint While there's virtue in a thief
Sometimes we may judge others before considering the good they have done

A thiner line between the white wigs and the street, A thin crime between what you do and what you think,
There's a fine line between the wealthy and those living in poverty, and our thoughts can lead to actions of either good or evil

Better Think, (Better think) God could be closer to the poor than a King,
We should consider that God may be closer to the poor and disadvantaged than those in power

The way you measure life is manifested in belief,
How we view life is based on our beliefs and values

And the bottom line beats when your heart beat stop,
In the end, our legacy is not measured by our wealth or success, but by the impact we have had on others

Who you got? One blink, watch your whole life shrink,
We must choose carefully because our life is short and can change in an instant

Weighed by the glory of the Perfectly Supreme
We will ultimately be judged by God's standards of perfection

I've seen some dirty cops, with killers in the back, Christ saw 'em matter fact, Just a different context And told the cold killer he would see 'em in a sec, Paradise, full effect, Now, how you measure that?
The artist has seen people who have done evil things, but Christ saw them in a different light and offered them redemption. How will we measure the impact of such an act of grace?
