Armed
Artifex feat. Mickey Cho Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
the only thing that's ‘tight' about your ‘joints' will be the tournaquets
i'm crashing the security, my purpose is to turn it into
working and sufficient: it's your brain that i'm referring to
passionate! i'm worried that my actions will be blurry
when reacting to attacks from the assassin and his surrogates
my discipline's aligned with all the flyest aviation
i'm built to acclimate to any climate varation
sickest in the triage. the prince of innovation
you ain't ‘lighting up' the wager: the ‘pot' ain't worth the ante
a victory over you ain't even hardly worth the brandy
automatic inspiration is what the message ought to be
i ‘process' the craft with the ‘organic' methodology
and if our god is for me, then the devil isn't winning
now those soldiers ain't as zealous ‘cause they general is timid
not against flesh and the blood
but against dark powers that surround us
if the word is a sword, then we rap like we armed
and we ride into the battle all around us
(mickey cho)
and i was born into a war that i could no longer ignore
that my forefathers before me had fought in as it's recorded
in hebrews chapter eleven: i am a secret weapon,
the devil can't overcome. his only weapon's deception
it's something i'm not accepting. i was made for his blessing
i'm more than an overcomer so come to me trials and testing
if he is the way, the truth, life, and the ressurection
then death is just but a pest that i'm moving over and stepping on
all these decepticons always try to get me on
the dark and foolish path off the rock that abba set me on
way to many of us fail to even get beyond
the revelation of his salvation, don't get me going!
until the rest of what is left of all my breath is gone
victory ain't an outcome: it's what i'm resting on
spiritual warfare? more like ‘spiritual slaughter,'
no weapon could overtake us, the mighty one's sons and daughters
not against flesh and the blood
but against dark powers that surround us
if the word is a sword, then we rap like we armed
and we ride into the battle all around us
(mickey cho)
and this is what i was made for: this is what jesus paid for
gave more than i can ever could pay him, more than a savior
i was designed, heart and my mind, never to break, only to shine
i'm coming to find that i'm divinely made in his imagine and living to die
(nak)
bars off the ‘top,' watch em drop off the follicles
progress is locked, obstacles are never optional
the art is audible: so every time i drop the jaw
it's like i tossed a can of acid that'll make a rapper soluble
(mickey cho)
no rocket science, the devil's voice is silenced
when we speak what god is speaking, there's no power that could rise up to defy us
the blood of my messiah's flowing in me
it's the cry of the redeemed to all the suffering beside us
(nak)
draw from out the sheath, a sudden brandish of the blade
it's the double-edged answer to the beast who loves to ‘prey'
and when i'm saying ‘blade,' i be talking about the spiritual
and when i say ‘prey,' he be chomping on your physical
(mickey cho)
i'm living a vision to give him my every devotion
spitting is part of the mission that i was given by him as the focus
forgiven and full of the spirit: the grave couldn't even hold us
if it tried, i am alive, heaven before me on every side
(nak)
manipulate the language lace a pattern with the rhetoric
debasing principalities with effervescent sentiment
i drop bars like medicine: beneficial chemically
so heavy it will leave a sudden crevease in your sediment
(mickey cho)
i am a resident, dwelling where his presence is
i am an ambassador. where i am, heaven is
the god of angel armies is my general and president
his power's ever evident, it never ever ever fails
(nak)
reverse polarity: a place where darkness is so brilliant
sin is now encouraged and the spirit is the sickness
we'll rip apart the lock, the door be hanging from the hinges
we infiltrate the system and infect it with the wisdom
not against flesh and the blood
but against dark powers that surround us
if the word is a sword, then we rap like we armed
and we ride into the battle all around us
The song Armed by Artifex featuring Mickey Cho is a rap about being armed spiritually in the face of real-life battles. The song starts with Artifex rapping about how his attack will "snap all the ‘absurdity,' so ‘break a leg,' your ‘humorous (humerus)'" indicating that his weapons are stronger than those of his enemies. He then goes on to describe himself as a disciplined person, aligned with the flyest aviation and built to acclimate to any climate variation. In the second verse, Mickey Cho raps about how he was born into a war that he could no longer ignore, and that his forefathers before him had fought in. He is a secret weapon against the devil's deceptions, and he was made for God's blessing.
The song is about being prepared for spiritual warfare. The lyrics suggest that the enemy is not flesh and blood, but dark powers that surround us, and we need to be armed with the word of God, like a sword. The song uses rap as a tool for evangelism and encourages people to have faith, hope, and trust in God to fight their battles. The song's overall message is that with God on our side, we can overcome any obstacle or challenge.
