Beres Hammond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everyone is listening to your song
So remember, remember
When you call on the name of the Father
Make sure you serious
'Cause it can be dangerous, yes
It's not a joke thing, no
That can be dangerous
Make sure you serious
It's not a joke thing, no
When you say you love
Make sure it's from your heart
All your life disguising
Knowing one day you'll be caught
So when you're planning to brainwash your brother
That can be serious
That can be dangerous, Lord
It's not a joke thing, no
And when you come as the Devil's disciple
And spread your evil
Over the people
It's not a joke thing, no
Brother man as from today
Make sure of what you say
Don't you watch the crowd
My Father is not loud
So when you call on the name of my Father
Make sure you serious
'Cause it can be dangerous, oh
It's not a joke thing, no no
Ooh, ooh (yeah)
Brother man, brother man, oh yeah yeah yeah
Oh no no no no no no
(Brother man) oh God now
(Watch what you're doing)
Brother man, brother man, oh yeah
Whoa no, no, no
I cry for you
'Cause you don't know what to do
You want to live such a big life
That you're blinded by the light
When you hustle in the name of the Father
That can be dangerous
Make sure you serious
It's not a joke thing, oh
When you say you love
Make sure it's from your heart
All your life disguising
Know that day you'll be caught
Oh yes
Make sure you serious
Gotta make sure
That can be dangerous
Oh God, it's not a joke thing, no
and don't you hustle in the name of my Father
That can be dangerous (yuh know)
Make sure you serious (make sure, oh yeah)
It's not a joke thing, yes
When you call on the name of the Father
Make sure, gotta make sure you serious
Oh woii, oh yeah, oii
