Anthem
Conquest Lyrics

Me ah rep fi 'El Shaddai' wit’ de platform given
I am representing 'El Shaddai' with the platform I have been given

We getting transformed within
We are undergoing transformation internally

It’s Radical Thinking
It's about embracing radical thinking

Rah, Rah
Expressing enthusiasm and energy

Brooklyn boy that’s in your city
A person from Brooklyn who is present in your city

Out in Harlem, but I ain't diddy
Being in Harlem, but not being like Diddy (Puff Daddy)

Staten Island to the Bx
From Staten Island to the Bronx

What up Queens
Greetings to the people in Queens

In the same way the Serbs oppose the Palestine, I do that with my savage mind
Similar to how Serbs oppose Palestine, I oppose with my fierce and aggressive mindset

That half the time wants to smash a ‘dime’ other than my valentine
Sometimes, I have the desire to be unfaithful to my partner

The flesh ain't no joke, no comedic sketch at Caroline’s
The desires of the flesh are serious and should not be taken lightly

The root of all evil is blossoming faster than dandelions
Evil is growing rapidly and uncontrollably

In this ‘Garden of Eden’, I’m the target of demons
In this world full of temptations, I am a target for demonic influences

Heartless with reason to have my treason regarded as pleasing
Having a rational justification for my betrayal being seen as enjoyable

But it’s far from it, this filth my art stomached
Contrary to how it may seem, the corrupt actions I engage in are not satisfying

Boosting my ego but it’s a zero if my heart plummets
Although it may temporarily inflate my ego, it means nothing if my inner self suffers

Sin's a cancer that will leave the homie stressed
Sin is like a disease that burdens and troubles individuals

So I get it off my chest like Angelina Jolie’s breasts
I confess and release my burdens, similar to how Angelina Jolie underwent a mastectomy

No disrespect to Brad Pitt, I admire pro-activeness
Not intending to disrespect Brad Pitt, but I appreciate taking initiative

When God's word is a chemo that we never fight our cancers with
We should use God's word as a form of treatment to combat our spiritual illnesses

We rather be depraved, stay a slave
Instead of striving for righteousness, we choose to indulge in wickedness and remain enslaved

Rather be unified with a vice than crucified with the Christ
We prefer to be in harmony with sinful habits rather than undergoing spiritual transformation through Christ

Rather trust the corporate ladder, reality show mirage
We choose to place our trust in climbing the corporate hierarchy and superficial reality shows

And the gospel of every rapper comparing themselves to God
The message of many rappers who proclaim themselves to be godlike

Using biblical references just to prove their dope
Employing biblical allusions solely to showcase their skill and greatness

I’m using lyrical penmanship just to prove there’s hope
I am utilizing my lyrical skill to demonstrate that hope still exists

For a Shawn Carter, for Beyoncé Knowles
This is for individuals like Shawn Carter (Jay-Z) and Beyoncé Knowles

For that chick dancing to ‘Drunk in Love’ on a stripper pole
For the woman who is performing a provocative dance to 'Drunk in Love' on a stripper pole

For that preacher ‘killing’ Christians with that false doctrine
For the religious leader who is misleading Christians with erroneous teachings

Accept Christ as Savior and lord over all options
Choose to embrace Christ as the Savior and the one who has control over all choices

Only then will your thinking be renewed
Only in that moment will your mindset experience a transformation

And you’ll be saved from the greed and unforgiveness that’s in you
You will be freed from the selfishness and lack of forgiveness that resides within you

For self-destruction, human nature got an appetite
Human nature has a tendency to seek self-destruction

Rather trust the lavish life over the living sacrifice
We prioritize worldly pleasures over the selfless act of sacrificing for others

My righteousness is filthy rags, devoid of bragging rights
My attempts at righteousness are worthless, I have no reason to boast

Cause good works ain’t the key to heaven, even if I be a reverend
Performing good deeds alone does not guarantee entry into heaven, even if I hold the position of a reverend

Cause my flesh, it be irreverent, wants attention, needs direction
Because my physical desires are disrespectful, they crave attention and require guidance

In this motion picture that ain’t all gravy, Christ is Scorcese
In this complex and challenging life, Christ is like a skilled filmmaker directing the narrative

After Hours on 'Mean Streets', my plate is full
After experiencing difficult and morally ambiguous situations, I have many burdens to carry

Witnessing to 'Gangs of New York' that’s full of Raging Bulls
Sharing my faith with individuals caught up in the chaotic and aggressive world of 'Gangs of New York'

I pray that 'Wolf on Wall Street' has Christ regarded
I hope that the character portrayed in 'Wolf on Wall Street' prioritizes Christ in their life

Above all his possessions when he joins The Departed
Placing Christ above all material possessions, especially in the afterlife

Chapter 3 in Romans says our throats are open graves
Referring to a passage in the Bible (Romans, chapter 3) which describes how our words can be destructive and harmful

So if slander’s being spoken, that will choke the hope that saves
If we engage in spreading slanderous words, it can hinder the message of hope found in salvation

So I’m going at vipers full of cursing and bitterness
I am confronting individuals who are filled with foul language and resentment

With the verse that’s magnificent based on word that’s omnipotent
Using powerful and impactful verses based on the all-powerful word of God

Change the thinking of any crowd I’m present to reach
In my presence, I aim to transform the mindset of any audience I encounter

With more than skills, relevancy or eloquent speech
Going beyond mere skills or eloquent speaking to make a meaningful impact

Yeah I know that was random
Acknowledging a change of topic or unexpected transition

See I was bumping 'August Burns Red' before I wrote this here anthem
Indicating that the artist was listening to the band 'August Burns Red' before writing this anthem

This ain’t a 'Freestyle Fam', this is a ‘Quest’ to be Redeemed
This is not a freestyle performance, it is a personal journey to find redemption

When social media narcissism got us reckless to extremes
The excessive self-centeredness portrayed on social media leads us to act recklessly

When depressive porn abusive is swiftly trafficking my hell
When consuming pornographic content worsens my depressive state and contributes to my personal hell

Forget battling rappers, I’m too busy battling myself
I don't have time to engage in rap battles, as I am preoccupied with my own inner struggles

Lord, have us broken, please tear every cartilage
Lord, bring us to a state of humility and vulnerability, breaking down every barrier

Radically change our thinking so we’re all set apart from this
Transform our mindset in a way that distinguishes us from the negative influences of the world
