Give Us the Truth Part 2
Flame Lyrics

After the Platinum Souls tour I did
Following the completion of the Platinum Souls tour, which I participated in,

With Cross Movement I said
In collaboration with Cross Movement, I expressed

My goodbyes cause I had to
Farewell to colleagues and friends since I was obligated to

Fly back to St louis
Return to St. Louis by air

I left the tour early for
I departed from the tour prematurely in order to

My first semester in school
My initial term in educational institution

I was exposed to so much truth that I
I encountered a substantial amount of truth which influenced me to

Had to choose between what I
Had to make a decision between the things that I

Had learned and what I
Had acquired knowledge about and what I

Was taught to do at my church on my
Was instructed to do in my church during

Zone I was so confused
Area of my life, I experienced great confusion

The first Sunday morning back
On the initial Sunday morning upon my return

It was like culture shock
I experienced a state of shock due to the vast differences in culture

Watching the shepherd and
Observing the leader and

Sheep explode like a soda pop
Congregation erupt with excitement like a carbonated beverage

Their heads was shaking they
Their heads were trembling, they

Shaking over these shiesty sermons
Trembling due to the deceitful and dishonest sermons

People spitting and shouting but
Individuals vigorously expressing themselves but

Nobody's discerning I left the
Without anyone demonstrating discernment, I departed the

Building my feelings were crushed
Establishment, feeling utterly defeated and disheartened

I felt forsaken the one place
I experienced abandonment, even in the place

I was supposed to
Where I was expected to

Come for restoration and worship of
Seek solace, restoration, and engage in worship of

A holy God and exalt
The divine, sacred God and elevate

Him in praises spent the
Him through enthusiastic praises, devoted

Whole prayer time rebuking
Entire duration of prayer was spent admonishing

The Satan spent the whole
The embodiment of evil, Satan, spent the entire

Sermon time just talking bout
Time dedicated to sermons was solely focused on discussing

Money while I was dying
Financial matters, while I was experiencing spiritual decay

Inside and spiritually hungry
And feeling empty, longing for spiritual nourishment

That's what we need if
This is the essential component we require when

We gone properly teach
We aim to effectively instruct and educate

If we gone seek and we gone properly reach
If we are to aspire and achieve successful outreach

(give us the truth) that's what
Proclaiming our need for truth, which is

We need if we
Necessary for us to

Gone carry our cross if we gone
Endure our burdens if we are to

Effectively disciple the lost
Successfully guide and mentor those who are astray

(give us the truth) that's what we
Desiring truth, since it is

Need if we gone walk
Critical for our journey as we embark

Up in holiness and boldness
Seeking righteousness and confidence

And meek and lowliness
And humility and modesty

(give us the truth) that's what we
Yearn for truth, which is

Need in this race we
Indispensable in our journey as we

Running proper lessons as we
Progressing, requiring appropriate lessons, as we

Wait for His Second Coming
Anticipate the return of Jesus for the second time

I left the crib moved into
I left my home and relocated to

The dorms so depressed
Immersed myself into dormitory life while experiencing great sadness

That I ventured in porn it was a crazy thing
To the point where I even engaged in pornography, which was incredibly irrational

I felt the disconnect from Jesus' arms so I ceased to
I sensed a detachment from the embrace of Jesus, causing me to cease

Write these rhythms and poems
Creating these rhythmic expressions and verses

To disobey the King
As an act of defiance against the King

I told my teachers that I
I candidly admitted to my teachers that I

Was living in sin and
Engaged in a lifestyle of sin, and

My bible I'd never read it
I declared that I would never read my Bible

Again and threw it in the closet
Ever again, and forcefully discarded it in the closet

And anything that had to do with
Similarly, any item associated with

God Marcus T he was going the opposite as
God, my acquaintance Marcus T, was heading in the opposite direction as

A lifestyle I called Phanatik and Tonic
A way of life. I contacted Phanatik and Tonic

On the cell and said
On the phone and conveyed

From ministry that I was gonna
That I would be taking a break from ministry since I planned to

Chill cause I was
Relax since I was

In no position to minister to
Not adequately prepared or qualified to provide spiritual guidance to

Anybody at all cause I
Anyone whatsoever since I

Wasn't sure if I was a Christian at that
Doubted my identity as a Christian during that time

Moment dog I started skipping classes
Period of time, I began avoiding attending classes

Hanging with the masses and
Consistently socializing with large groups of people and

My days were black and grey
My days were filled with darkness and desolation

Like cigarette ashes all
Similar to the residue left by a cigarette after it is smoked, all

I know is that I wanted to die but suicide
I felt was a strong desire to die, although suicide

Meant meeting the God that
Signified encountering the God that

I thought forsook me
I believed had abandoned and deserted me

But it was obvious God in his
However, it became clear that God, in His

Providence put me with
Divine guidance, placed me among

People to guide me and got me out of this
Individuals who acted as mentors and rescued me from this situation

During the chapel service a cat
While attending a chapel service, an individual

Named Paul Washer preached the
Named Paul Washer delivered a sermon which

Gospel and drove me on to the Lord's altar
Contained the message of the Gospel and compelled me to approach the altar of the Lord

And I confessed my sin and He
Subsequently, I admitted my wrongdoing, and He

Pressed reset again I
Hit reset on my life once more, I

Started over felt like a solider
Began anew, resembling a brave and valiant warrior

For Jehovah I called my
For the Lord, I reached out to my

Old pastor and apologized
Pastor from my past and expressed remorse

For how I behaved
Regarding my previous conduct

But as of that day we agreed to go
However, from that day forward, we concurred to follow separate paths

Our separate ways I
Independently journey and pursue different courses, I

Met this Girl named Beth who told
Encountered an individual named Beth who informed me

Me about a church home first I visit became
About a church community for the first time, and after my initial visit, I turned into

A member and then it was on then the pastor
An official member. Subsequently, things progressed rapidly, and the pastor

Gave me a stack of books now I'm
Provided me with a significant amount of books. Presently, I am

Back with raps and hooks
Returning with my lyrical verses and catchy melodies

Took a summer and spent
Allocated an entire summer, investing

Three hundred dollars on tapes and
An amount of three hundred dollars on cassette tapes and

Books and learned from these biblical scholars
Books, and gained knowledge from these distinguished experts in biblical studies

Now I'm back and I'm walking in
Currently, I am back on track, living in accordance with

Light living my life
Divine light, steadfastly leading my life

Glorifying Jesus the Christ
Honoring and praising Jesus, who is the anointed one
