Passing
Json Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm just passing through it this ain't my home I know it/
you gotta go when deaths at your door eviction notice/
yea all Im saying its just a vapor though fading slow/
so you can't stack that paper but can't take it though/
Know its all gonna fall like Rome or that Berlin wall right/
so we preach to them all Christ in the dark we them fog lights/
yea we shine see us glistening till that sky is cracked and he splitting it/
we all about man his business so we walk it out we be living it/

yea had to leave my old girl she was my main squeeze/
call her cold cold world brain freeze/
now I'm guarding my zone like 2-3/
I'm a saint just put a 9 on my back I'm like Drew Breeze/
I'm just passing but I'm not quarterbacking/
see the word was a verb I'm just following his actions/
this life it ain't my own boy we here then we gone/
we preach the message till the day he call us home cause we got/

One shot and then I'm gone cause I'm passing/
run until we reach the throne cause I'm passing/
shake this world on my way home cause I'm passing/
Like I'm quarterbacking I'm just passing passing passing passing/
Like I'm quarterbacking

2 (Serge)

A tablespoon of sugar or substitute it for Splenda/
Cause I'm tryna shake this world gimme some ice, milk and a blender/
Cause I'm passing, I'm dying, but before I head on out/
I have to buy a calculator, ‘cause I want my life to count/
I'm talking finish my mission, see because I'm a Christian/
God and the glorious Gospel should be my only ambition/
But sometimes I'm lowercase in different ways that I serve/
So CAPS LOCK my heart till all it does is lift up your WORD/
And I, will take this Gospel proclaim it to those who hate it,/
Debate it but some embrace it and accept propitiation/
Now we ain't learning a language, but we still tryna speak life/
share Christ and be the salt like Lot's wife/
‘cause see if they don't hear, then how will they believe/
So see before we leave, I pray that we would be/
The ones to pass it on before we see forever/
Jesus strengthen me to labor and to constantly remember I got

3 (K.B.)

Uh I don't know what know what you heard /
But I know that you notice we roll with word/
Verily verily heavily versed/
And Not to be flexin' our memory
But the opinions are many lets get to this work/
What does God say!?
Trust me homie we can talk all day,
But degrees & esteem & doesn't mean that a thing that you think are thoughts of Yahweh/ ah wait…
You might be sincere, but you are sincerely wrong /
If your position just isn't consistent with scripture then it is
sincerely yours/ & not Gods so I fight
Enough about what you like to think
What God is what God's like/
We can be wrong anywhere else but on this one we gotta be right/
Who is God the father'?/
Rappers love to quote his writings/ but i doubt they know the author/
so If I play the martyr
Plenty of my fathers been sheep counted for slaughter
To join them would be an honor
Homie You just tell my daughter

That the word of God is worth dying for/
Lets His word stand every man be a liar/
