Seeds Of Abraham
Playdough Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the seeds of Abraham stepping into the jam
Pump your fist and enlist with the Great I Am
We came to rock these hands up high and defy
Some gravity we casually infiltrating your high fi
Seeds of Abraham up in the jam
Pump your fist like you can't resist the program
While we rock these hands up high and defy
[Verse 1:]
We infiltrating casually causing some casualty it had to be
A principality trying to battle me it rattled me not
I got too much soul plus control of this
Mic device I'm leaving sliced from the Spirit within
That sin ain't never crossed it lost back in the day
While it's testing I'm blessing the word play
Stay tight like lasso Pablo Picasso
Bringing art thru a poem canvas metronome
My home page is locked up in a spiral
I rival with words of enemies from Most High
We try to lock up destiny on top of this microphone
Waiting till the day my crew blows up like firestone
On an SUV cause when I bless you'll be
Inside a state of shock cause how I rock the SMPTE
With tones for time codes and modes on full force
I'm living narrowly righteousness the course
[Chorus]
[Verse 2:]
They wanted truth dropped in the booth they wanted proof
That the resurrected risen Son is busy giving one, two, threes
When I'm checking degrees my mic burn
It was red hot after it got to my turn
Watch the world turn never concerned with what it offer me
Watch it confound the wise so they could scoff at me
Their righteousness for self tells me they're wack
Plus they jack four minutes I ain't never getting back
Yet the fact remains I'm busy smacking names
And taking aim at a market that's black, jargon attack
The white sheets I fight beats bare knuckling chuckling
At all it's weakness, speak this poem
So heads could freely roam like a cellular phone I've known
Many a man doing wrong in a song so the gong rings
Sings vibrato in staccato, till exit stage left is their unofficial motto
[Chorus]
In Playdough's song "Seeds of Abraham," the chorus invites all those who are descendants of Abraham to join in and pump their fists with the Great I Am. The Great I Am refers to God, and the jam speaks to the music and the gathering of like-minded individuals. The verse begins with casual infiltration by those who are descendants of Abraham and the ability to cause casualty if necessary. However, the focus is on having control of the microphone and using words to create art, much like how Pablo Picasso uses his canvas. The words used to make the art will leave one in a state of shock as they rock the SMPTE or Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers. The artist is living with narrowness, which means that he or she is following a disciplined and righteous path.
In the second verse, the artist talks about the truth that people search for and how he brings the proof that Jesus Christ is risen and alive. The artist uses his microphone to reach out to his listeners and tell them that he has been given one, two, and three tips from Jesus. When he checks the degrees on his microphone, he finds that it is red hot as if it's on fire. The listener watches the world and can see the wise confounded by the truth that Playdough is offering. The chorus of the song refers to one's humbleness to God, and the verse talks about how the artist puts his trust in Jesus Christ. Through this song, Playdough makes powerful and direct references to the Christian faith and how one must live their life in a righteous path.
