After hearing Sean flip, there is no confusion as to what cause he represents and the truth he seeks to share: the love and saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Sean grew up in a Christian household but fell into the trap of living the thug life. He received Christ in 1999 after many drunken car accidents, a failed shooting, drug abuse and promiscuous living.
Hip-Hop has always been in his veins but today's difference is he doesn't use it to speak death, but to speak life. Sean uses the simple tool of music to convey the timeless message of Christ.
great work son.

Sean Slaughter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It be that verse spittin' minister, changin' fractions to integers
The Spirit cringe in us, 'til we crack shackles from prisoners
You rap about the girls, gats, and drugs you administer
I spit about King Elohim, came to sentence ya
Cuff and arrest ya, with peace that passes all intelligence
You a player in the world, but in the spirit celibate
Yeah that flow is phatt, but it's not Christ so it's irrelevant
So I don't play, when it comes to issues of my lifestyle
And realize, you don't get to heaven cause of nice smiles
And good grades, even if ya drank a thang of Gatorade
You still haven't got enough juice to walk the path the savior paved
Time is tickin' while you chase the fame, embrace the game
Man the stakes the same, got prison digits, tryin' to make a name
Ever since I met the Savior; saved, thon it ain't the same
And when I shout Jesus Christ, the earth shakes, it hates the name
Hate's the God that gave the greatest gift, just to take the blame
Either suffer for peace, or you can chill and bait the flame
You say I'm crazy, man that cat ain't bright, he ain't talking sane
It all good, a thousand years from now, still no walking cane
This is for the gangs, for the clicks, for the crews
Who got nothing to lose and dish out the good news
Street corner catz, preaching the Word up in ya habitat
And won't stop until you rattle cats, now where's the battle at (2X)
(Verse 2)
Played the game, pounds of trees, forty dogs and robberies
And when it came to women, hit and leave was my famous steez
One day God our Father brought me crashing to my knees
Saying please, Lord take my heart from this pagan freeze
I heard the Lord say, stay at ease I knew this day would come
Accept me in ya heart and go from relative to closest son
And kid, I'm a make you close to none, only close to one
The time for Christ is really close to come, then it's closed and done
So now I live for the chosen one, check the resemblance
The only difference, I went from, sandals to Timberlands
The Holy Spirit still living in, still rekindling
Never dwindling, I got a mass like the minutemen
Total revelation coupled with the raw action, check my whole faction
Spirit of God, baby we all packin'
Unbelievable this all happened, now I grip Christ like trucks with all traction
Thirst for him, its called passion
Word life, word to J.Christ, I'm on my third life
Now its personal, not ya everyday church life
I felt the heat when I ignored the light, won't get burnt twice
But most are incomplete like cilo minus the third die
Chorus
(Verse 3)
My third eye which is my mind's eye, focused on El shadie
Who else would die for my sins and leave his rights unexercised
While we focus on a Lex and thighs, gram cake and pies
Awaken high, multiple kids and still taken guys
Still letting the cat with the most dough, take the prize
It makes him cry, make his hate the devil and his bait of lies
His fate alies, in a pool of flames, soon we'll see who will reign
So I count my troubles as gain
If Christ had to suffer I say double the pain
Less of me and more of him, yo, that's double the gain
Jesus Christ I bubble the name, sport it like rocks
On a Rolex, praying that you cats would wanna swap
From ya fake movado, that street corner motto
That ya rather pack gats, son, and play Soprano
And put ya trust in ya homeboy like Sam Gravano
That's like rolling dice broke, son, or playing lotto
What's the reasoning, that you keep the Holy Ghost from breezing in
He called me the salt of earth, stay seasoning
Stay appeasing him for lost sheep who fell and lost sleep
Hold ya head, worship him, and keep ya praise lofty
Chorus

It be that verse spittin' minister, changin' fractions to integers
I am a minister who raps verses and converts fractions to whole numbers
The Spirit cringe in us, 'til we crack shackles from prisoners
The Holy Spirit dwells within us, and we break the chains of spiritual bondage
You rap about the girls, gats, and drugs you administer
You make music about girls, guns, and drugs that you distribute
I spit about King Elohim, came to sentence ya
I rap about God, who is the King of all, and will be the judge
Cuff and arrest ya, with peace that passes all intelligence
God arrests us with peace that goes beyond human understanding
You a player in the world, but in the spirit celibate
You live a worldly lifestyle, but in the spirit, you are abstinent
Yeah that flow is phatt, but it's not Christ so it's irrelevant
Your rap is good, but if it doesn't glorify Christ, then it is not important
I'm in the street pedaling his Word, life is delicate
I am preaching the Word of God in the streets, and life is precious
So I don't play, when it comes to issues of my lifestyle
I take my lifestyle seriously and do not compromise my faith
And realize, you don't get to heaven cause of nice smiles
Realize that having a good appearance will not guarantee entry into heaven
And good grades, even if ya drank a thang of Gatorade
Having good grades or drinking a sports drink will not save you
You still haven't got enough juice to walk the path the savior paved
You still lack the strength to follow the path that Jesus laid out
Time is tickin' while you chase the fame, embrace the game
Time is running out while you chase after fame and worldly success
Man the stakes the same, got prison digits, tryin' to make a name
The risk is the same, whether you are in prison or trying to make a name for yourself
Ever since I met the Savior; saved, thon it ain't the same
Since I became a Christian, my life has changed for the better
And when I shout Jesus Christ, the earth shakes, it hates the name
When I proclaim the name of Jesus, it causes a reaction, either positive or negative
Hate's the God that gave the greatest gift, just to take the blame
People hate the God who gave the ultimate gift of salvation, even though He took the blame for our sins
Either suffer for peace, or you can chill and bait the flame
You can either endure suffering for the sake of peace, or you can give into temptation
You say I'm crazy, man that cat ain't bright, he ain't talking sane
You may think I am crazy, but I am not foolish and I speak truth
It all good, a thousand years from now, still no walking cane
It doesn't matter what people say, I will still follow Christ until the end of time
This is for the gangs, for the clicks, for the crews
This message is for people in gangs and groups
Who got nothing to lose and dish out the good news
People who have nothing to lose and share the gospel
Street corner catz, preaching the Word up in ya habitat
We are street preachers, sharing the gospel in your neighborhood
And won't stop until you rattle cats, now where's the battle at
We will not stop preaching until you are moved or challenged. Where is the resistance?
Played the game, pounds of trees, forty dogs and robberies
I used to live a life of crime, drugs, and violence
And when it came to women, hit and leave was my famous steez
I had a reputation for using women and not committing to them
One day God our Father brought me crashing to my knees
Then God brought me to a point of surrender
Saying please, Lord take my heart from this pagan freeze
I asked God to transform my heart from its sinful state
I heard the Lord say, stay at ease I knew this day would come
God told me to be at peace because He had planned my redemption all along
Accept me in ya heart and go from relative to closest son
Receive Christ into your life and become a beloved child of God
The time for Christ is really close to come, then it's closed and done
The time for Jesus to return is approaching quickly, and it will be too late for some
So now I live for the chosen one, check the resemblance
Now I live for Christ, and people can see the change in me
The only difference, I went from, sandals to Timberlands
The only difference is my footwear has changed - from sandals to Timberlands
The Holy Spirit still living in, still rekindling
The Holy Spirit still dwells within me and is still working in me
Never dwindling, I got a mass like the minutemen
My faith is strong and unwavering, like the minutemen who fought for American independence
Total revelation coupled with the raw action, check my whole faction
I combine spiritual insight with practical action, and you can see it in my entire group
Spirit of God, baby we all packin'
We are all empowered by the Holy Spirit
Unbelievable this all happened, now I grip Christ like trucks with all traction
It is amazing how my life has changed, and now I hold onto Christ tightly
Thirst for him, its called passion
I have a deep desire for Jesus, and that is called passion
Word life, word to J.Christ, I'm on my third life
I live my life for Jesus Christ, and I am living my third life now
Now its personal, not ya everyday church life
Following Christ is personal to me, and not just something I do on Sundays
I felt the heat when I ignored the light, won't get burnt twice
I learned my lesson when I ignored God's guidance, and I won't make the same mistake twice
But most are incomplete like cilo minus the third die
Most people are incomplete, like a game of dice missing a third die
My third eye which is my mind's eye, focused on El shadie
My mind is focused on God, who is also known as El Shaddai
Who else would die for my sins and leave his rights unexercised
Only Jesus would die for my sins and not use His power for His own benefit
While we focus on a Lex and thighs, gram cake and pies
While we focus on material things like luxury cars and physical appearances
Awaken high, multiple kids and still taken guys
People are waking up to the truth, even those with many children and those who used to live a life of sin
Still letting the cat with the most dough, take the prize
We still let the person with the most money win
It makes him cry, make his hate the devil and his bait of lies
It makes God weep when we believe the devil's lies and turn away from Him
His fate alies, in a pool of flames, soon we'll see who will reign
Those who reject God will face eternal punishment, and we will see who will reign
So I count my troubles as gain
I consider my struggles as something to be thankful for because they draw me closer to God
If Christ had to suffer I say double the pain
If Jesus had to suffer, then I am willing to endure even more pain for Him
Less of me and more of him, yo, that's double the gain
If I decrease and let Jesus increase in my life, then I benefit twice as much
Jesus Christ I bubble the name, sport it like rocks
I proclaim the name of Jesus with enthusiasm, and I wear it like jewelry
On a Rolex, praying that you cats would wanna swap
I wear Jesus' name on a fancy watch, and I hope others will want to trade their worldly possessions for eternal life
From ya fake movado, that street corner motto
From your counterfeit watch and meaningless street slogans
That ya rather pack gats, son, and play Soprano
That you prefer to carry guns and pretend to be a criminal, like the characters in The Sopranos
And put ya trust in ya homeboy like Sam Gravano
And trust your friends like mafia informant Sammy Gravano
That's like rolling dice broke, son, or playing lotto
That's like gambling with nothing and hoping to win big
What's the reasoning, that you keep the Holy Ghost from breezing in
Why do you reject the Holy Spirit from entering your life?
He called me the salt of earth, stay seasoning
Jesus called me the salt of the earth, and I will continue to bring flavor to this world
Stay appeasing him for lost sheep who fell and lost sleep
I will please God by seeking out lost souls who have strayed and lost rest
Hold ya head, worship him, and keep ya praise lofty
Stay strong, worship God, and continue to lift your praises high
