Sho Baraka Lyrics

Big Lion shout to my mellow, my saint K-Drama man, Whats good?
Greetings to my friend K-Drama, who is a talented musician and a devout Christian.

Now this song is ridiculous man, continue to serve the Lord with your gifting but
Although this song is meant to be entertaining, it is important to remember to use our gifts to serve God.

You know your boy had to correct you on one thing right!
I have to point out one issue with your lyrics.

Opposition in my face, I'm try to play 'fence
I am facing opposition, but I am trying to stay neutral.

I'm bigger than this dude that don't make no sense
I am more significant than the opposition.

I Kobe Bryant on 'em (Aye!)
I am taking the offensive and attacking my opponents like Kobe Bryant.

Body slam my flesh, Andre the Giant on 'em
I am overcoming my human desires through self-discipline and strength.

When life throws you curve balls like Nolan Ryan on 'em
When things don't go as planned, I still keep going like a baseball player facing a pitcher's tough curveball.

Don't give up in the field, Detroit Lions on 'em
I will persevere through adversity like the Detroit Lions football team.

His foes gave Christ the cross, he wasn't dyin' on 'em
Even when Jesus Christ was being crucified by his enemies, he did not surrender.

I will actively avoid temptation, just like how Usain Bolt runs away from his opponents in a race.

But there I go celebrating before the finish line
Sometimes I celebrate too early and forget to stay focused until the end.

I find myself repenting again, for my pride
I often need to ask for forgiveness for being too proud.

I got that 4 by 4 community, pass the sticks on 'em
I have a supportive community that I can rely on.

I hope that my friends will always be there for me, just like how a quarterback depends on his team.

I want to please God and show him my respect and loyalty.

I'm unashamed of the gospel, 1-1-Six on 'em
I am proud and unafraid to proclaim the gospel of Christ.

God is impressive and wondrous, just like Kobe Bryant.

Yours is always hurt, yea Tracy McGrady on 'em
In contrast, Tracy McGrady had a history of frequent injuries.

Temptation comes my way, I Cuba Good' on 'em

I'm not trying to become a pro golfer like Tiger Woods.

I'm tryin' to deliver the word, Bill Gates on 'em
Instead, I am trying to deliver the message of God.

But they worried about themselves, MySpace on 'em
Some people are too focused on themselves instead of God.

I haunted by the truth where even church goin' youth
The reality of the truth affects everyone, even youths who attend church.

Just wanna root for the thug in the thousand dollar suits
Some people are more drawn to someone who appears tough, wealthy, and stylish.

Cause he looks fly, and he's got a lot of swagger on 'em
People are attracted to his good looks and confidence.

But he's gonna die, yeah pull out the casket for 'em
However, like everyone else, he will eventually die.

Then he stands before the throne, Judge Judy on 'em
He will face God and be judged.

Then you see your life was mishandled and unruly on 'em
He will realize that his life was chaotic and not lived according to God's plan.

Then realize you missed the bus, Kris Kross on 'em
It will be a moment of realization, just like the hip-hop duo Kris Kross's hit song 'Jump.'

But I was picked from high school, I Kobe Bryant on 'em
I was chosen and I overcame hardships, just like Kobe Bryant did.

'Cause I found that new found love, thats Da Truth Emmanuel
I have discovered a newfound love for God, which is represented by the Christian rap artist Da' T.R.U.T.H.'s song 'Emmanuel.'

The lamb hurt for my sins, no longer ? urt for my friends,
Jesus Christ sacrificed himself for my sins and I no longer hurt my friends.

No longer work for the ends, last clerk to leave the gym
I am no longer pursuing material gain, and I am focused on serving God until the end.

Cause the Lord is like the glass, you can always bank on
God is reliable and trustworthy.

I enjoy jumping obstacles and ranking high on the charts.

I hit the J's at the buzzer in this game of Jeopardy
I like to succeed against all odds, just like hitting a game-winning shot in a game of Jeopardy.

Causing the world to stay away from me, like I got leprosy
My faith and values may be causing certain people to stay away from me.

I used to run with 8, now I'm runnin' 24
I used to run with a certain group, but now I have shifted my focus.

Used to be luke warm, now I'm full time for the Lord
I used to be indifferent in my faith, but now I am fully committed to serving God.

To my defense I; m still in that 2-3 zone
I am still defending my stance, despite opposition.
