Disconnected
Stephen the Levite Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Disconnected, perspective corrected
Mind no longer blind to the prime directive
Eyes open wide yo I spy deception
With a plumb line the Bible is lie detection
As a believer I perceive the
Deceiver sowinβ€² seeds of deceit via the media
Peep the way they reach the
Receiver to tweak the truth of Jesus
G's wanna teach ya to bust the heat puff
The cheeba sleep with a freak and leave her
With an STD itβ€²s deep bruh
Even your peeps preach to seek for the leeks of Egypt
Don't be deceived: what you sow you reap bruh
The meek ones feast but they check the meat, cause
The MCs'll feed ya beef with Jesus
And teach you to eat but I beseech ya:
To be the speaker for the priesthood
Esteem the meat unclean and teach the
New believer to please the Redeemer
Push in your seat say, "Peace," and leave bruh
These are the procedures they need to
See to be the believers they need to be. Cause
The mediaβ€²s got the weak ones in a sleeper
But we need the freaks to speak up

Disconnected, Iβ€²m in the world but I've been
Disconnected, I parted ways with old friends
Disconnected, Iβ€²m separate, I'll say it again
Disconnected, Iβ€²m disconnected get
Disconnected, I'm in the world but Iβ€²ve been
Disconnected, I parted ways with old friends
Disconnected, I'm separate, I'll say it again
Disconnected, Iβ€²m disconnected get

Disconnected, vexed, no longer impressed with
The next kid tryinβ€² to flex in the Lexus
Or the next chick dressed for a chest inspection;
Prep'ed to get sexed and disrespected
Dudes wanna move with a crew of fools who maneuver
The newer coupes and cruisers;
Pursue the mula choose the jewels
And the booze over the truth of Yeshua
Brew abusers, spew their puke up
In sewers, few shoot up with new drugs
New club, new thugs lumped they dudes up
They came through and let loose slugs with Lugers
Fuelinβ€² the feud with the blood to prove to the
Other crew what they do to losers
The loser crew blew up the club to prove who
Could fill the most funeral pews up
This is the pursuit of manure
Fools tryin' prove whoβ€²s crew is cooler
You just viewed how the beef gets chewed up;
You lose as much as the other crew does
'Cause you canβ€²t get to the new Jeru' in a SCUBA
Suit or a supped up Subaru plus
The jewels, and the stuff you lust, turns to doodoo
When God say's "I never knew you."

Disconnected, Iβ€²m in the world but Iβ€²ve been
Disconnected, I parted ways with old friends
Disconnected, I'm separate, Iβ€²ll say it again
Disconnected, I'm disconnected get
Disconnected, Iβ€²m in the world but I've been
Disconnected, I parted ways with old friends
Disconnected, Iβ€²m separate, I'll say it again
Disconnected, I'm disconnected get

Disconnected, eternally blessed, elected
30 A.D.- see the best rejected
Wrath in His soul and His flesh injected
Three days later- Heβ€²s resurrected
Heβ€²s straight major, Mediator, Creator
You have to behold and check His record
Immaculate scroll replays data
His acts from of old- they have to be told
He fashioned the globe, crafted black holes
That N.A.S.A. can't probe- better yet detect it
My DJβ€²s fader sets the method
But we convey what the text suggested
The task and the goal- to capture the souls
Of cats in the hole- they're after the gold
A freeway straight to disastrous roads
They need a Savior- letβ€²s inspect it:
'Nuff drugs, tough thugs love clubs-
Shrug as they bust slugs cause sins depths are hectic
Even the β€²burbs got the pervs and the nerds and the herbs
Slurring words- more or less expected
Who's next to flex with His majestic freshness
Expressed in the blessed message of hesed
Jesus gave us remade natures
So we stay prayed up and disconnected

Disconnected, I'm in the world but Iβ€²ve been
Disconnected, I parted ways with old friends
Disconnected, Iβ€²m separate, I'll say it again
Disconnected, Iβ€²m disconnected get
Disconnected, I'm in the world but Iβ€²ve been
Disconnected, I parted ways with old friends




Disconnected, I'm separate, Iβ€²ll say it again
Disconnected, I'm disconnected get disconnected
