A-M
The Ambassador Lyrics

It's the AM, reppin' the I A-m
The Ambassador is representing IAM, and it's currently morning

Hands in the sky wave 'em, listen as I praise him
The Ambassador is prompting his listeners to lift their hands and join him in praising God

I am in the building and I'm feeling like a lion
The Ambassador feels strong and powerful, like a lion in a building

I was caged up like a spice and now I'm pepped up like some cayenne
The Ambassador was previously restrained and dull like a spice in a cage, but now he's lively like cayenne pepper

I don't get it twisted, man I know how weak that I am
The Ambassador recognizes his own weaknesses and doesn't want anyone to misunderstand his strength

I'm a PM but you see I'm under God and he's a giant
The Ambassador is just a regular person, but he's supported by God who is like a giant

Jesus, he's the King, you know that he's above every king
Jesus is the ultimate ruler and is greater than any other earthly king

He'll be in the supreme like a pizza full of everything
Jesus is the ultimate judge, with complete knowledge and understanding of everything

Yeah you know it, I could blow it like a hurricane
The Ambassador knows that he has the potential to make mistakes and ruin things, like a destructive hurricane

Walkin' clean, only some perfect stuff that's in every vein
The Ambassador strives to live a pure and righteous life, with every aspect of him reflecting perfection

Grace came like heavy rain and drop, fall
God's grace was poured out abundantly on the Ambassador, like a heavy rain shower

Because of that to be frank, I'm back, hot dog
Due to God's grace, the Ambassador feels renewed and confident

I saw what Isaiah saw, drop jaw
The Ambassador had a profound spiritual experience, like Isaiah did, which left him speechless

The Son's bright and his Pops raw
Jesus is brilliant and his Father is all-powerful

His glory's thick, glorious
God's glory is magnificent and can be felt and seen everywhere

Pierced at three points, Robert Horry-ish
Jesus was pierced in three places, similar to basketball player Robert Horry's iconic game-winning shots

Hands, feet, and side; can he survive?
Jesus was wounded in his hands, feet, and side, and the Ambassador questions whether he could have survived such injuries

You ran Pete inside and said 'man, he's alive'
The Ambassador alludes to the Apostle Peter running inside the empty tomb and finding out that Jesus had risen from the dead

Still on the same mission that your man began with
The Ambassador is continuing the same mission that Jesus began

Lyrically spraying Jesus on your mental canvas
The Ambassador is using his lyrics to paint a picture of Jesus in the minds of his listeners

Take it for granted, but he used to be a famine
People often take for granted that they have access to spiritual sustenance, but the Ambassador remembers a time when he experienced a spiritual famine

No Christian rapper, I was suckin' up the bandwidth
Before becoming a Christian rapper, the Ambassador was using up all his mental and emotional energy on worldly pursuits

Man I took a sad turn like a planet
The Ambassador went through a rough patch in his life, like a planet that's no longer in the sun's orbit

I'm guilty no matter how you slice it like a sandwich
The Ambassador recognizes that he is guilty of sin, no matter how you look at it, just like every slice in a sandwich is still part of the same guilty meal

Standard is the standard, it's the standard that you can't switch
God's standard for righteousness is unchanging and cannot be compromised or altered

I understand the standard, but there's something that you can't miss
The Ambassador knows God's standard, but wants to emphasize one crucial aspect

There's a cross for just such emergencies
The cross is the solution to the problem of sin and the emergency of missing God's standard

Only for sinners, and I'm just the worst of these
The cross is meant for sinners, and the Ambassador considers himself the worst of them

For many I appeared mighty fine
To many people, the Ambassador seemed impressive and respectable

But I've always been the 1 and I've never been the 99
The Ambassador has always been the one who stands out and doesn't follow the crowd, rather than blending in with the majority

I'm a Son of Adam, so every atom's depraved
The Ambassador is human and therefore every part of him is tainted by sin

So every atom has strayed, every atom has frayed
As a result of sin, every aspect of the Ambassador's being has gone astray and become damaged

Thanks to the Last Adam, our every atom gets raised
Through Jesus, the Last Adam, every part of the Ambassador's being can be resurrected and restored

So with every last atom, the Last Adam gets praise
The Ambassador gives glory and honor to Jesus for the work he has done in redeeming every part of the Ambassador's being

I'm exaltin' Jesus 'cause to me it's so appropriate
The Ambassador is lifting up Jesus because it's the right and fitting thing to do

The holiest, owing us something special, check the holy writ
Jesus is holy and therefore deserves our reverence and respect, which is confirmed in the holy scriptures

Checkin' for that Zoeist, life – you should know he's it
The Ambassador is searching for and proclaiming the source of true life, which is Jesus

The life is light and homie there'll be no eclipse
Jesus is the light of life and there is no darkness or shadow that can obscure or diminish his brightness

Check the flow we spit, check the blogs and tweets
The Ambassador invites his listeners to examine his lyrics and other online content to see if it reflects an authentic faith in Jesus

Not perfect, but check the life because talk is cheap
The Ambassador acknowledges that he's not flawless, but encourages people to look at the way he lives his life as evidence of his faith

In fact, let's get up like frogs that leap
The Ambassador is calling his listeners to action, to jump up and join him in proclaiming Jesus

You wanna peep how Jesus left the tomb emptied out of all but sheets?
The Ambassador is asking if his listeners want to see the evidence of Jesus' resurrection, such as the empty tomb with only linen cloth left behind

That's the indicator, he was buried, cuz
The fact that the linens were left behind in the empty tomb is proof that Jesus was buried there

That's the vindicator, he's who he said he was
The empty tomb is also proof that Jesus is who he claimed to be, including the Son of God and the Messiah

Not to be hated 'cause Mary's son's Mary's God
Jesus should not be rejected or despised just because he was born from Mary and is also divine

Now see us at the Son's very God of very God
The Ambassador and his listeners can now recognize Jesus as not just Mary's son, but also the divine Son of God

I know it's very odd that Jesus Christ said he's manna
The Ambassador acknowledges that it's surprising that Jesus would compare himself to manna, which is a type of bread from heaven

More than the best thing since life's bread
The Ambassador believes that Jesus is more than just something good, but is actually the source of life itself

But with a mic I would like to invite heads
The Ambassador wants to use his music and message to invite people to come and experience Jesus for themselves

To see the Son who shines bright like the light pads
The Ambassador wants people to see the radiance and brilliance of Jesus, who is like a bright light shining all around
