Talk A Lot
The Ambassador Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every time its time to chop chop
Seems like everybody get all sleepy now(huhuh)
What you wanna hear me(you walking away,its ambassador,i ain't finish i ain't make my point,c'mon lemmie make my point man)
(chorus)
You think i talk alot
But what i talk about
I'm hoping you listen
This is nutrition
You and god how's that for a new vision
Girly just got her hair and her nails did
But come here i could help you know what the nails did
And two keeps you sure and plus one on the side
But I'm a tell bout the one who got one on his side
(verse 1)
So am like it hard hitting
So am like the raw spitting
I like em both when they yolked and what of god's written
The father exalted the son we should all kiss em
He's risen,he's lord of all not just of all christians
This is our mission
This is offition
Its good news for you no more partition
You're free to drink from what the no more bars missing
Living water
You'll give the order I'll start mixing
Wait there nothing to mix

He urges his listeners to pay attention as what he has to say is nutrition for the soul and potentially transformative. The second verse delves even deeper, speaking about the importance of faith in Jesus Christ and how it's the key to liberation and fulfillment in life.

I don't understand something
I am confused about something
Every time its time to chop chop
Whenever it's time to get to the point
Seems like everybody get all sleepy now(huhuh)
People seem to lose interest or get bored
What you wanna hear me(you walking away,its ambassador,i ain't finish i ain't make my point,c'mon lemmie make my point man)
I want to make my point and I feel like you are not giving me a chance to fully express myself
You think i talk alot
You believe that I speak too much
But what i talk about
But the topics I discuss
Could get up in you and then you could really walk it out
Could have a profound impact on you and motivate you to take action
I'm hoping you listen
I hope that you pay attention to me
This is nutrition
This is spiritually nourishing
You and god how's that for a new vision
How about focusing on your relationship with God as a new perspective
Girly just got her hair and her nails did
A woman just got her hair and nails done
But come here i could help you know what the nails did
Let me tell you what the nails represent in regards to the crucifixion of Jesus
And two keeps you sure and plus one on the side
And having two legs keeps you stable and one arm outstretched represents crucifixion
But I'm a tell bout the one who got one on his side
But I'll tell you about Jesus who had one nail in his side during the crucifixion
So am like it hard hitting
I like to emphasize the truth
So am like the raw spitting
I like to express the truth bluntly
I like em both when they yolked and what of god's written
I appreciate when entertainment and faith are combined, and what is written in the Bible
The father exalted the son we should all kiss em
God gave Jesus a high position and we should respect and worship him
He's risen,he's lord of all not just of all christians
Jesus has risen from the dead and is the lord of everyone, not just Christians
This is our mission
This is our purpose
This is offition
This is a call to action
Its good news for you no more partition
It's good news for you because there are no more barriers
You're free to drink from what the no more bars missing
You are free to receive what was previously inaccessible to you
Living water
The Holy Spirit
You'll give the order I'll start mixing
You give the command and I'll begin to incorporate the Holy Spirit into your life
Wait there nothing to mix
Actually, there is nothing to blend because the Holy Spirit is already present in you
