Forever
The Cross Movement Lyrics

Break yourself and don't try ta
Get real and don't pretend

Front on your man T O N I the C, don't even try to lie to me
Don't deceive me or pretend to be someone you're not

If it's real then you know how it's gotta be
If it's authentic, you know the way it should be

By now you know my motta
By now you know my motto

Aint nobody here tryin to flex brovado
Nobody here is trying to show off

You know the signachatto, its's Christ we follow
You know the symbol, we follow Christ

If He's Lamont, then I wanna be Rallo
If He's a leader, then I want to follow Him

I know, it's hard in the land of the lollipops
I know, it's difficult in this world of distractions

Where they're up in your face every time the trolly stops
Where they're confronting you every chance they get

God gots folly cops, but before folly starts folly stops
God has foolish people watching, but foolishness stops before it even begins

For the last and evil, its gonna take more then stain glass and steeple
To fight against the last and evil, it will take more than traditional religious symbols

But a distinctive people, who only bow down to the Regal
But a unique group of people who only worship the Sovereign

The One who didnt count it robbery to be called equal
The One who didn't consider it theft to be called equal to us

They the ones wit no fear, they the ones who stay clear
They are the ones without fear, they are the ones who stay away

Of the wolf and the wolf in sheep's gear, Word bond
Of the deceivers and the deceivers disguised as righteous, it's a serious matter

They know the different between Luke 9:50 and the whole book of 1 John
They understand the distinction between different biblical passages

Watch the con, He's an artist
Beware of the deception, it's an art

Makin you feel rabbit when you know that the tortiose, taught us
Making you feel rushed when you know that being patient is important

Who's gonna win, only because a loving God gotta deal wit sin
Who will win, only because a loving God has to address sin

Because He loves man
Because He loves humanity

More then your striff, more then you pain
More than your struggles, more than your pain

Cause to live is Christ and to die is gain
Because living is through Christ and dying brings ultimate reward

So what it matters when...
So why does it matter when...

We're gonna live Forever
We will live forever

So if I'm hit by a car, or taken out by disease
So if I'm killed in an accident or succumb to an illness

You aint gotta enough bullets in your gun, man please
You don't have enough ammunition, so don't even try

let me spit this like lama
Let me speak this like a wise teacher

And throw the Word wit a hawk like Toma
And deliver the Word with accuracy and precision

So that man can see unlike nirvana
So that people can gain true understanding, unlike the illusion of nirvana

Heaven's rulled by a unique, excellent, magnifacent persona
Heaven is governed by an extraordinary, wonderful, magnificent being

If you say you goin, you cant stand before Him showin
If you claim to be going there, you can't stand before Him pretending

On your life credit report still owein
With your life's record still in debt

Cause the grass you growin
Because the things you're pursuing

Is the kinda of grass thats gonna catch mowin
Are the things that will lead to your downfall

Ladies get your hands up, fellas get your fist clinchin
Ladies raise your hands, gentlemen clench your fists

When we gonna stand up, dig in and war trenchin
When will we rise up, dig in and fight without backing down

If you want the whole school to feel theredemption
If you want everyone to experience redemption

You cant use any tool, it takes Godwrenchin
You can't rely on your own methods, it takes divine intervention

To turn a whole generation 180
To completely change an entire generation

O hear the whispers of the fat lady
Listen to the warnings and signs of impending doom

The only reason she aint singin right now is
The only reason she isn't singing right now is

God gots His hand on the volume baby
God is in control and preventing disaster

Real patient ain't it
It requires real patience, isn't it?

But don't take His kindness for weakness
But don't mistake His kindness as a sign of weakness

Cause we livin in a time of divine sweatness
Because we're living in a time of divine mercy

Cause there will come a time when He says, "Enough meekness"
Because there will come a time when He says, "Enough humility"

And men will scatter to the hills likthe Horse runnin of the Preakness
And people will panic and flee like horses running in the Preakness

Harlme shake yourself til you meet Him
Wake up and prepare yourself until you meet Him

Though alot of men front, they know they need Him
Although many men pretend, they know they need Him

Watch how you treat Him
Pay attention to how you treat Him

You might as well join, cause your sure cant beat Him
You might as well join Him, because you can't defeat Him

He's the one who put the real free, in the word freedom
He's the one who made true freedom possible

Especially for those who are livin in the struggle
Especially for those who are living in difficulties

Jus tryin to eat and you cant shake trouble
Just trying to survive and unable to avoid trouble

The real rough stubble, the real Barn Rubble
The real challenges, the real hardships

All my raw dogs, no leash no muzzle
All my authentic friends, no restraints or restrictions

You wanna roll doubles, and stand in smoke huddles
You want to achieve great success and be surrounded by like-minded people

And feel like the hubble, bein shot out the shuttle
And feel like a star being launched into space

But thats where its subtle, pop goes the bubble
But that's where it becomes deceptive, and suddenly the illusion is shattered

And you fall back down to earth, and splash in a puddle
And you come crashing back to reality, like splashing into a puddle

The cost of the trip was oh so pricey
The cost of the journey was extremely high

You're mad at the world all hot and spicey
You're angry at the world, full of heat and anger

Then wit the quickness of a swoosh like Nike
Then with the speed of a Nike swoosh

Satan did his thing and dug up in your psyche
Satan manipulated your mind and thoughts

Cause all this life gives is temporary relief
Because all this life offers is temporary comfort

And all you really had was temporary belief
And all you really had was temporary faith

You couldnt really see the amazin deciet
You couldn't see through the incredible deception

And now the threat is eternal defeat
And now the danger is eternal failure

Thats why we say, get a Bible and read it in its entirety
That's why we advise you to get a Bible and read it completely

And let God deal wit you and your propriety
And let God handle you and your sense of self-importance

Check out all the cats of noteriety the variety
Take a look at all the famous people, the range

Of ways they deal wit the ills of society
Of ways they handle the problems of society

Let it bring sobriety, let it make you firey
Let it bring clarity, let it ignite your passion

Cause its gonna take more then a slice of apple piety
Because it will take more than a superficial display of religious devotion

Once you realize that there's sin and symptom
Once you realize that there is sin and its consequences

And there's lost souls, and things that tempt em
And there are lost souls and things that tempt them

And to Jesus there's rest and redemption
And to Jesus, there is rest and salvation

You're covered by a Hebrew 401K pension
You are protected by a divine retirement plan

Not to mention, you learned you lesson
Not to mention, you have learned your lesson

No more vexin, no more stressin
No more bothering, no more worrying

No more guessin, no more Heaven, and hell questions
No more guessing, no more questions about Heaven and Hell

No more just livin for the blessins, no more dressin
No more living only for blessings, no more pretending

Forget the ice and agression, not my wife no caressin
Forget the material possessions and aggression, not seeking affection from my wife

I don't care if she's Bodiqua, Australlian, or Texan
I don't care about her ethnicity or nationality

And you're not scared to scream that to your whole section
And you're not afraid to proclaim that to everyone around you

I'm not livin for this life, cause I'm livin for the next one
I'm not living for this temporary life, because I'm living for the eternal life
