Ridiculous

  • Skillfully tested, rhythmically possessed with rhymes
    And when it was time, Jah gave me the mic after he blessed it
    He said share the loving, prepare them for the Second Coming
    Beware of the false prophets, because they got my people bugg'n

    Put on the full armor, cause you know these fools they're gonna
    want to
    Talk behind your back, but stay away from the drama
    You know that I'm gonna keep you safe inside the palm of my hand

    'Cause you the man and that's word to your mama
    So give it to 'em, it's themselves that they're fool'n
    Gotta head of the game too quick, what they lack is ol' school'n

    You know who's who, whether or not I'm talking to your crew
    It's up to you to keep it true, nuff respect due.

    [Chorus]
    Dem test me crew, but dem can't get with this
    Dem all the same, talking wickedness
    Your styles been played, and I'm already sick of it
    Them so ridiculous, them so ridiculous.

    Original Rude Boy, we bring the styles
    Ain't heard this in a while, check the stats, review my profile

    They dime a dozen, can't understand why all the fuss'n
    Known for talking loud but they really saying nothing
    With every word you poison my mental concept
    Negative be the topic, somebody's got to stop it
    And clear your mind and continue to come alive
    And he love, we love, bring it back, come, rewind.

    [Chorus]

    To all my peoples that be keeping it real
    They know the time and they know the deal
    To all my peoples that are down with this crew
    We keep it live cause this one's for you

    [Chorus]

    "Christ"

    You're not who they say you are
    They made you the enemy
    (CHRIST-Jah flesh; CHRIST-Light within; CHRIST- Beginning
    and the end)
    Taken something so beautiful
    Painted a new picture that makes me sick
    (CHRIST-Witness; CHRIST-Living one; CHRIST-First and the
    last)
    Feed our minds confusion
    Sweeten the taste of pollution.
    (CHRIST-Word life; CHRIST-Resurrect; CHRIST-Everlasting
    Jah)

    [Chorus]
    Some people call you father
    Maybe you could set me free
    These people hate each other
    But you've always been there for me

    I refuse to be like you
    Without life, caving in
    (CHRIST-Jah flesh; CHRIST-Light within; CHRIST- Beginning
    and the end)
    I surrender, giving up all that is me
    Yielding to you
    (CHRIST-Witness; CHRIST-Living one; CHRIST-First and the
    last)
    Shape me in my brokeness
    Empower me forever
    (CHRIST-Word life; CHRIST-Resurrect; CHRIST-Everlasting
    Jah)

    [Chorus]

    I know you will complete this work started in me
    I need you more than ever now that I know who you are
    I know you will complete this work started in me
    I need you more than ever now that I've come so far Writer/s: NICHOLAS CAGE, PHIL ROY
