Let me tell you how this all came to be
I was sittin', diggin' in the Word Matthew 23
I'm thinkin' this is it finally, victory
Then the Holy Spirit hit quick, convicted me
Could it be? It's just all hypocrisy
I'm a modern day Pharisee, quite possibly
Tell me, what's the use if I know the law
But the true and living God I never knew at all
I gotta practice what I preach
It don't matter what I'm saying on these beats
In the church or when I'm on the streets
Tell me what's the use if I don't practice what I preach
If that's the case I should expect the worst
No surprise why the world would reject the church
I mean, why would you respect my turf
If I don't comply myself and respect it first
Brothers and sisters in Christ this is a wake up call
To myself included, I can relate to y'all
Right now's the time I gotta start livin' it
The last thing I wanna be is a hypocrite
I gotta practice what I preach
It don't matter what I'm saying on these beats
In the church or when I'm on the streets
Tell me what's the use if I don't practice what I preach
Make no mistake it's a must that I be honest y'all
What's in the dark shall come to light, that's a promise y'all
I'm know what some will say, "Ain't no surprise to me
I ain't a Christian so none of this applies to me"
Indeed, that's why often from the start
I sincerely pray that the Lord will soften up your heart
Until then be aware of any false prophets
Vicious wolves disguised as sheep that look harmless
Don't be fooled before you follow suit
I mean really take a look and recognize them by they fruit
The good news is even as I'm writin' this
I realize only faith brings forth righteousness
Yet I can't neglect how I behave
Cause faith without works will only end up in the grave
Right now's the time we gotta start livin' it
The last thing you wanna be is a hypocrite
We gotta practice what we preach
We gotta practice what we preach
In the church or when we in the streets
Tell me what's the use if we don't practice what we preach
Come on put your hands up if you gotta stand up
This hypocrisy has got to stop it's time to man up
I said this hypocrisy has got to stop it's time to, it's time to
Come on put your hands up if you gotta stand up
This hypocrisy has got to stop it's time to man up
I said this hypocrisy has got to stop it's time to, it's time to
I gotta practice what I preach
We gotta practice what we preach
In the church or when we in the streets
Tell me what's the use if we don't practice what we preach
I gotta practice what I preach
We gotta practice whatwe preach
In the church or when we in the streets
Tell me what's the use if we don't practice what we preach
