Slave Trade
Verse 1: I'm a living witness, matter fact I am the living proof I'm stating facts I know for certain so you know its truth Being born in sin's a sure lock, but most don't have a clue Like Alex Haley I'm writing just to show u my roots A Slave to sin's what I was, wasn't a misfit Cause I was enslaved to him And clutched to him like a stick shift My life back then, it was a total disaster But I loved it, simply because I loved pleasing my Master Sinfulness chased me telling me it was all good Impurity raped me and then ruined my manhood Pride kicked my behind like a frat boy that can't stand wood I loved it the whole time, I thought they treated ya man good Passionately pursued all my passions Took all my thoughts and words, made em verbs, gave em action It's the surface I'm scratching Slavery to Sin used to look so attractive Used to love the life I lived, thought it would be everlasting Hook: Those old days, I'm not going back to my old ways There was a slave trade, this is the slave trade I'm brand new! My whole life's been renewed Cause I was a part of the slave trade, this is the slave trade (x2) Verse 2: Sin had me trapped, I didn't know he was burdensome But then everything changed when somebody said , 'I'm gon' purchase him' And he was talking bout' me, I'd never heard of him Said he was the creator who had some redemptive purposes I started bugging! My master sin started murking him Then called me in like backup I beat him and started cursing him Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com My sin's a beast, look at Him, my dude just murdered him But then he rose up, brushed himself off, and said, 'now start worshiping!” Externally, your boy was light skinned, I liked sin Ain't know my heart was dark, until Christ brought the light in Came in conquering like a Viking Finally saw the yoke around my neck was heavy, It wasn't no lite sin Now peep the details, Sin has been derailed Christ paid for me with his blood, we see it wasn't a cheap sale He took my place when I sinful and ungodly And He did it with one body, two pieces of wood, and three nails Hook Verse 3: The slave trade was my Emancipation proclamation His mere proclamation, it led to my emancipation Now the contemplation of the consummation Awaits the celebration of His congregations conjugation I was curious, “Who is this Kurios?” He said his name was King Jesus, and he made me his dulos (his slave) The fact that he was a king immediately got me thinking For him to stoop low and die for me mean he's a Suffering Servant Like Lebron James the King abandoned his home To come down south and wade in another zone He came and got me, that's what we call adopting Died for me, His enemy, that's how he shows his agape Surrendered all my rights, you could say that he copped me Because he's metamorphic, that's probably why he rocks me He's my one desire, it's only him that I'm needing Freed from sin to be his slave, but his slavery's feeling like freedom Hook
