Ambassador - My Clothes, My Hair lyrics
rate me[Chorus] <br />So many people are hurt inside <br />Don't even know him even though they might have heard of God <br />Can He love me? Will He hear my prayer? <br />Or, think I'm ugly when He see's my clothes or sees my hair <br /> <br />I heard of a Savior heard He bled and died <br />We could give Him our sins and we could get his life <br />Yet I wonder for me if He will He even care <br />When He sees my clothes or when he sees my hair <br /> <br />[Verse One] <br />Let me get up in this verse right now <br />I'm thinking back to when we first got down <br />I only groped but when you searched I found <br />Snatched quick though you knew how I acted <br />That's what's sick, I was a pick that you drafted? <br />A backflip with a split couldn't be more backwards <br />In fact that's classic <br />I love to see your tactics <br />But I think back to when I'd shrink back on the real B <br />It's real deep; I really thought you could never feel me <br />Cause my shirts were double X when really I was a small <br />Double shirts for the effect when really it wasn't called for <br />Pants baggie- they sagged and dragged on the floor <br />But I was never that boy to show the back of his draws <br />But I did hang, kicked slang, me and my boys did <br />Rocked doo-rags till it put a crease in our foreheads <br />And on the surface others said we were worthless <br />But I'm glad you purposed to love us and you made us your purchase <br /> <br />[Chorus] <br /> <br />[Verse Two] <br />I was convinced of your power so I was down to comply with Your standard <br />Your God the Father- Creator- I was your product <br />But I noticed my focus it wasn't on You; my hope was you would <br />Meet me heaven but as for earth I'd roll with the hood <br />I really didn't want your heaven- just didn't want hell more <br />I really didn't want your presence- just didn't want hell more <br />I didn't know you were beautiful <br />You made advances but in fact I'd push you back like a cuticle <br />I was a bad date <br />But, now I know what it was you got lumped in with some people like a crab cake <br />They elevate their own; they celebrate <br />They make their own what's right <br />They say it's what you like <br />Everything else- they make it wrong <br />I'm glad you don't hate our music or fashion <br />Unless these things and how you intend us to use 'em are clashin' <br />Cause for us, this is just a part of the culture <br />But it's the reason why some think they shouldn't try to approach ya <br /> <br />[Bridge] <br />Man sees the outside <br />But God sees the inside <br />No matter your outside <br />Through faith He'll come inside (2x) <br /> <br />[Chorus] <br /> <br />[Verse Three] <br />I could weep <br />So many people never heard of the name <br />Yeah they heard the word "Jesus" but never heard of His fame <br />They feel cut off from Him <br />Not just cause of their sin <br />But because of their clothes, hair, or their color of skin <br />And they've been afloat- drowning in sin, we're in a boat <br />Yet they've never been approached <br />Cause we see them as different folks <br />God's offer's universal- yeah <br />He wants you in His circle- yeah <br />He wants you in the doo-rag <br />And He wants you in the purple hair <br />You can just take a cursory <br />Glance at the word and see <br />God made the plans of diversity <br />Is there one godly ethnic group <br />In the church should we all wear one polyester suit <br />Or maybe rock sandals and robes, no ham I suppose <br />When we meet maybe we should only eat salmon and loaves <br />Should we only like the organ or the violin <br />I'm inquirin', I admire men up in the choir and women <br />But one minute, why do some people assume that God's iPod <br />Got no tunes that got the "boom-bap" <br />He's with White, with Black, with Lat <br />With Asian with Rock, Country, Jazz, with Rap<br /><br />
