PHANATIK - Top 10 lyrics
rate meI’m looking around at the crime in our city, and people are asking “Where’s it gonna end?”
I come at it from a different angle, I’m like “Where does it begin?”
Cause I think we got a problem pleasing the Lord, that’s the beginning of our trouble right there, look…
I don’t rep your city or my city, I only represent the Lord God who gets busy
In the airwaves is fair game for His air campaign
If you know Him I know you’re tired of what their bands playing
But don’t worry every contradictory Tom, Dick, and Harry’s gonna have his day
In court, in short, what I’m saying is, the way it is now ain’t the way it’s gonna stay
In thought, word, or deed, if you fought and worked against what he decreed
If you sought and searched for sin and then pleased you before you please Him
Then please take heed judgement is coming at a break-neck speed
The Judge cloaked in a black robe
My fault, that’s not a robe that He’s wrapped in, that’s smoke, that’s so gangsta
God is so just in all His judgements
That when judges those He judged they’ll say “thank ya”
Like it was such a joy to see righteousness work well
And I can see now how in your sight I deserve hell
That’s the last pleasure that the wicked will have
Right before they get to witness God’s ridiculous wrath
(Chorus)
(Count’em) 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, ways to please the Lord
Is He pleased or is He grieved, you we need to please the Lord
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, ways to please the Lord
Not just do’s and do not’s man, but rockin’ with the Lord’s Top Ten
This life can leave you feeling boxed in
Looking for ways out, let’s weigh out your options
Cause it ain’t nothing wrong with options
But it’s odd when not one out of your top ten is not sin
You’ll spend your whole life playing out of bounds strictly
Now I’m about to name them you should count’em down with me
What could #10 be? It’s a four letter word that begins with an “E” (oh, envy)
This is a lack of gratitude for what you have cause you don’t have what he has so now you mad at dude
#9 is lying, telling them tall tales selling them false details hoping they buy-in
Buying yourself (time) or buying yourself (shine)
Flying on stealth relying on “self” is crime in itself
You failed another test of the will, we’ll be back with more but first we got to pay these bills
(Chorus)
Just before the break, we just before the 8th
Taking what’s not yours, breaking in safes, picking locked drawers kicking in locked doors
Sticking up hot boys, cheating on taxes just to get back a lot more
#7 is getting in the bed with anyone that never said, “I do” at your wedding
#6 is laying cats six-feet deep, sending peeps to go meet that Grim Reap
#5 will determine how long you stay alive, it’s tied to how you honor your pops & ya mom
#4 is what I’m sure you would have guessed
Trusting the Lord to provide for your needs while you enjoy His rest
Coming in at #3, is what can be seen as worship, don’t go attaching God’s name to things that don’t deserve it
And #2 is taking the stuff that God made, and making it your god like it can take His job
And #1 is keeping God #1 and not placing any idea above or in front of Him
And #1 reason why #1 is #1 is you have to break this to break any of the other ones
(Chorus)
