PHANATIK - Top 10 lyrics

rate me

I’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)
