Christsyde/Bonus Track

Lyrics by: Cedric Scott and Derek Drew

(Verse 1)
A one, two
you know I got the beats for your crew
but not them type of lyrics
that be souinding like do-do
because I only kicks the words
with that life giving nature
acceptance of The Savior
change your behavior

Because we live in a time
where selfishness be the norm and
anything goes
and there's no
real right and wrong and
won't be conformed
to this world that is sinking
represented by the wickedness
reflected in man's thinking

They're in trouble,
better do some searching like the hubble
find life in Christ fast hurry and on the double
cause the way that your living
is making God wanna vomit
that's why I come around once in a while like Haley's Comet

And the trail that I leave behind check it, it's my record
and plus I'm getting dirty looks from the skeptics
so hit me for my trials
hit me for my faithfulness
hit me for the Lord Jesus Christ
who I represent

(Hook)
North Side, South Side, East Side, West Side
All yawl better get right cause
Christsyde be the best side

(Verse 2)
Swing Low, Sweet Chariot
me betray Christ like Judas Iscariot (Nigh-Never)
the reason why
is cause I'm on a different vibe
strictly wanna glorify
The God who died with me in mind (Crucified)

Check the representation, how I'm Living
behind closed doors, I want my walk to match my talk
unbelievers need The Savior
and their radars
tells them if I'm artificial or got the flavor

That's why "to be" is more important than "to do"
what happens in me not to me is what I value
trophies rust, pain is inevitable
I'm in this until I'm old as a Negro Spiritual

God wants to break me, shape me
like a sculpture
to use me for His glory in my culture
so hit me for my trials,
hit me for my faithfulness
hit me for the Lord Jesus Christ who I represent

(Hook)

(Verse 3)
Well nobody knows
the troubles I've seen
but I'm fully persuaded
my debt for my life Christ paid it
set free from sins debris
now I see I got to be salty

Cause I ain't down with no deceivers
exposing make-believers
and the frauds and the fakes
over cuts out the crates
abortion anti, Christ pro-life don't be dumb
Can you feel what I'm saying
or are you numb?

If so, follow my flow
as I kick the bolistics
but not with hieroglyphics
speech plain enough
I'm lifting up the Messiah (higher)
freeing those from life's death row from the fire

To come on those without the Son indwelling
and this be the real "Final Cal"l that I'm yelling
So, hit me for my trials
hit me for my faithfulness
hit me for the Lord Jesus Christ who I represent

(Hook)
