Timothy Brindle
Philadelphia
[Verse 1: muzeONE]
Yahweh saves / chooses men to wage war with tongue lashers / spit chaffless / with classic / Script passage / with passion / live active / climb this mountain of life with staff in hand / set feet and stand / a raised cross governs the battle plan / failure to uplift the Gift gives our regiments busted lips / but a cross raised firmly in the firmament reigns triumphant / gravity gains ground / triceps got muscle spasms / endurance dies out / time takes toll on stamina / I'm about to black out / limbs are limp and vision blurs / then I'm suddenly seated on the Rock arms upheld by Aaron and Hur / brothers in common bond who lay down our lives in koinonia / this is how the battle is won in Rephidim and Philadelphia /
[Verse 2: Tha Pilgrim]
The whole ... ah gon run when God come / and have the whole universe pon lockdown / hold your spot on the corner and act dumb / back off put down your gun and back down / Christ Jesus ah da one main attraction / you see when Him come back ah bear action / like a shotgun pump double-action / broke down your whole plan like a fraction / you n'afraid ah no taxman but what you ah go do when death knock pon your door like a axeman / the Philly boy dem ah grab your attention / da mandem ah bring bear love in ah ya section /
[Verse 3: Mac the Doulos]
How good it is for us to dwell together in unity / true indeed, in word or deed, I influence you, you influence me / we're all different yet the same in a sense / sinners who met Christ saved from the wage of our sins / emcees I'm proud to stand next to you / brothers showing love to each other and not even homosexual / got the John 13:34-35 mandate / so we can't wait to greet cats with pounds hugs and handshakes / as iron sharpens iron so one man sharpens another / Lord willing some day we'll end up being some sharp brothers / we praise the Lord in solitude or with lots of dudes / when the fellows get together / one day we'll fellowship forever /
[Verse 4: J-Silas]
Philly / is it really the city of brotherly love / where cats will murk their cuz for money missin' from drugs / it's bug in the concrete jungle / gorillas go bananas with hammers hittin' kids while slurring hateful grammar / well Christ the only answer but they blinded / traded their soul for white gold their hearts cold they can't find it / everybody's Judas to live honest is foolish / contest to see who is the rudest / but my God's love it is the truest / if He came to Philly with the nail-prints they'd prolly ask me who this? / I know You rule us / teach and please school us / the only One to walk on water He is the coolest /
[Verse 5: J-Red]
We're brothers with a vision / my mans and I serve the slain Lamb / Adonai / it's a mission / spittin' with God precision without a doubt kid / the one thing this squad ain't missin' is passion / or lacking fellowship of a King / brethren and joint partners in Christ sufferings / you can find us where ... cause he's on the second floor of the first store at Antioch / where many flock to unify / alike minds in Christ like Philippians 2 verse 5 / grace and peace to the bred-rinos who embrace their streets / preach and speak / Elohim yo! /
[Verse 6: Iz-Real]
It's like David meets Jonathan / and we're devoted in brotherly love to one another / based on Romans 12:10 / regardless of skin Christ died for sins / other gods may sound close but truth differs like a homonym / stand on Scripture though we live in Sodom man / but I guess you can tell by the love within the specimen / separate men / God's children / dead to sin / the proof is in the music / play this in ya ear like violins / we don't just talk but walk out the covenant / forgive the falls and all flaws pray for our brethren / the body of Christ and through our struggling / God's grace is covering all faults / making us better men /
[Verse 7: R-Swift]
Philadelphia freedom / reppin' the God who delivered me well / ... we crack mics like liberty bells / all hail the grand entrance / of Christ Jesus / the Substitution / aka exactly what man is missing / we couldn't stand the distance / of this race .. / His grace spans to save man / and that's just His mannerisms / we serve the vision at work / the mission to spit the word that cuts through the flesh like circumcision / the urban division of .. and martyrs wrapped in the armor / spittin' the gospel like cats that pack Glocks and revolvers / we hit blocks for the Father / the Philadelphia revolution and ain't no stoppin' the saga /
[Verse 8: Timothy Brindle]
We're united to Christ / He's our Big Brother / for our triflin' strife Jesus did suffer / we tell and spit how we fell and slipped / no "L" is lit / well equipped with the fellowship / relish it / real militant when we serve with muze and Steve / so our lyrics spit upon the streets / still diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace / we rejoice and laugh and cry with each other / in the name of Christ we'll die for the brothers / this is love - laying down your life for friends / a priceless gem / 'cause I love the Christ in them /
[Verse 9: E.Miner]
M.O.D link from London / Illadelph second home / touchdown set the phone to roam / man's flown halfway 'cross the globe / in the hope that I find the fam standin' bold / that's just standard / man's got their business handled / they ain't entangled with civilian life / they travellin' light / things is deep in the 2-1-5 / clappin' heat in the streets a young .. takes an old heads life / .. fam hit the I-95 / head south to 52nd south where the mandem push the word out / the mission's urban / for cats wrapped up like a turban / in the Lord's love it's Antioch son ya heard them? /
[Verse 10: Shai Linne]
Lord what's going on in Philly? / It's hot in this place / You're rocking this space / I'm buggin' off the doctrines of grace / I be that rhyme-flower / spittin' for the Mind-Blower / God's soldier / Hit you with the 5 Solas / Scipture Alone / Grace Alone / Faith Alone / Christ Alone / Glory to God Alone on this microphone with a righteous tone / it's not about who's illest / my "Sixth Sense" is tellin' me that Christ is more "Unbreakable" than Bruce Willis / we truth dealers / hope you feel us / what my crew spill is healthier / Lyrical Theology live from Philadelphia / because of the Lamb's death / forever we'll stand blessed / and triumphant like Rocky on top of the Art Museum steps /
[Verse 11: Stephen the Levite]
We break cheesesteaks / eat grape seeds / lace beats / skate / reap saved peeps / rake streets / stay meek / make jeans shake / hands greet / leave grace and peace / feast slain Lamb's meat / priest laid hands / sweet savor / the Lord is pleased to be in the midst / Leviticus 3 to 1 John 1:3 / divine fellowship / sip tea / globs and globs of honey please / spit these poems / bring the Lord's sword split these domes / like a light saber slice these clones / we Philadelphia's resurrected army like the valley of dry bones / whether you dwell in Phily or not let it dwell in you / Hebrews 13:1 / let Philadelphia continue /
