[Intro]
One brother I have loved another I have hated
I'm the Author and the Finisher of exactly what is sacred
[Verse 1]
I came out shook, took life by the heel
I'm birthright crooked always looking to steal
Cooking hot meal inside this treacherous steel
Pot, “Everything you got for a drop is that a deal we got?”
(You've been got)
Our mother co-conspired
Touch my arms to see your brother came deceitfully attired
These animal men, hemmed in animal skin
To blend a panel of the cannibal with tangible sin
Preamble to a patriarch, a scandalous hymn
Like God made a vandal His friend
Dismantle my brother left caressing defeat
Crying, “Father do you have any blessing for me?”
I climbed a ladder like a nightmare heavenly scene
A stone for a pillow make the dustiest dreams
Traverse the stairway to heaven angel airplay
Stalk my Master like Tiger on a fairway
Forgive me I'm in the house of the Lord
He didn't say a single word or try to settle the score
Tested my mettle, composition was poor
But your purpose and will were still to give me more
A book rhyme pages stacked like stones
An alter to the vision of Jehovah enthroned
I cheated my way to the top and you let me
Plus your mercy waterfall, when I was thirsty, how it wet me
[Hook]
All the world will be your enemy more than a few
They will catch you when they do they k** will you
[Post-Hook]
So be cunning be fast
By your clever tricks your people will outlast
[Verse 2]
Silfaying on the down in the sunset light
Grazing is profound when its done just right
Blades of the brown withered gra** spun tight
Come bite by the ground river Giver of Life
Shiver at the thought of the blight white blindness
Fiver fight or flight or the night might find us
I got a feeling that I can't trust my family
Sandleford to Watership Down found tragedy
Sensing the fear, I'm ready to bolt
I got my ears pinned tuned in to danger remote
I was on some Dionne Warwick tip type a palmreading
Visions of my family bowing down to me
Clowning my steez the envy I produced
I had a cross colors rainbow double bubble goose
Never one for subtle always running at the mouth
And so my brothers took a shot to try and turn this mother out
But you burned another route, spurning every doubt
Keeper of the kingdom, come from servant house
Fervent I would never falter, not on your life
But when the bed was finally made I laid with Potiphar's wife
It's like a conjugal knife, I lived a prodigal life
I'm both the one who ran away and the one who sat tight
“Is that right, that your really rejoice
At the return of your sons?” Some boys will b-boys
[Hook]
[Post-Hook]
[Outro]
All the world will be your enemy
But I have overcome the world
I walk ahead of you
So meet me in the Galilee
The race does not belong
To the swift nor the strong
But I will lift you up
If you'll only follow Me
I came deceitful
You still knew me
Gave me what was not mine
Your mercy is great
I came deceitful
I came deceitful
You saw me under the tree
I came deceitful
I came
