And though they spread propaganda I won't respond because the Lord is my defender Well I refuse to be violent 'cause God is not silent When the wicked and deceitful ones opened their mouths Against me their fighting with lies and backbiting With words full of hatred you see them surround See them attack a man without any cause I won't retaliate, I'm not fighting their wars They try to magnify the Christian man's flaws But I refuse to war with this pack of outlaws (CHORUS) What's good for the goose is not good for the gander See them a promoting them false propaganda Dilute the Word with them secular agenda Talk about them Christians--me know them a pretender Come out of the darkness from whence you have hidden Stop promoting slackness, you know it is forbidden A serious talk this is not just a jingle Light and the dark--the two nah go mingle (BRIDGE) (CHORUS) So see the hypocrites them a go along down there Su su 'pon the corner with a ray ray ray No bother listen what the gossiper say Me no mix or mingle inna them a lay lay So I won't be distracted I won't get sidelined I won't be disrupted with God on my mind I'm a man on a mission with work to be done I'll fulfill my vision of unity as one (CHORUS) (HYPOCRITES) Well persecution is a promise It's a guarantee If they're not against us then you should worry So no bother to fret--it's not a big thing You'll never find a servant treated better than his King! (CHORUS 2X) (BRIDGE).
