Flame - Absolute Truth lyrics

If what we sayin’ is true, then it changes everything. [Chorus:] A Catholic man holds his rosary Islam holds the Qur'an While dudes on the streets tryna hold on to time While Buddhists look for peace Hindus and Sikhs The truth is absolute, that’s why I hold on to mine [?2] God’s plan is to make from our nations one pride[?] Listen, can we talk religion And world views for a minute? (We just talkin’) They say the White man Jesus (Hoodwinked) Got the Black man deceived (Bamboozled) I can hear ‘em now in the prisons (Run amuck) All the Five Percenters sayin’ what we believe (Y’all know) Black Jews, Hebrew, Israelites, and the Moors (Our nationalities) All got solutions for these animals (That’s what they tellin’ me) To free us from our lower selves (The yin and yang) They say we need to know ourselves (Your heritage) They didn’t teach us how to in-terstand (Not in school) How to outta-stand and how to over-stand (We use they books) They only taught us how to understand (That’s all they taught us) Ever since they took us from the Motherland [Chorus] I get it - Jesus didn’t have blue eyes Blonde hair, but sheep wool. Skin, bronze (Like mine) You say, “That’s what the text say.” I say, “Oh, we usin’ the Bible?” (Oh, okay!) Well, let me show you what the text say Checkmate - context is so vital You’re making reference to Revelation in Chapter 1 Verses 14 and following. The Apostle John Gave a description of his vision of Jesus, the Son Them characteristics represented judgment to come And other things But, it wasn’t describing his race (At all) In that case, He literally has fire in His face So, we cannot isolate verses and makin’ ‘em say What we want. Warnings of that are on the last page In that same book [Chorus] Jesus is the culmination (The fulfillment) Of all the Old Testament pages (All the imagery) The last Adam and the Son of David (The reigning Kings) The suffering servant and the light to the nations (The final Priest) Who perfectly overcame all of His temptations (Faithful remnants[?]) The first born from the dead and fruit of the New Creation (The ultimate prophet) I hear that you live by the law (You are?) Just know when you’re droppin’ the ball (You gon’ sin) The Yahweh is not lettin’ you off (You’re sin-natured) ‘Cause if you break one, then you’ve broken ‘em all (That’s His standard) And, all your sacrifices will never suffice (Never!) ‘Cause Yahweh only accepts perfection in life (That’s it!) So, by this standard, Jesus is the true Israel And, the people of Yahweh are united to Christ (Grace!...) [Chorus] You need to have friendships and relationships with people who disagree with you [x2]
