Xander DMC - New Birth State of Mind! Lyrics

Yo
DMX rest in peace
People still wonder where we go when we sleep
I tell you where
Hebrews 9:27
Either Hell or Heaven
No in between no guessing
Catholics like to get that wrong
Protestant for life you can hear it in my songs
I am not the type to cheer others on
When they're doing wrong
I'm more of the type to show 'em God yeah
I don't want you to applaud
Portraying an image when I'm timid and flawed
I am so not sinless I got problems off and on
That's why you see me call
Jesus Christ in all of my bars yeah
One Begotten Son of God
Adopted in the family now I'm planted in the garden
I beg your pardon, you see I'm all in
But sometimes I'm Joseph Stalin, I get to crawling
Pick me up and lend this dawg a hand
There's no glam in this Christian rap
Reach peeps won't admit to that
Yo
Bryson Gray asked rightly where the Scripture at
When it comes to them clearly it's all in the past
Not me, cause you know Ima keep it fresh
No joke, no twists when I read the text
Gentile, through a Seed all seeds get blessed
I'm at your table like a dog, that's DMX

Yo you get it?
I'm at your table like a dog, that's DMX?
That's a reference to Jesus and the Canaanite women
Open up your Bibles

DMX rest in peace, yo
New birth state of mind
Stay on my grind
Gotta stay on my grind, hey
New birth state of mind
Stay on my grind
Gotta stay on my grind
Woo, yeah
New birth state of mind
Stay on my grind
Gotta stay on my grind
Hey, hey
New birth state of mind
I told you one time

Yo, look
Verse 2 let's get it
You're messing with the best
I don't stress over your feelings
I got interest in most Marvel villains
I find 'em more relatable, it's prolly cause I'm different
Yeah
Feel the beat drop on me
Ain't messing with you snakes so don't call me Uncle Monty
Bookbag in the car seat
Teachers can't stop me
Walk up into class, start dropping some philosophy
Hey
Look I give no apologies
Apologetics on the mic dawg no Socrates
See the choreography
Rhymes off the top of the charts
This music thing was with me from the start
But I do it all for Christ
I need a squad
To help not fall to vice
Yeah that's the church
Ima stay with 'em and serve
You watch us emerge
Till Christ comes back to this earth

New birth state of mind
Stay on my grind
Gotta stay on my grind
Hey, hey
New birth state of mind
Stay on my grind
Gotta stay on my grind
Hey, hey
New birth state of mind
Stay on my grind
Gotta stay on my grind
Woo, yeah
New birth state of mind
I told you one time

Yeah, uh
Rest in peace DMX
Rest in peace Hip-hop
Heart and prayers for your family
Long live the King
The Lord Jesus Christ
He's reigning now
And He's reigning forever
Let's follow Him
Rah
