The Ambassador


(feat. Karan Sabir) 

[Chorus] 
You, in the Maybach 
Laid back with the wave cap 
Make your way back home 
You, in the Von Dutch 
Louis Vuittoned up 
Girl, your times up- come back home 
You, with the corn rows and the long fros 
Lookin' all swole, come back home 
You, pretty princess 
In the pink dress with the pink vest come back home 

[Verse One] 
I represent a people that fell through the cracks 
Their creative- you can tell it from the wealth of their raps 
They gotta story 
Which some are known to tell on their backs 
Or through graffiti 
Others use music and tell it through wax 
Take it back 
I would cause those are relevant facts 
But that was back when we were midgets on a elephant's back 
But today we're the elephants that 
Other people wanna stand on 
We're no longer still in the back 
But problems have emerged like the sellin' of crack 
Kids'll put a shell in a gat 
Then put a shell in your back 
And there's a gap between Hip-Hop and the church 
Leavin' them stranded like a rescue team stop to a search 
But now it's on 
That era's gone a new era's born 
They never met Christ 
They only met Farrakhan 
Well it's changing cause now we're pickin' up the pieces 
Expect to see the ecclesia givin' ya to Jesus 

[Chorus] 

[Verse Two] 
We're all apart of the original fall away 
In Adam we all fall and y'all it was all the way 
Yeah we're lost 
But the message of the cross has been bearin' fruit 
But only seems to be for lost souls wearin' suits 
Back in the day when my Pop's was growing up 
Saved or not on Sunday your hind parts was showin' up 
Forget it you headed directly to the steeple 
Church was on and poppin' especially for the Negro 
But today, Hip-Hop's got new affinities 
Money, power, and sex, and a lot of new trinities 
Church or the club? 
They'll chose club life quickly 
Look, you can find them in the club like 50 
As for ushers I've seen theirs 
He dances without a shirt and the guy screams, "Yeah" 
Plus they get to see Lil' Jon 
It's ludacris if you think you're gonna see them read a little John 

[Verse Three] 

Peep God's people- called out of evil 
We do more than hang under a steeple 
Meet the lethal adversary call it the flesh 
A new status but a body with old habits- all of it meshed 
All with no rest we fight 
Can't just do what we please 
We're like kids and sin's like the new Chuck E. Cheese 
So, we strive to give him all not just 10 % 
Cause we're called to live life different not influenced 
Instead we influence things 
Been convinced sin ruins things 
No longer them sensual beings 
So it's gonna be tight 
And it's on every night 
But if loving sin is wrong, we wanna be right 
So each morning we fight and tell the body relax 
Don't feed the flesh and you watch how the body reacts 
We've gotta read Acts cause it's an all out war 
Kind of thing that you've got to be called out for 

[Chorus]
