"Power To Die Feat Brothatone"

by Derek Minor (PRo)
Album: Redemption

Uh, Yeah
Verse 1
Now when I'm done I know alotta ya'll gon say that I'm a hater
But ya'll treat the Holy Spirit like magic, Lakers
The pastor (') ya fall to the ground
If you ain't livin like Christ, what's the point of jumpin round
I think we need to see clearer why the power that was given
Not a genie in the bottle for you to have better livin
He's a untamed lion, sent to make you go harder
And as He took twelve cowards, turned most of them into martyrs
Being Christian wasn't clich', like it is today
It was death on the cross or being burned at the stake
Now please, don't get me wrong
I believe that we can prosper, but turning God into your butler
To me, is not proper
Peter was crucified, John was boiled alive
And they knew Christ , in the flesh, and wasn't spared by God
See what I'm getting at, some a you cats are liars
Seeing power to be comfortable, not power to expire

Chorus:
Now when the fight gets realer wit the man in the mirror
We got, power to die
He gave us, power to die
No this is not suicide, but I'm willin to give my life
We got, power to die
He gave us, power to die
I yell His name on the earth til' they put me in the dirt
We got, power to die
He gave us, power to die
So if it mean I don't survive to see His glory on high
We got, power to die
He gave us, power to die

Verse 2
Hey its crazy how we live like we still slaves
Like Jesus never came, Like God is never pleased, and we forever chained
But man we ain't condemned, for Him we give up everything
Every desire and breath, and that's just to let Him reign
Submittin to the will of His Spirit and not for better things
But we die to gain, new life from a God who never change
Peep the new covenant relationship we can now exchange
A Sunday kinda love, call it the Etta James
Love beyond the weekend, trust to the last scripture
We rise before Easter, and follow Him past Christmas
Wrestle with bad habits, break 'em like glass dishes
Pick up our cross and walk til our should blade have blisters
We got power dawg, we can do it all through Christ,
Focus on the sacrifice, you can't afford to lose sight
Continue to follow right, pursue Him wit all your might
And deny yourself, you call it death, we call it new life

Verse 3
Yo (') stand flat footed on the Word no matter how life turns
To equate your life work without the Lord is absurd sir
Sin will try to put you in a backyard fight
But the Spirit got a right like Kimbo Slice
Uppercut like Tyson, roundhouse like Van Dam
One inch punch like Bruce Lee, resourceful like Jackie Chan
So, what you getting whoop fo', I suggest you scrap folk
Then one day we will be glorified, that's a fact bro
But 'til he come back to overcome evil for good
We must kill our sin nature, everyday, understood
By fastin you deny yourself and bring it to submission
Prayer reminds you who the captain is, humbling to His mission
Read the scriptures, they reveal God and His purpose
What's the point of having the weapon if you don't know how to work it
There's strength in unity, so fight with the community
These two spirit dudes will help you die to you and me
