Текст песни LOCKDOWN - Cole The VII

LOCKDOWN

I’ve been trying to write a lot of songs in lockdown
Holy Spirit telling me, I gotta write a lot down
I’m not trynna claim no title, I am no G.O.A.T
I don’t want to say these words, if I’m gonna have to gloat
I know the greatest of all time it ain’t Michael Jordan
If I say the real G.O.A.T, it’ll leave your mouth open
The real G.O.A.T ain’t a goat, it’s a lamb
He died for us all, so worthy is the lamb
Worthy is the lamb, Worthy is the lamb
Worthy is the lamb, he died for us all, so worthy is the lamb
It started with the word, the word was with God
The word was God, so the lamb was God
His mission was to come and seek and save that which was lost
He paid the price, no one can ever find out the cost
Even if you had a million dollars on the coast
Even if you had the whole world in your hands
Let’s go bigger, even if you had the whole universe
If you had the blueprints and the plans to the galaxy
If you think you’re gonna pay him
Then you’re living in a fantasy
Now you’re thinking, how am I ever even gonna pay him?
That’s the thing, you can’t pay him
If you really wanna pay him, pay him back with your love
Cos you can’t give him stuff
He first loved us, so that’s why we love him
If you’re trynna comprehend it, then I think you must be buzzing
His love is not quantifiable
But his love is surely undeniable
Let me tell a story about the past, listen up, I might go fast
Way before COVID, way before wearing gloves and masks
I’m finna paint a picture, so picture a court room
Picture a judge, sitting in the court room
You’re thinking, why did I say it twice?
So I can give some emphasis
It’s the start of the story, it’s like Genesis
I’m coming with the fire, but the rain is my nemesis
Imma have to light a bush, like God did in Exodus
In front of the judge, yeah there is a criminal
Guilty of theft, murder and assault, he is cynical
The judge trynna give him 25 to life
But the jury saying nah, we finna take his life
Then boom, from the back of the room
A man dressed in white, yeah he’s walking a like a groom
He came to the judge in the front of the room
He said, what would it take to let him off the hook?
We can’t take him off the hook, he has to pay!
Okay let me pay, and let him go his way
All of his mistakes, yeah I’m taking them my way
I’ll die for him, just so he can be okay
So the judge let the criminal go free
The verdict is the same, it is 25 to life
But the jury are saying that we finna take his life
So they took his life
Crucifixion!
Nail pierced hands and a crown made of thorns
Then he died
He loved him, so he traded his life
He loved him, he was ready to die
A few days later yeah he rose again
He lives!
The king lives again!
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only son
That whosoever shall believe, shall not perish
But have everlasting life
