10

Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues Deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this

To look after orphans and widows in their distressAnd to keep oneself from being polluted by the world

We are the resistance

I′m with that tribe of Christians

Trynna tell anyone who's listening

That′s ignorance, it's not our religion

We are the resistance

I'm with that tribe of Christians

Who stand up frequently

And tell everybody, "45, he don′t speak for me"

(Push back) errybody from right to left... (AYYY) errybody from right to left...

(Push back) errybody from right to left, there′s a way seems right but it leads to death

(Push back) errybody from left to right... (AYYY) errybody from left to right

(Push back) errybody from left to right... what's done in the dark will be brought to light

We are, in a crazy time, thought it would be an amazing time, but the landscape′s

Desolate, folks gettin' desperate, even the Verizon guy done left for Sprint

And the truth can′t get through to the electorate, we're still gettin′ duped

By the pundits that they choose, don't like the view, then call it fake news

But they can't speak for you or speak for me, when they twist up the truth so frequently

On frequencies and airwaves and websites, they act like white supremacy is their

Birthright, as they fight for church rights, but the Lord is coming to set the church right

Set the earth right, let′s discuss this sweet shalom that we call justice

Cause the funny thing about it is, we the ones who should be knowin′ the truth

We should be liable for not reading the Bible, 'cause social justice, man it ain′t new

They was gettin' it in back then, with Peter and the blanket of food in Acts 10

Paul the apostle lost his patience, in the epistle he penned to the Galatians

They were treating Gentiles like a second class to the Jew, and he was like

"Maaan, you foolish Galatians, what done bewitched you?" that ain′t the

Gospel I brought, and it's really not what you should believe in

All I really taught was Christ crucified

I′mma tell you like I told the Ephesians, here's the reason

Ever since Isaac and Ishmael, we've based our faith on a racial basis

When we do that, we do damage to the gospel in a million places, and people be like

"Why you gotta be confrontational when you talk about race?" and I be like

"Did you read the part when Paul wrote he opposed Peter to his face?"

Yeah that′s what I thought

We are the resistance

I′m with that tribe of Christians

Trynna tell anyone who's listening

That′s ignorance, it's not our religion

We are the resistance

I′m with that tribe of Christians

Who stand up frequently

And tell everybody, "45, he don't speak for me"

(Push back) errybody from right to left... (AYYY) errybody from right to left...

(Push back) errybody from right to left, there′s a way seems right but it leads to death

(Push back) errybody from left to right... (AYYY) errybody from left to right

(Push back) errybody from left to right... what's done in the dark will be brought to light

If you don't like being called racist, it′s not enough to not be, you gotta be anti

They can try to attack or kill you cause you′re unfamiliar, but the truth, well it can't die

It can only get stronger, cause the truth resists all attempts at suppression, and

Since the truth is a person, it′s urgent TO practice confession, when I

Said that it's not just a right wing problem, I don′t think they heard me

But the MAX train killer didn't only reflect Trump, He also repped Bernie

That′s a fact that should be bothering you because the hard left can be intolerant too

And if we holler when it' s fake, we should holler when true, and not exaggerate

Just to make a dollar or two, shoot

It's not simple, it′s complex, Galatians 3, read it in context and you′ll

Get the gist of it, we exist to fit grace inside the law, right smack in the

Midst of it, but when a crisis is imminent, doesn't mean both sides are equivalent

When they deflect, deny, deceive, we must then follow the truth wherever it leads

C′mon, it's not hard to use the good sense that the good Lord gave ya

I refuse to excuse the continual enabling of bad behavior, it don′t make

Sense, how you gonna say you're a Christian but you′re still on the fence

All kinds of shady deeds lead to a mountain of evidence, but you're still not convinced

It's willful ignorance, if you approve of the government′s help when it comes around

As long as all the recipients are rich and white instead of being poor black or brown

You guys are clowns, if you think that Christians don′t care, man, we bout to call your bluff

The midterm's just around the corner, 2018 can′t come fast enough, let's go

(Push back) errybody from right to left... (AYYY) errybody from right to left...

(Push back) errybody from right to left, there′s a way seems right but it leads to death

(Push back) errybody from left to right... (AYYY) errybody from left to right

(Push back) errybody from left to right... what's done in the dark will be brought to light

So what do I resist? Well for one, I resist being partisan

And try not to quickly judge another culture′s lens or the art it's in

It's not about conservative or liberal ideology, or either political idolatry

But how to love my neighbor when I′m standin′ in line at the Dollar Tree

And speakin' of which, what we need is more, protecting children and feedin′ the poor

But let's not behave like photo ops are all that we need ′em for

They're the ones we should be pleading for, the ones whom Jesus was broken and bleeding for

They need a door to open like Jehovah opened up the Red Sea before

And that′s a miracle, more than we can pay for, but it ain't more than we can pray for

Let the legacy of Peter continue, I have no gold, but what I have I give you

Let em know they can stand, if they can't tell, and let em rise up, Lin Manuel

They need a policy voice in this forum, so that you can do it with and not for em

I′m all for respect and decorum, but we can′t seek the floor and not seek to roar

Against unjust evil plans advanced by corporate conquistadors

If you really believe that He's risen, stop the pipeline from schools to prison

Incarceratin′ the nation without restoration or rehabilitation is

Godless nonsense, we need the church to regain its conscience, it ain't

Rocket science, or telekinesis, don′t act religious, just act like Jesus

If they ask, "are you one of those Christians?" Play this song and give em another definition

When there's people in need of assistance, we take the path of most resistance

We are the resistance

I′m with that tribe of Christians

Trynna tell anybody that's listening

Ignorance is not our religion

We are the resistance

I'm with that tribe of Christians

Who stand up frequently

And tell everybody, "45 don′t speak for me"

(Push back) errybody from right to left... (AYYY) errybody from right to left...

(Push back) errybody from right to left, there′s a way seems right but it leads to death

(Push back) errybody from left to right... (AYYY) errybody from left to right

(Push back) and tell everybody, "45 don't speak for me"
