Reverend Run Sermon

[Reverend Run]

Now I said, now here this

Thus sayesth the Lord God

And I believe, a lot of us

Shouldn't even condemn these rappers

Because if nobody would ah told me about God

People would ah been

The church folks would ah been

Talkin bad about me

I believe we gon' have people like

Rev. Snoop Doggy Dogg up here soon

We gon' have Rev. 2Pac

These brothaz need your encouragement

They do not need you to pull them down

I don't believe in bashin these people

That are out there on the street

I believe in encouraging them

I believe in bringin'em in

Because if nobody would ah helped me

I'd been messed up

Do unto others as you would want done to you

If you see ya brothaz and sista out there

On the street

And you know they back slittin

Don't just go tell sista so-and-so

You heard what happened on that child

Go and get her

Bring her in, and this is the reason you seen her

'cause God wants you to go and get her

God wants you to love your brothaz and sistaz

Dis is not a game of hurtin each other

It's a game of helpin each other

You got to help one another

You got to love one another

You got to respect on another

We have such a crab mentality these days

You see somebody comin to the top ah the brow

You wanna pull'em down

But I believe we should help on another

I'm tellin ya right now, saints

I've given you my heart today

I'm lettin you know all the secret things that happened to me

It's not easy for to come out here and talk about

The things that happened in the past

But I want you to know somethin

That God has completely turned my life around

Let everyone stand

Give the Lord a hand clap

Praise the Lord
