Lyrics The Ambassador

The Ambassador

Thesis Pieces

[Verse 1]

Looks like it finally came around like the hands of a clock

Praise to Yahweh Nissi

Shout to the Banner—Shabach

This LP is two sided—for the man on the block

And for the flock who thinks keeping God's commandment is hot

On one side we wanna represent Christ to the Culture

Hip-Hop mostly knows Him for making tight little posters

Or a sculpture, but they can't view Him like they're supposed to

'Cause the gospel's never been preached to them like its' supposed to

And the life in Christ has never even looked like an answer

Except for locked up crooks and Big Mas with cancer

So, Ambassador is back to give you his thesis

The greatest need in Hip-Hop is the input of Jesus

[Hook]

It's the thesis we need this

The story in short

Hip-Hop properly submitted to the glorious Lord

It's problematic 'cause

It can be scary to like

But... Jesus makes everything right (2x)

[Verse 2]

My topic—the redemption of Hip-Hop you got it

But I told you that this thesis is at least two sided

Can't just introduce Christ to the culture like an evangelist

The church needs to be schooled on hip-hop culture so plan for this

I'm a Christian admitin' were wastin' our wisdom

if we don't engage the streets, peep the nation of Islam

They promote a better culture and faith integration

But no resurrection or message of grace that can save men

So God's diggin' in the meeting place

Looking for those needing grace

To launch out from the over crowded breeding space

What will He find?

Just what He designed—Hip-Hop's got missionaries

He brought up for these times

[Hook]
