Uhh! They don't wanna battle

They ain't ready for the battle, uh-uh, uh-uh (Temple of Hip-Hop)

Listen, listen, listen



Your spirit AIN'T READY

Your church AIN'T READY

Your bishop AIN'T READY

Your deacons AIN'T READY

Your choir AIN'T READY

Your ushers AIN'T READY

At the Temple of Hip-Hop

WE TEACH MANY!





Look! To all my people hurtin, all my people searchin

What we know for sure, God is always workin

Workin while you flirtin, workin while you jerkin

Workin while the world is turnin and these cities burnin

God is always workin, workin while you learnin

Workin while you ignorant and when you're not concernin

Christ consciousness, get that, got that

Spit that, rock that, hip that, hop that

You sniff that? Stop that, I give back and got back

Greedy? I'm not that, you needy for that shock rap

Slangin on the block rap, duckin where the cops at

I don't know that, but Jesus done copped that

Not that man on the cross, it ain't like that

You must act like the son of God, that's where the lights at

Stop readin only and start bein show me

Like the resurrection I'll be back, they can't hold me







One thing's for sure and believe it hurt

It's when the pastor ain't sure, and deceives the church

They don't know God's law, and can't see God at work

So when they see hip-hop, they push it to the back of the church

Like fig trees or figures they don't bear fruit

They gospel artists, still tryin to chase that loot

Hear the truth now, I come to enhance the light

They women of God, singin while they pants is tight?

They not hot! Really they, regular

They clothes they flows, all that, secular -ac
