[Intro – hushed spoken word over a single sustained pad, no drums] God does not speak... like a man speaks. [low heartbeat pulse] Not a sound. A weight. A dimension. [beat drops] [Hook] Not a sound, it's a weight — spirit, dimension, flame He don't speak like a man speak, so I gotta learn His game Give me skill and understanding, that's the cry, that's the prayer 'Cause if I don't know the language, I'm a stranger without a care Two can't walk if we don't agree (nah) So don't let me be a stranger to what You speak to me [Verse 1] Daniel on his face, still praying at the hour Gabriel came flying — swift, a messenger of power Touched him at the evening, said "I'm here to make it plain You are greatly loved — so understand, don't refrain" Getting the word ain't the same as knowing what it mean Even filled with the Spirit don't make you fluent in the scene Holy Ghost the teacher, yeah, but students still gotta learn Revelation ain't the microwave — it's a slow and steady burn Study it, discipline it, humble while you grow The higher the dimension, the more the mercy gotta show [Pre-Hook – building, ad-libs stacking] Wisdom, understanding, counsel and might Knowledge and the fear of the Lord — sevenfold Spirit Breathed in when you born again, deposited within That's the toolkit for the language, that's how the skill begins [Hook] (repeat) [Verse 2] Logos is the written Word, forever true Rhema is the fresh word, made specific just for you Sometimes He whisper soft — still small voice, gentle breeze Sometimes it's dark speeches — chiydah — bring you to your knees Tryna solve the riddle that the Spirit wanna show Sometimes He send a sign — semeion — so you know It ain't about the volume, it's about the weight it brings Every form of language from the mouth of the King [Hook] (repeat, ad-libs building) [Verse 3] Open vision hit you clear, ain't no mystery in the game Closed vision keep you praying, tryna decode the aim Dreams while you sleeping, visions in the night Daniel seen it, Joseph seen it — walking function out of sight Then the trance come — ekstasis — out your body, out your mind Peter on the rooftop, Paul was caught up, left behind God don't need your eyes open to show you what He see He'll pull you past the natural if you willing to believe [Bridge – pull back, half-time, intimate] Prayer is the portal — not the interpreter, though Meditate the Word till the revelation start to grow Praise until the atmosphere start to shift and bend Fast until the flesh get quiet and the Spirit can descend Some got caught up outside the body — Paul ain't even sure which way Third heaven, paradise — heard things he couldn't say This is how you build the skill, this is how you learn to see This the training ground for walking in prophetic ministry [Bridge 2 – beat switch, intensity up, roll-call cadence] Ezekiel got carried — prophet of divine transport Spirit lifted him and brought him past the courts John got caught up too — "come up hither," heaven's door Saw the throne, saw the scroll, saw what's coming, saw before Elijah was the master — rode a whirlwind, chariot of flame Moses in the cloud of glory, forty days he stayed the same Every one of them got skill, every one of them got trained Ask Him for interpreters — that's how the burden gets sustained [Hook – final, full band] Not a sound, it's a weight — spirit, dimension, flame He don't speak like a man speak, so I gotta learn His game Give me skill and understanding, that's the cry, that's the prayer 'Cause if I don't know the language, I'm a stranger without a care [Outro – staircase fade: full band → keys only → vocal only → silence] Skill and understanding... [band drops to keys only] Skill and understanding... [keys drop, vocal only, echo trailing] Skill... and... understanding... [fade to silence]
