[Rap Verse 1]
They preach a faith with no fire, agreed with no spine
Gospel rewritten in a Roman design, crossing every line
Just believe and you're saved, that's the enemy's game
But the Master never taught us to preach cheap grace
They quote Paul like an idol, put the prophets on mute
Turn obedience to fairy tales and call it the truth
But you spoke of a kingdom, the humble receive
Not by empty confessions, but by good deeds
Action speaks louder, that's the ancient way
Love given daily, not just words we say
They want shortcuts to heaven, skip the narrow road
But you said pick up your cross, carry the load
Lukewarm generation claiming fire in their chest
But when it comes to righteousness , they settle for less
Cheap grace theology got them comfortable in sin
But the real gospel's calling, let the kingdom begin

[Chorus]
No murder, no stealing, no envy, no lies
No lust in the shadows, no mask of disguise
Love one another is the command that you gave
And by this you will be saved
If you love me, keep my commands
Let righteousness burn bright, keep my commands
Walk in love, do what is right
Eternal life is the golden rule, keep my commands, yeah
Keep my commands, keep my commands
Keep my commands, keep my commands

[Rap Verse 2]
They preach faith alone, but ignore your demands
Gospel amputated by priestly hands
Trading sacred truth for the comfort they crave
Dress in rebellion in grace like a whitewashed grave, yeah
Your message was simple, clear like a crystal
Love God with everything and love God's people
But they made it complex, theology so dense
It doesn't follow logically, it doesn't make sense
Someone who never met him came and taught cheap grace
Said faith without works still wins the race
But James said plainly, show me faith with no deeds
That faith is dead, it's hollow, dead down to the weeds, yeah

[Rap Verse 3]
They say grace covers everything, just confess and move on
But repentance means turning, not just singing a song
You said if you love me, then you'll obey what I teach
Not just Sunday worship, but practice what you preach
The narrow road is narrow 'cause it requires more
Than lip service religion and an open church door
It's denying yourself, taking up the
But James said plainly, show me faith with no deeds
That faith is dead, it's hollow, dead down to the weeds, yeah
