[Intro] Oh, you found the light, didja? Still out here in the night, with ya Talk close to voices that aim to please.. sleep with the dogs, you gonna get fleas.. [Verse 1 - Rap] People like to put on the armor of God But more often than not they're playin the fraud Preach the light then reach for the rod Call it faith but it's a mask, a facade You said you reign, said you're better than us Said you're the creator — nah, that's just lust Pride wearin a cross, callin itself trust Talk about mercy while you turnin to dust Wrapped in the word but the word ain't in you Quote the psalms then you spit somethin cruel Can't wear the armor and act a fool Meant for the war that the devil designed you [Chorus - Melodic Rap, Reflective] Armor of God, but you're playin the fraud Can't hold the shield and still swing the sword Say you found peace, still playin at war (lord) That ain't the armor — that's a broken metaphor [Verse 2 - Rap] Say you got aggression, call it defense Say the devil's temptin, but you payin his rent Livin off pride while you preachin repent That's not a witness, that's just an accent Poverty makes the stomach churn Left in the dark, watch it burn But you can't heal a wound swingin at who? Pain don't excuse when you aim at the weak The real ones at fault are the ones with the reach [Chorus - Melodic Rap, Reflective] Armor of God, but you're playin the fraud Can't hold the shield and still swing the sword Say you found peace, still playin at war (lord) That ain't the armor — that's a broken metaphor [Verse 3 - Rap, Pointed] He who runs with wolves and calls it his choir Laughs when somebody's callin for fire At people who ain't done nothin but pray Mindin their own down the street, day to day He who calls it love while he's actin a bitch That ain't scripture, that's just bait and switch He who preaches peace while he's buildin a list It ain't bold, dats cowardice (UN-impressed!!) Homes turned to rubble, a child in the dust Buried by silence and broken trust Children are the ones in the funeral pyre While they call it justice, callin' it higher maybe i'm preachin' to the choir, He who claims he got love, he's chosen more like a wolf in sheep's clothing [guitar solo] [Bridge - Spoken, Elder to Younger] I see you, kid — I ain't here to condemn just trying to talk as friend to friend But an old man's gotta tell you true The company you keep gon come back on you Watch who you lay in bed with, and what you repeat Not every voice that claps for you walks in the street You got a gift, but a gift ain't a pass Speak careless, and words bite your ass [Chorus - Melodic Rap, Reflective] Armor of God, but you're playin the fraud Can't hold the shield and still swing the sword Say you found peace, still playin at war (lord) That ain't the armor — that's a broken metaphor [Outro] Take the armor off if it's just for show Or wear it right and let the pride go
