Lockdown (Freestyle) - Cole The VII

I’ve been trying to write a lot of songs in lockdown

Holy Spirit telling me, I gotta write a lot down

I’m not trynna claim no title, I am no G.O.A.T

I don’t want to say these words, if I’m gonna have to gloat

I know the greatest of all time it ain’t Michael Jordan

If I say the real G.O.A.T, it’ll leave your mouth open

The real G.O.A.T ain’t a goat, it’s a lamb

He died for us all, so worthy is the lamb

Worthy is the lamb, Worthy is the lamb

Worthy is the lamb, he died for us all, so worthy is the lamb

It started with the word, the word was with God

The word was God, so the lamb was God

His mission was to come and seek and save that which was lost

He paid the price, no one can ever find out the cost

Even if you had a million dollars on the coast

Even if you had the whole world in your hands

Let’s go bigger, even if you had the whole universe

If you had the blueprints and the plans to the galaxy

If you think you’re gonna pay him

Then you’re living in a fantasy

Now you’re thinking, how am I ever even gonna pay him?

That’s the thing, you can’t pay him

If you really wanna pay him, pay him back with your love

Cos you can’t give him stuff

He first loved us, so that’s why we love him

If you’re trynna comprehend it, then I think you must be buzzing

His love is not quantifiable

But his love is surely undeniable

Let me tell a story about the past, listen up, I might go fast

Way before COVID, way before wearing gloves and masks

I’m finna paint a picture, so picture a court room

Picture a judge, sitting in the court room

You’re thinking, why did I say it twice?

So I can give some emphasis

It’s the start of the story, it’s like Genesis

I’m coming with the fire, but the rain is my nemesis

Imma have to light a bush, like God did in Exodus

In front of the judge, yeah there is a criminal

Guilty of theft, murder and assault, he is cynical

The judge trynna give him 25 to life

But the jury saying nah, we finna take his life

Then boom, from the back of the room

A man dressed in white, yeah he’s walking a like a groom

He came to the judge in the front of the room

He said, what would it take to let him off the hook?

We can’t take him off the hook, he has to pay!

Okay let me pay, and let him go his way

All of his mistakes, yeah I’m taking them my way

I’ll die for him, just so he can be okay

So the judge let the criminal go free

The verdict is the same, it is 25 to life

But the jury are saying that we finna take his life

So they took his life

Crucifixion!

Nail pierced hands and a crown made of thorns

Then he died

He loved him, so he traded his life

He loved him, he was ready to die

A few days later yeah he rose again

He lives!

The king lives again!

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only son

That whosoever shall believe, shall not perish

But have everlasting life
